Which oil filter

[iontrap]

should I use when doing the initial Auto-Rx treatment? I have a 2000 Camry 4 cylinder and I've been using Bosch Premium filters.

Just use a low cost filter since it won't be on there for very long. I definitely wouldn't recommend using a PureONE or Mobil 1 or any other "low micron" type filter, which might plug up very fast. The Bosch Premium might be too restrictive too.

I'd suggest just grabbing a Supertech filter instead. A Wix filter would also be a good choice, since they claim to have a large dirt capacity.

I used a Wix for the treatment, and then went back to my normal Motorcraft filter.

any filter will do, low price that is. since it isnt going to be in there that long, i used super tech and a fram.

What I'll do is use a Supertech since they are cheap.

Thanks guys.

Oops!!! these numbers are driving me nuts. The 51365 if for my car. The WIX interchange to the PF 1177 is 51334. Then CJH posts a link giving 57082 as the interchange from the PF2244G instead of the 51365.

Yeah, ST. Not only is a ST about 2/3 the price, they have twice the filter area of a Fram PH 3950. Does anybody know how AC and WIX compare? I was going to buy a 51365 to compare to a PF 1177, but me dealerd didn't have one. The 1177 has 255 sq in, much more than any thing else I have cut open.
