Which brand of OIL FILTER do u use?
Hey guys,
I really didn't think that OIL FILTERS brands and quality were much different from each other so I just bought about 6 oil filters of PREMIUM GUARD brand from e-Bay for pretty cheap.
Then I bumped into this friend of mine who owns a g35 and after some Infiniti talk I said about my cheap oil filter purchase and he's like WHOA DUDE why the f**k would you buy a cheap crap like that? It's BAD for your engine maan!
So, now I'm confused
Plz help
Is premium guard brand that bad? I checked about it on usaparts or partsusa or something it was a car part selling website and it turns out that premium guard IS the cheapest of them all

You will get tons of conflicting and some outright wrong information. There's already a huge thread on this. Simple answer, yes oil filtration is important. If you change it more frequently, it's less of an issue. There's also a lot of conflicting information on what is good and what is crap. The best answer I can give it to choose a reputable, known brand and you'll be fine.
Personally I use Wix (NAPA Gold are the same filters rebranded) and I have had excellent success even on very high mileage cars (250K+ miles) and long OCI (up to 9700 miles) on Nissan vehicles. YMMV.

Purolator PureOne filter with Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30. Look at it this way: you change it so little, how much difference does it make if it costs you 10.00 extra each oil change to get good stuff.
Even my 10 yr old TL with 100K+ miles on it gets good oil and filters. Take care of your car and it will take care of you.

Make sure they are the Fram Ultra filters. Or the Purolator Pure One, or the Mobil1, or the Bosch premium. There are lots of good choices out there from well known brands and like you said, not too expensive to fix the problem BEFORE they are put on the car.
