So whats the difference between this and a $3.25 oil filter?
Do these manufacturers just slap "performance" in front of their product to charge 500% more?

Yes

Pretty much, best for the money will be wix or Purolator filters.
Napa gold filters are just repacked wix filters

No. You fucking idiot.
Open up an FRAM filter and you will literally see cardboard in it.
Mobil 1, K&N, Purolator and probably WIX use better quality filter material media and also have drain-back/bypass valves to help aid against dry starts.
I run mobil myself. I think supposedly purolator is the best though.

Well what material is inside your filter and how much better is it than cardboard?

>how much better is it than cardboard?
Were you dropped on the head as a child?
i had a fram filter disintegrate and nearly destroy an engine
i try to get oem now or k&n now
I got k&n because it was on sale but I will buy more because it has the hex at the end for easy removal and I hate using the oil filter tools
>>15084168
Never buy the cheapest, buy the 2nd cheapest
>ITT
>people actually think purolater is a good filter
>fucking cheap Ass 2.89$ piece of shit Walmart filters.
I'd rather have a fram

You're a fucking shill dude.
Yes Wal-mart actually carries a great filter at a great price.
You'd have to be a literally fucking retard to prefer fram over purolator
>>15084168
These were the only ones with the nut at the end so I bought one with no ragrets.
>>15084168
>no cardboard filter
>actual strainer design that doesn't degrade with heat
just buy wix. mobil1, k&n, avoid fram.

My Walmart stopped carrying Purolator so now I order filters in bulk from Rockauto. Still use Super-Tech oil though.

Best you can do is a washable stainless filter. I use them on all my bikes and they filter down to 30 microns which is more efficient than paper media and flows much better than paper

I had an oem one put on my engine and it got clogged up and blew the engine. Engine was only 100k.
But op, use whatever. People claim the cardboard is awful but I've used fram four years and never had an issue

Yes. If you change your oil frequently and you're not using some really unknown brand of oil filter, you should be good to go. The brands I'd recommend: Wix, Denso (love Denso parts), STP, Mobil1, Beck/Arnley, K&N. Brands that are ok so long as you don't use the filters too long: FRAM, Bosch.
