You are not going to feel a difference with oil filter. I worked at a lube shop and They had a review that said that supertec the cheap walmart stuff did better than the majority of the name brands.

OEM filter and Valvoline 5W-30 untill 20,000 miles, then to Mobil 1. I really hate going 5000 miles per change. I had the first at 4,000 done by the dealer,(I don't know why I didn't do it myself), and now I'm itchin to change it at 8,000. What do you think, is 5,000 to long for non-synthetic?

Roar?

i would use synthetic for the first change at about 3.5k for me but thats just my opinion. turns out a very clean running motor

I use K&N filters,first oil change at 1000 (installed the K&N filter also),then changed the oil again at 5000,thats when I used Mobil 1 synthetic,then changed at 10,000,I used Royal Purple synthetic.I have 11,000 miles on it now,I think I might go with Amsoil next,maybe for the life of the car.
