OIL and FILTER

I change my own oil. Currently using 5w30 Mobil 1 Super Synthetic. I am using the OEM oil filter. They say the Mobile 1 is a good filter. Does it make a difference.? I change my oil about every 5-6 weeks.

Thanx

OEM filter is great... and only $4 with coupons. Change your oil at 3750 or 5000 intervals is more than sufficient (esp with synthetic oil).

You will only know how "dirty" your oil is by having it analyzed.

Using the 9E000 OEM oil filter is sufficient given your oil interval use.
