what kinda oil did u use? I just recently started doing on own oil and i switched from regular to synthetic for the first time. WOW! what a difference car seems to have a lot more power and runs smooth as a motha!
I used mobil 1 5W-30 with a FRAM TP-7317 filter.
Oh yeah i was wondering if the mobil 1 filters are any better then FRAM or BOSH? is there a comparasion anywhere?

I use 10w-30 Mobile One synthetic Oil, It is Summer time and the weather is wormer then winter. In winter time I go back to 5W-30.

I find that the NAPA Silver oil filters are a good replacement because they have the diaphragm that holds a small amount of oil in them so that the engine oil system gets a "head start" when starting the engine. I use this combined with Valvoline Dura-Blend 10W-40 oil.

Their expensive filters have the same filtering media as the cheap ones. The only difference is the outer casing which eludes you to believe your getting a superior filter.

You might be expert in Oil filters. but most Turbo cars that do 10-6 sec in 1/4 mile use the K&N oil filter. I don't have turbo in my car. When I went to English town, in June I spoke to couple of PRo racing team and they all said Use K&N oil filter even for regular driving they are really good. I don't know you might be right about the oil filters... but I kind of go with the Pro racing Team, which running a 7 sec car.
