Once I cut my filter apart to make sure it's a Premium one, how do I get it back together to complete the oil change?

I use the cheapest Supertech filter from walmart. Use cheapest supertech conventional oil about 10$ for 5 quarts. Change every 3k miles. 257k miles on the car, original engine.

I've been buying the basic WIX oil filters just because they are made in USA, and I like that they have large inlet holes. More oil flow from the filter means easier cold start flow. They already have a silicone ADBV and a filter media that can go 10k. I don't even go that far anyways even with synthetic.

I've been using Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil and filters for years with excellent results. I pay around $32 for 5 qts and filter when Advance Auto runs their sale, which is a great price for these top quality products. Plus I only change it every 8000 to 10000 miles and my Nissan Frontier doesn't consume a drop of oil. Too many people are still changing oil WAY too frequently. It's wasteful of resources and money!

I love watching Scotty YouTube videos it's like a tv show to me.

This is one of my favorite channels on youtube.

When not to be a cheap ass:
When buying oil filters
When buying the wife a gift

I enjoy Scotty very very much! I watch most of his videos including his half hour of Scotty questions, but I wish he was a little bit more consistent with his opinion about when to change engine oil. If you listen to his videos sometimes he claims to change synthetic oil every 6 to 8000 miles and then other videos he says 10, 000 miles. Has anyone else noticed that?

Hmm Premium Guard never heard of em. Used to get Purolator at Walmart lol. But they dont carry them anymore. Usually just get a Fram Extra guard supposedly good for like 5k mi for my older cars that change more frequently & Fram Tough guard on newer cars that run synthetic filter good up to 10k mi usually change 5-7k.

[TruthSword]

In this Video Scotty specifically claims that Premium Guard is a couple dollars cheaper than Purolator One (Which he showed). I can tell you that on Amazon right now that is far from the case, with Premium Guard being nearly double the price!

AC Delco filters used to be very good until they were changed to the cheap "e-core" type. Now I've switched to the NAPA Gold filters I believe are made by Wix. Hope I've done good by my old cars.

[ryane.]

AC delco oil filters are not bad, they're just not designed for extended oci. You could easily get 7500 miles out of one. Personally I use an oem filter or Mobil 1 ep filter for extended oci. Always refer to your owners manual.Great vid Scotty!

[brianandrews]

I've used the cheap ones and I have used the expensive ones, always changed the oil every 3k and never had any problems that could be directly traced back to quality of materials used in an oil change. I guess if it makes you feel better to spend more, go for it. I still say that cheap oil change done regularly is way, way better than no oil changes at all (which seems to be they way a lot of people operate).

I use the Bosch Premium on my 18 Harley 1200. And Valvoline Syn 20/50 motorcycle oil.  My 16 Tucson gets Pennzoil Platinum 5/20 and Bosch Distance Plus filters. Which gets changed (Tires rotated as well) every 5k Miles.

While my Vette has it's PT warranty (5yr/100Kmi), I'm using the a/c Delco filters. They're actually supposed to be pretty good. I'll probably switch to the Amsoil (as I use their oil, too) filter. It's well made and is supposed to filter down to about 10µm. I've used them before with the oil and the insides of my engines were spotless...Even after 150Kmiles....

[fishman]

good stuff. i use the Amsoil Nano fiber filters. so far so good

[fecklarjenkins]

I like Bosch myself they are well built
