Which Oil Filter are you currently using?
 
I couldn't find if anyone had done this before so, I was just wondering what type of Oil Filters you guys uses across the board. Please VOTE! Feel free to post any comments if you want...

Please vote the one you are CURRENTLY using!

I am currently using the Purolator PureONE. In the past I have used the OEM, K&N, and Bosch. The Purlator or the OEM seem to be the "Best" from what I know.

I've used Fram in the past, but they are crap. They use cardboard for some of the internals of the filter. While i didn't notice a drop in pressure, I figured anything that important shouldn't be made with cardboard. I'm using Mobile 1 right now, I'd like to try the OEM one next round.

Either the OE Mazda filter or the Honda "big" PCX (ask for an S2000 filter.)

Currently i have a Quakerstate oil filer. IF i could get a hold of one i would get a K&N though.

bigzman 05-17-07 06:12 PM

Just curious, but why do you say that?

jgrts20 05-17-07 06:53 PM

Fram

CarzArKoo1 05-20-07 08:32 PM

how come the OEM one is better? Im using K&N

mazda13B88 05-20-07 09:23 PM

i use the honda filter. not the s2000 one but the one that honda uses on all of its cars. i work at a honda dealer so thats why.

Ice_Wolf 05-20-07 09:53 PM

K&N here. Been using them for 4 years now and still love them. If I didn't use those, it'd be the OEM, then Fram being a last resort.

FirebirdSlayer666 05-20-07 10:06 PM

I'm currently using a Pennzoil filter on my FB with no problems. I've used Fram filters as well with no problems. Yes most Honda filters will work on 89 and older rotaries as they are the same really. In 90 Mazda changed filter size to a smaller unit. I've never used any of the others but I haven't heard any bad come from them so I'd say they are good.

Whats the part number? I'm curious to see what it looks like.

dwb87 05-20-07 11:08 PM

I am currently using a Fram fliter... I prefer Bosch though.

BklynRX7 05-20-07 11:19 PM

Atkins or OEM through mazdatrix or RB whichever is more convient at the time.

HeyITZthatFC 05-21-07 12:28 AM

I use either Nippon oil filters or OEM Mazda Filters. I think there was a thread about this.

RotaMan99 05-21-07 11:20 PM

Im going to start using AMSOIL Filters and oil. Done a little research and their filters seem pretty good.

I was thinking about this a couple days ago, I used to say OEM all the way because it had more filtering meterial, but I wonder what micron the filter media will filter down too. Also the surface area seem to be limited with OEM filters.

Here is some info on the AMSOIL filters. Some other info can be found at AMSOIL.com
