I was having problems with leaky oil filters on my dual remote setup. I have tried Purolator, Mopar, Fram and System1 but they all seemed to leak a little bit. I just bought 2 Napa Gold #1773 and no leaks at all. I highly recommend Napa/Wix filters. They are all that I will ever buy.
Ask me my opinion of Frank Mitchell....... A Mopar crook!

I forgot to mention that the 1773 filters are about an inch or so longer than the standard 1515 filters. They take a quart of oil to fill them before installing.

You must NEVER drive off the IDEAL driving conditions. I don't drive in near ideal conditions, Hot summers, cold (no freezing) freezing winters and everything in between, dusty gravel roads to prairie field roads. Hell I can still change oil and filter 4 times for 65 bucks and know I have good clean oil oil not some manufactured substitute. To each their own. That is why there are so many companies.

$30.00 min you spend on an oil change
BS. I don't hire somebody to do it for me. I can still buy my oil and filters for well under 15 bucks a time.

I don't know, all the new BMW cars are running synthetics with a 12,000 mile change interval. It must be OK at least on a brand new engine with minimal blow by. Having said that I still feel more comfortable changing my dinosaur oil every 5000 miles
BMW's SIA system ran off of driving habits, engine rpm, temperature, and fuel consumption to calculate its oil change intervals. The clock starts at 15,525 (off the top of my head i think thats what it is). From there depending on the items above it calculates the oils remaning life in it. In a perfect world you would get 15k out of your Mobil1. However also consider those engines run atleast 7 quarts of oil and do run very efficiently. So at 5,000 you're safe, but just for most that say 'German cars do it with that oil, my car can'...it depends on the cars driving conditions, varies car to car.
I run Mobil1 15w-50 in my Barracuda and Mobil1 5w-20 in my Ranger. Can be had for 'cheap' at wal-mart in 5qt jugs for ~$22. Figure I run 8,000 miles intervals with it in my truck (Cuda varies), it's more cost effective than regular engine oils.

ok lets say $3 dollars a qrt times 5 and then another $8 for the filter , what does that come out to , $23 , thats if all you need is 5 qrts my truck uses 7 qrts. so tell me you can do it for under $15 ,
Bought a 5qt jug of Valvoline at Wal-mart tonight for $12 and a fram for the Pilot for $4, that's only $16 now tax would put me over but nothing was on sale. Mopar, Ford and AC Delco filters all under $5 and you can catch the 5qt Valvoline jugs for under $10 many times. Use good oil and change it regularly and you will never have an oil failure.
AMEN
