What brand oil filter do you use/recommend? I'm tired of paying $10+ at stealership on one filter.

Default In 100k miles you'll buy 20 filters.. is that really a lot of money to spend?

Order online ECS, etc.

Default i use the k&n filters there about 12 buks. but have the correct valve in them and also are top

notch in there abilty to filter. i read a big deal in sport compact car where they did an oil filter shot out and the k&n was almost 2 times better than all the other off the shelf filters. plus it has a nice 1" nut on the end of it so its super easy to get on and off no smashing a filter wrench in that tight spot any more!..... one place i dont try to save money is on my oil or filter....... its nice to order stuff off the net but between shiping fee's and wiating for them and all the other drama involved in geting things off the web its nice to pick up a filter when i need it any time on my way to get beer!
