What Oil Filter, and Brand oil are you guys using?

[Matt]

Hey, first timer here. Since I don't have permission to put in a Poll, I'm gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way.

I'm doing an informal survey myself just to see what the enthusiasts use in their own cars. Please don't quote the filter studies found all over the web, I know all about them, have even linked them myself. This is more or less an economic view of who buys what, determining who holds what market share, etc. and if certain advertising claims hold up to their meaning.

Please state the make model year and engine with the brand oil filter as well as the viscosity of the oil you use. Thanks for your help!!

here's the link of what I have already covered:

If you're crusing the engine oil BBS at night, I'd say you're pretty close to becomming one

Oh. An' here I thought it was 'cause I didn't have a life...

 

[cryptokid]

i currently use purolator purone filters on all the cars a service, there is 6 cars in my family i service.
now that i know the el cheapo wal-mart filters are pretty good ones, i will be switching to those at the next oil change weekend. (yes i have a weekend dedicated to maintence of 6 cars)
so i guess you should count me in as a super tech user, although i havent switched yet.

and ues, anyone posting to an oil site has no life.
that doesnt include me though, im not really here, im sleeping right now and this is a dream. wow thats a sucky dream huh? **** ....
