No better feeling when all yard work is done than you get to sit down and drink cold beer 🍺

I thought that an oil change was always w/ the filter mandatory. And won't change my mind lol.

Motorcraft OE filter. Got it! Thank you!! (With my husband battling stage 4 cancer and son-in-law deployed, this old lady is now in charge of our vehicle maintenance.) You help me SO MUCH! You are very appreciated!!!

Great video! I change my oil every 6 months or 5k miles. I never gone more than 5k. I do my own maintenance and repairs. It’s hard to find someone trustworthy these days.

Just change the oil, full synthetic and filter at 5k It's a lot cheaper than buying an engine

As cheap as oil is and if you have the ability to do it yourself, it’s beyond me why anyone would go past 3 to 5,000 miles. Just my opinion, especially these turbo engines.

Oil filters need to be changed every time you cange the oil

The Oil flow is the same regardless of the filter used in positive displacement pumps which is most vehicles. The biggest restriction on oil flow is the engine itself even the most restrictive automotive filter is able to flow well above the engines needs. The only time the oil flow would decrease is if the oil pump itself went into bypass. Which can only happen with a completely clogged filter with an undersized bypass valve. Using a high mileage filter with a high efficiency say like a 20k miles fram ultra or 25k fram endurance would actually get rid of 99% to 90% or more of particles 20nm or smaller in size to about 5nm. Which studies have shown are the particles that cause the most wear in engines. So getting rid of most of them especially in GDI engines is a good thing. I am not saying run that filter and oil that many miles but it doesn't hurt and can only help to use such filters. So use those filters and go ahead and change it every 5k miles

I would like to see a flow rate comparison from an independent like Project Farm before believing that these high mileage filters are too restrictive. Most of them do have more filter material and that should compensate for any excess flow resistance in my mind. Not disagreeing with You at all, I’d just like to see some actual test results. And just for the record, I never go high mileage on oil maintenance quite the opposite for me, but I do like good filters.

Keeping my 2008 Ram until it can't be repired anymore.. 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻

I just run a regular wix .. on the 2.5 Subaru naturally aspirated with synthetic oil every 4K miles. I picked up 6 filters and most of them have bits of silicon pieces on the top of the filter that are from when the filter was made.. look at your filters before installing.

As a former auto mechanic I run full synthetic in my cars with the factory oil filters my wife's car has 45k miles and my car has 15k miles

Appreciate you Rich.Good channel here and keep preachin that knowledge bro.Lucky to have a good shop near me here in Delaware.I follow the industry and can't believe some of the "SHIT"coming out of the factory now from all the brands.Now stellantis don't want to keep fixing BS products so now they want to void the warranty for BS reasons or give you some money to go away.Stellantis came in and thought 🤔if we keep selling these trucks for 70,80,90 grand we pocket some cash and now they be like WTF.I have been a Ram owner for a long time and have had great things to say.Now,not so much.The other brands are guilty as well.The industry is a mess.Poor build quality and high prices are going to be a mess to deal with.Hopefully good for the consumer.

I’ve been using the Motorcraft FL820s on My 2010 Grand Marquis and the Valvoline extended Protection 5w20 after watching your oil analysis, change it every 5000

My old Kubota tractor gets motorcraft oil filters. I already have them for my work vans figured I couldn't go wrong.

Very interesting update. Thank you. Next oil change I will switch back.

I’ve always run the K&N Performance oil filter, and have confidence in the product. Never had any type of issue, running them along with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum definitely gives me peace of mind. Thanks again for sharing your valuable experience, and knowledge Rich, take care! Cheers!

Great info very relevant. These kind of videos help out sooooo much thank you.

Thank you man. Appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge

I only use Purolator Boss. They have both great filtering and high flow. Which is almost impossible, but they are doing it somehow.

Happy Sunday Rich. You look very happy

The pool area is looking fantastic.👏🏾

I picked up some purolator tech oil filters. They are same as the red ones just tech for shops. $2.39 each. Can’t beat that

No cicadas in East central Iowa. Have yet to hear them at all here

I like *Baldwin* filters.

It will be exactly 6 months tomorrow since I last changed my oil. I’ve been using the Fram ultra synthetic XG 3614, along with Valvoline 5W 30 high mileage full synthetic oil. I’ve got just under 4200 miles on the oil and filter, and it still looks fantastic, almost like new. I will be changing it in another one to two weeks, once I get closer to 5000 miles. I drive a 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4.0 L V6 with 151,000 miles on it. I’ve had it for 17 years now, hoping to make it to 20. Still runs great! 👍

My 2018 Silverado with a 5.3 and 50k miles doesn’t like Fram Ultra. Oil pressure really low compared to other filters. You got this spot on.

I've been running Mann filters since they moved production to the USA. The drainback feature is unique.

