Oil Filter Q's

I've read several threads on oil but haven't found much info on what filter is considered the best to use. Is there a preference for which filter to use when running extended drain intervals?

If possible find M1-211 by Mobil 1 and it has synthetic fibers for better filtering then papaer filters, I am not sure but I think AMSOIL has a synthetic fiber filter. If not using a synthetic filter, then I would stick with OEM. Your extended oil change range will depend on what conditions you are driving under and oil used, but if it is basically just street/highway driving and a high quality synthetic oil designed for diesels then there is no real reason not to go the full 12,500 miles. I will be doing 10,000 mile oil changes just for ease of remembering when it's due.

ON (OldNavy) you are as bad as I am about remembering when to do something. Amsoil just came out with a new nanofiber filter. You can read about it here[url]https://www.amsoil.com/storefront/eao.aspx[url]. I just ordered it along with the Euro 5-40 oil that I will change on Thusday if it is delivered on Wed. I am hoping the 5-40 oil slows down the CCV problem until ON's filter is available. Also the Wally World high quality filter has got great reviews on some of the independent oil filter tests.[/url]

That is what im using now, the Euro 5W/40 with the Ea34 filter, I have only got about 900 miles or so on it, but seems to have quieted the engine a tad. I like it so far.

I was talking with Greg at Lubespecialist about using those filters, and will probably start using those after using the one Mobil 1 oil filter I have left.

As far as I was ever able to find out, nothing in the line of oil brand or type made any real difference in amount of oil being sucked into intake by CCV.
