Which oil filter

[Scott S]

I'm currently running Motorcraft filters on my Ford Edge but my local Walmart doesn't carry them anymore, so I started getting them at Amazon and they started arriving damaged. I really don't want to get them from Rock Auto it will come out too much with shipping, Dealer wants too much.. Looking for another quality filter I guess..
Thank you

FRAM Ultra should be available at walmart... leave it on for two oil changes to offset the cost

Supertech filter is a solid choice as long as you're not doing extended OCIs.

FRAM have they improved over the last decade? Supertech is that still a champion labs filter like a 3000 mi filter isn't it? I'm going to start running synthetic from synthetic blend I only run maybe, 6,000 mile oil changes

I say shop around some more? How many are you using? Two a year at most?
I recall Target had sold oil filters. My Walmart still carries them.
I might pick up three as they are about 10 bucks for three
for the FL400S I have been using. Nice filter from an install point of view. IDK about "performance".

 

[Scott S]

Mine is a FL500. I use about two a year..

Perhaps you should spend some time reading this specific forum, there is abundant information on this topic and on Fram in particular.

Volumes and volumes of discussion and information.

There are always Wix or NAPA Gold/Platinum

 

[Scott S]

Yeah there is a Napa but not too far from here..

Yes Fram filters have been improved greatly and the orange Extra Guards are an excellent value. The fears over the "cardboard" endcaps have zero substance and the silicone adbv is a huge plus over basic supertechs.

Supertechs are still champ labs. The basic ST- line is advertised for up to 10k mile intervals.

Maybe order 2 or 3 from Amazon so they are sent in a box vs padded envelope.

NAPA has some good sales on oil filters once and awhile. In particular the NAPA Platinum.

When I can't get deals on Wix/Napa (my Napa doesn't do the filter sales) I get Fram TG's from wally.

 

[PimTac]

Fram, Champ Labs, all the same.