3k oil changes and OEM filter on my 09 Prius always. Glad I found your channel

Hell yeah Rich you doing it , Yard work is not fun but once you finish and start enjoying the yard it’s definitely worth it

You got me! I have very minor valve train/timing chain ticking on my Ford Explorer 4.6l since switching to the Fram XG2. Just ordered a 2 pack of FL820S from Amazon and will do an early oil change when they get here...

This is some good information to know about Richard!

Glad I got to see this Video before swapping in a Fram XG9018 (That I got after the good value/reviews on this channel. Never appreciated the "twisting" on so many straight pleated cartridge filters. Some are lighter/weaker then others but even the OEM does it too... Was hoping the reinforced design would help reduce any tearing/shrinkage the "twist" might increase) for my 2014 GMC Terrain with the 2.4L Ecotec. It has always gotten Oil Changes well under the GM manual's 12 month Interval. OLM has been 6-8K miles... I did an 8 month/3,000 mile change in February 2024 and the UOA from Blackstone had a Fuel Dilution of 5%... The TBN, flashpoint, Viscosity all pointed to it was time to change (wear metals were OK, but Fuel Dilution was/is probably hiding things). Since my 2003 Saturn ION also uses the same Filter I might just use it on that one first. Since I was going to maintain Shorter 3,000 mile intervals on both vehicles anyway... I'll continue to use the Regular AC Delco Filters (20 years of Blackstone testing for the 2003 has shown the Filters/Oil easily survives the 6 months/6k miles...). Was/Am going to be trying Valvoline Restore and Protect (first on the ION, then the Terrain, even though R&P isn't Dexos Rated... The shorter 3K interval, and being out of Warranty I don't think it'll be a problem) The advantage of the Cartridge Filters for me has been that I can just "drop in" new as needed. With R&P I might just use "fresh" filters halfway thru the Interval to monitor progress...

Wanted to tell ya, I used to use 0W 20, but now use 5W 30. I also used Super tech and now have switched to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum or High Milage full synthetic. I also don't go 5000 miles anymore. I change between 3500 and 4000 miles. I go with with either Purolator one or OEM Denzo filter. I appreciate your knowledge 😊

Filters are cheap; engines are not.

I agree with you about not using these extreme high mileage oil filters because we still should be changing the oil every 5k or so. However, there might be one situation where a high mileage filter might be suitable: where the oil filter is in an extremely difficult place to reach and change out. That might be a case where you could use a 15k mile filter, but with the proviso that you change the oil at least every 5k miles. Some people with cars like that will delay changing the oil because they hate to F with the oil filter so much. But if all they had to do was drop the oil, they might be more inclined to do it than was the case before. But yes, eventually you will have to change that filter as well after the second or third oil change.

Oil & filters are cheap, change filter with every oil change . I’ve been repairing vehicles a long time.

Been saying this for awhile now had terrible experience from that exact filter. Saying hello from central IN.

I believe the Ultra filter they tested on the brand ranks video is the newer style media that restricts flow. There was/is a post on bitog that tests several of the same filters when the Ultra used the full synthetic material. The flow through it was quite good as was the filtering capability. From reading the background & testing procedures of that person I would put that person's lab testing above that of Brand Ranks. But again that was using an all synthetic filtering material. I think the Endurance filter now uses the same material the old Ultra once did. I could be wrong.

Good point, more filtration does also mean less flow. I don't feel bad now sticking with OEM filters changing it every 5000 miles. On my GM I run the ACDelco Gold (Professional), that's not high mileage one right? The corvette guys praise those filters so that's why I've been running them.

As always good stuff. Stay Blessed!

I tried using the Fram extended life oil filter on my 2017 Toyota Camry 2.5 and noticed that VVTI system wasn't happy with cold start. Once I switched back to the OEM Toyota filter the VVTI system was much quieter than the Fram Ultra. However, they worked great on the '07 Town Car. I use the factory Motorcraft oil filter on my son's 2015 Ford Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost. I have found it better to run OEM filters and a good oil like Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.

Need to get back to basics and put oil pressure gage on full time. And I would like a oil bypass valve sensor.

