Default Oil Filter & Oil

Getting ready to try a reusable oil filter by K&P Engineering. Been hearing good things about there filters. Pricy, but as much miles as I put, will pay off in a handful of oil changes. The other thing, what oil are most people running. I hear people say Amsoil and some say Syn3. Just wondering what general consensus before my 2nd oil change!

Here's my 2 cents...

Regarding reusable oil filters... I wouldn't bother with that. I suspect they are probably more trouble than what they are worth. I might check out what Kevin Baxter says in this video about filters...


I believe the filter brand he mentions is HiFlo Filtro...

As to oils... I would recommend Amsoil. It might be beneficial to view the entire video linked above.

Good stuff was leaning towards Amsoil . Are you running 20w-50 in all 3 holes and changing them every 5,000 like he recommends or just every other. I was thinking of just every other oil change doing all 3.

Thanks for the reply

Chris

General consensus...

Use oil and a filter, you will be fine.
