Which Oil Filter? I was wondering which filter to use cause I heard that they can burst if oil pressure and volume gets to high. I have a high volume pump and want a filter that wont burt on start up cause the oil pressure gauge gets pretty high.
Fram PN is PH30. I don't even use Fram but I use it as a crossover cuz they're easy to remember. Wix's website has a cross reference guide. Just as a side note, the Mobil 1 filters you get at Autozone are extra long for a little extra capacity.

Verdad Gallardo I glanced at that really quickly and it made me think of something. It mentioned Champion Labs as the mfg. for Mobil 1 filters. Champion Labs also makes Supertech (Wal-Mart) filters. They're $2.07 at my Wal-Mart and I used them on my pickup! I've never cut one open but I actually haven't read a bad thing yet about them. I personally use the Mobil 1 on my T/A but might try the Ea filter from Amsoil since I use Amsoil products for the Jetta to kinda streamline my oil purchasing.

I should've put this here. I use the tall Wix filter. The exact same Wix filter is found in the Car Quest brand. I've cut filters open myself and this is my choice. Even the K&N didn't look so good inside. Another filter I would use is Hastings.

K&N since ive bought the car! wix filters are also good, along w/ the napa gold filters. www.bobistheoilguy.com there is alot of information on that site. he has proven lucas oil stabilizer to be a waste of money along w/ some other products. they also have alot of threads of which oil filters are the best. alot of discussion is on that board.
