getting ready for my next service. any suggestions on a good filter? ive been using Fram Tough Gaurd. but its been causing me low oil pressure. thanks in advance.

PS. i work for Pepboys so what ever filter u guys reccomend i can get, even if its not from Pepboys..

 

I always use the purolator filter from advance...

Has served me well so far!

 

Motorcraft FL-1 Big filter and it has a Anti-drain back.

 

I use Napa Gold.

 

I like to use STP from Autozone.

 

Nothing but WIX for years, ever since I cut open about 3 different filters. Never use anything else. Even for my fuel filters.

 

napa gold 1515.......... wix 51515......or if you can get a good discount on it the mobile 1 hi efficiency . its more than double what I pay for the napa golds but has a better micron rating.

 

DON'T USE FRAM!!!!!!!

I use MANN, or KFM, pure one is good, K&N is good and Mobil is good (those are pricey though)

 

FL-1-A motorcraft

 

Will the NAPA Gold 1515 fit a 1992 with the oil filter opening facing down?

What a **** poor design! How do you remove it with out getting oil all over the place? And how do you fill the filter to prime it, you have to flip the filter down and there goes all your oil you just put in the filter!!
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???????????

 

I personally only use Mobil 1 Filters. I've heard the Mopar brand are good also. Had the same low pressure issue. The Mobil 1 filter fix it and also netted me around +50 miles to a tank.

 

Priming the filters is nice to do but not necessary and with the upside down setup.. it really is impossible..

just have a can of brake cleaner and spray it all off afterwards...

I should use a mobil or something else this time.. I have great oil pressure but when it gets warm the oil pressure drops alot.

 

Fram is crap, stick with WIX, Napa filters are also WIX filters

 

WIX Rocks I have been using them forever and never had a problem..STAY AWAW from Fram, they dont hold the pressure in after you shut the motor down...Tj

 

Purolators are great. The Pure One for years was internally identical to the Mobil 1 and K&N filters (which were made by Purolator), although I don't think they are anymore.

Personally I use the Wix because that's the best my local store has. Everything I've seen in reviews and cutopen pics shows them to be solidly built.

Frams are junk. The endcaps are cardboard and held to the filter material with glue. The drainback valves are plastic and break easily. I won't use them. If you search oil filter reviews on google, there are lots of articles with pictures backing me up.
