Title: What oil fliter?
Post by: L18M on December 10, 2009, 05:16:26 PM
just wondering what oil filter people use, mainly directed towards people with high power fc/fd.
is there much point in changing to after market oil filters or just stick to oem ones?

Doesn\'t matter, oil gets changed 3000 miles, its not like there will be lumps of piston in there!

Ive used knightsports/R magic/Re-Amemiya and feed ones and can honestly say i couldnt tell the difference from one to the next.
 
I liked the feed ones as they are bright orange and noticable but just stick to amemiya ones now as my bro sends me them.

blueprint for the win :)
 
Depends on whether you want it to look dressy and have pictures of rotor\'s on it or some such.  The blueprint ones are black and functional :cheers

I remember someone telling me ages ago who knew of such things, that with the exception of really hgh-end ones, all oil filters come off pretty much the same production line. They just go in different coloured boxes...

And anyhoo, standard Halfrauds for me - comes out every 5k

i read some oil filters raise the oil pressure also. anyone had any experience with them?
ie hamp oil filters (they more for honda\'s) but fit fc/fd also.
