Bout time for an oil change, what filters are recommended? I know fram makes garbage filters and I'd like to stay with better brands.
Purolator or Wix
>>15656322
Mobil 1 or full synthetic Castrol or penzoil
Oem filter
Purolator, Wix, or Bosch.
>>15656322
OEM. Always
>>15656322
VW cant design a fucking single part of a vehicle well
i could immediately tell its a VW too because of that hideous gauges
Fram Ultra is a good filter
Bobistheoilguy.com is a good resource on this.
>>15656455
Its a hyundai
>>15656455
Here's proof
>>15656454
This. I get OEM filters for $6 a pop from dealer. And they're like $4 if I get through Toyota instead of Lexus. Would only go with aftermarket if I was running boost
>>15656581
Fram will be just fine then.
>>15657138
Fram is a shity filter.
>>15656322
Wix is GOAT, made in USA, and it uses premium quality materials. Bosch is also great, so is mobil1 higher end filters.
Folgers
Motorcraft filter and oil
>>15657233
This. Wix filters are dope senpai.
>>15657222
Exactly, you drive a hyundai
>>15657222
Yeah, and it's a shitty car. You don't seem to realize that there is literally no difference that putting a high quality filter will make for a totally stock, non-performance commuting vehicle vs a cheap one.
dont take pictures while youre driving, i dont care that bad about how many miles you have
stp
>all these idiots paying a premium for "racing air filters"
I bet you have a gaming mouse, gaming mouse pad, gaming keyboard, gaming glasses, and a duel disk as well
>>15657577
This is probably true. But I would still spend a few more dollars for a decent filter just so you don't worry about parts of it detaching and getting in the engine. The cheap frams are 100% cardboard and glue. They're probably well engineered, but they're still cheap as fuck.
>>15657584
> STP
Hahaha Shigy Diggy Doo
Also
> Paying a premium
> STP filter
$3-$6
> Purolator
Much higher quality than STP and can be had for around $3 at walmart.
If you're going to go cheap atleast go good cheap
>>15657605
Eh, it's your money, do with it what you will. I've heard Royal Purple is also p good. I personally use Fram because it's completely adequate for my car's performance level, and at this point, there's no reason for me to spend more than I have to. Good thing about cardboard is at least it's pretty combustible.
>>15657566
>>15657577
At least I take pride in taking care of my car. Whether it's the Mercedes in the garage or the Hyundai in the driveway.
>>15656455
Bet you feel pretty stupid now huh faggot
>>15658239
I could tell that was a VW instrument cluster because it uses that same fucking typeface VW always uses.
>>15658248
Except it isn't you stupid fuck
>>15658248
Why are you so fucking stupid?
>>15658266
To be fair, that looks like a passat cluster.
>>15658605
No it doesn't.
1) VWs have the tachometer on the left
2) VWs have the fuel door on the right
Dead giveaways.
>>15658672
Both of those happen in that picture. The original (mine) was not was I was talking about.
>>15658873
In that case you were close, it's a jetta
>>15658914
Must be 2010+
>>15658969
Nope. 2001
>>15658977
Why am I so bad.
>>15657577
Speak the truth
>>15660797
So because I drive a car that isn't racetrack only I should run shit filters, shit tires, shit gas, shit coolant, shit transmission fluid? Sounds like you benchracers either ride the bus or won't see 20,000mi on a new car due to neglect.
>>15658239
>>15658969
Is that your Jetta?
What's up with that 'Fasten Seat belt'? I'm driving an '03 2L and I don't have a panel there.
>>15662999
Meant for >>15658977
>>15657577
Why not just bypass the filter anon? Then you save money not having to change it.
>>15663020
>.>
>>15662999
Different trim maybe?
OEM, Wix, or Purolator
>>15656322
Get yourself Purolator Boss
>>15656322
Purolator, Wix(Napa Gold ), or Bosch
>>15656454
Oem is meme
Its just rebranded *insert manufacture here* parts.
>>15658977
The fuck? My 01 Wolfsburg doesn't have that fasten seatbelt thing
>>15656759
Filters were on sale at my walmart today.
Picked up a few bosch filters for $5 each.
They also had a bunch of frams for only $1.
>>15656322
Current Purolator oil filters have problems with blow through holes appearing in their metal can filters. People have been taking them apart and checking and noticed holes.
The company has been largely unresponsive and uncommunicative about the problem.
Made in China stronk.
>>15656456
>Fram Ultra is a good filter
>Bobistheoilguy.com is a good resource on this.
FRAM is made in the usa by the original american company.
It's not a "Made In China" type filter.
>>15657233
>Wix is made in China
WIX filters are actually made in various places as listed at their website. They have offices or factories in the USA, Mexico, Venezuela, Poland, Brazil, and CHINA. Various Wix oil filters are made in CHINA while others might be from the USA or Mexico as noted by people who do their own oil changes.

>>15663665
GLX trim gets the trip computer I believe.
>>15663810
>a bunch of frams for only $1.
Fran has a rebate going on, $4 for two filters. You could make money and not even use the filters.
What makes wix different from the other good oil filter brands?
>>15667185
google will tell you
or someone will spoonfeed you
