Which one of the THREE oil filters is better?
 
For those in the know, I'm about to bulk order some oil filters.

I had been using the Napa (Wix), but it's on the expensive side.

I have heard very good things about the Denso, which is OEM spec (Atkins Rotary rebadge), and apparently has lots of filter media.

I have heard good things about the Purolator PureONE, but also heard it may be a little restrictive.

I have heard very good things about the Nippon.

(I can't find a supplier for the Toyko Roki, which I've heard VERY good things about).

Here they are (about the same price):

So, which one?

I used WiX, now I use K&N, soon gonna use Mobil1 (thx to the AutoZone deal)

WiX is not that expensive IMO.

WiX is not that expensive IMO.

The NAPA Gold is basically $8, which is lot, IMO, for an oil filter if one is changing their oil every 3-4k miles.


I do like the WIX build quality and flow rate, though.

What's the AutoZone Mobil 1 filter deal?

TIA

Real my Castrol thread in General Automotive Section :)

I can get WiX filter at my local auto shop for 6 bux a piece. Not that much IMO :)

I change my oil every 1.5 - 3K miles ... am I pouring money down to the drain ? :)

Mazda OEM that dealers sell, it is of a different supplier than Atkins rotary (Mahle in Germany I believe)

I use "Fram" Hard drive or what ever its called. The one for stop and go traffic.

I've always used Mobil 1. Never tried anything else.

Mobil 1 Model M1-108 for a Mobil Filter. the Mobil 1 Model M1-110 is a bigger filter 'longer', it's in the threads. I've been using this and i fits just fine.

K&N and Wix as they provide excellent flow to go with good filtering.

beers :beer:

I recently switched to Atkins.

whitebeau 02-25-2008 12:40 PM

Atkins diet... nice

tdiddy 02-25-2008 12:52 PM

I use the Mobil1 M1-110

I use K&N...not that its a big deal, but the 1'' nut attached to the top makes it easier to replace using a ratchet.
