what is a good oil filter

suprabahamut · 10-21-2007, 04:59 AM

I have been using Fram filters but I have heard they are not that good. So what are some good oil filters, and about the Average price of them.

WIX is considered one of the best, by all the research I did.

It has metal end caps on the filter element, a standard nitrile anti-drainback valve, and a seemingly good flow. They are manufactured by the Dana corporation. These appear to have a depth gradient filter element, which uses cotton fibers to progressively trap smaller particles as they get deeper in the filter. This helps maintain good flow as the filter gets plugged.
