All this talk recently about oil filters has helped to remind me it's
time to change my oil in my Integra.
I usually use Castrol Syntec and a K&N oil filter. My local store
stops carrying K&N, so what's left? You guessed it, FRAM. Because of
all the bad talk about FRAM, I start looking at the filter more closely
and notice there are small signs of rust on the filter lip.
No way am I gonna put that on my car. Then I notice this this other
filter, FRAM X2(http://www.framx2.com/) oil filter sealed air tight in
a can.
Does anybody have any experience with this filter or can suggest
another filter in the 10 dollars range? I'm also looking at AMSOIL,
but the FRAM X2 is readily available.