Ohh , your backyard is looking great ! 🍺👀🍺

It's kinda crazy how you make a video on this topic when I've been asking myself if I should be running an extended mile filter on my 08 crown vic P71. I use to run the FL820 with motor craft synthetic blend when i first bought it back in 2018. Shortly after, I was running mobil 1 synthetic oil with the mobil1 filter but ever since i came across your channel of you opening filters, I will say cause of you, I switched over to Fram ultra synthetic. I was always nervous of running a fram on my car but you opened up my eyes. For a cheaper filter than the mobil1 with much better filtration than the mobil1 or motor craft 820, it was a no brainer to run the ultra synthetic. Fast forward to this past month, I've been having these thoughts, like should I really be running an extended mile filter vs just running a basic OE filter. I've even thought about using the same filter every 2 oil changes since it extended but does it make sense when I could just buy a cheaper OE basic filter but have a new filter on each time. 2 weeks ago, went to walmart to buy some oil for an oil change and was standing in front of the filters for like 20 minutes going back and forth on should I get the ultra synthetic or the tough guard or try the new endurance or even try the super tech. I decided to try the endurance but as soon as I turned the aisle, there was a clearance rack with a whole bunch of filters and automotive stuff. Had a bunch of KN filter and other filters. One thing that caught my eye was there were 2 supertech MP2 20k filters(blue filters) which I saw. I've always wanted to try those cause I personally think for the price and build they were decent filters. Not sure why they were on the clearance rack but I snagged both of them and put back the endurance. Unfortunately you can't get the blue version MP2 filter unless you order online. They only carry the ST2 white filters in store, at least in my area. I got them for $5.97 each, which is weird cause that's the price they were even online so not sure if I got a deal on them. I did recently check online and they're going for $11 and some change for the blue supertech MP2 filters in my size, which is crazy cause at that price, I'd rather stick with an Fram ultra or another brand. I wouldnt mind running the motor craft 820 but they're like $9 at Walmart and they use to be under $4. I've seen them on amazon for different prices but I just dont want it to be a knock of brand. Overall, I think I'm going to run a lower grade basic filter or even a mid grade filter so I dont have issues with oil flow or cost. Sorry for the long rant

It's been my experience that most filters are made by the same company. Wix,napa, Purolator I'm pretty sure are made by the same company.

Great video rich, so would those high mileage filters possibly hit bypass before their rated mileage? Seems like they would if its a dirty running engine.

Thank you for sharing.

You can add the Hemi 5.7 and 6.4 to this list, lol.

My wife's equinox we have changed the oil every 3-4k miles which is about 150 hours. I have always used the oem filter and Valvoline or pennzoil platinum. Doesn't use very much oil like 1/4 a quarter every 3k miles. It has 69k on it. Probably one of the best running 2.4 eco tec motors since we found that Infrequent oil changes is what causes every problem on those engines.

The yard is looking good Rich

If you got to "Brand Ranks" they test a lot of oil filters and they test the flow rate on cold and hot oil as well as their filtering ability.

I always appreciate your honesty and integrity on information sharing Rich. I never go past 3500 miles on oil and filter change, I just use a quality synthetic oil and filter I never buy extended mileage on either one. I’m not going to say which ones I use I don’t want to start a war on your channel. Take care brother.

09' Jeep wrangler with 112k miles on it currently. Wix XP, Purolator boss, Fram Endurance, and Fram Ultra for me. I use the extended length for more filtering media. 1 year or 5-8k miles with Liqui Moly or Shell Rotella T6 5w40 with MoS2 addictive. So far pretty good.

Good thinking

Thank you!

No matter what vehicle or filter i change the filter every 5k with the oil. I almost always use the motorcraft, they're usually in stock everywhere

I recently did a change with 5W-20 supertech '20,000' mile synthetic oil. Used Mobil 1 oil filter. For a 2021 Ford EcoSport 2.0 liter. Seems to run smooth. It had a motorcraft filter that would not wanna come off. I fought that filter hard. I know the Fram Ultra Synthetic filters have less flow, for sure. From experience with them! Engine in a 2.4 HHR ticked badly with those. A basic filter flowed fine. No tick.

Love your content

Oil filters seem to be a choice between less filtering capability and higher flow vs. better filtering and lower flow. Do you put any importance on filter media type (synthetic, syn. blend, cellulose) for 5k oil changes?

i agree with this,i use oem on my ford truck and i did use a 20000 mile super tech filter on my wifes rav 4 and experience upper cam phaser noise on start up i know thats kinda of a norm for thoes motors so i went to a toyota filter which is a canister filter i would say im not totally impressed with it it seems low quality but it did let oil up faster and did quitend it down to a minimum and i do my own oil change around 4 to 4500 miles with vavoline advance full synsynthtic i think the high millage filters do starve the motors on start up for sure some what

The tiny filters on the Hemi’s coupled with extended oil changes are killing those engines!!

Very Interesting. I get the Oil and Oil Filter changed in my car every 10,000 Kilometres / 6 months. Been using K&N and REPCO oil filters. K&N oil filters get a " Negative " review that its only good for Performance Driving as the filter doesn't capture any contaminants it only filters oil quicker. Love K&N oil filters, very solid.

Let’s just not and say we did. Change the damn filter they are so cheap

Sounds like a good way to think about it. In a little different vein, do you have a suggested oil for 01 f350 differential oil?

Don't forget the 2014 Chevy Impala with the 3.6 LFX engine. My car has 128,000 miles. I change the oil every 5K miles, which has the original timing chain.👀

I change my oil every 2,000 to 3,000 miles and change my ACDelco filter every other time. Costco Kirkland full synthetic $32 for 10 quarts when on sale ($39 originally), and RockAuto 12-pack ACDelco filters for $3.50 each. Simple as!

I thought the Fram Endurance filters had slightly lower efficiency to allow more flow as engine oil began to get dirty?

What do you think about the Baxter top mount filter system for the Jeeps? I know you are a Ford Boss, just a question since the 3.6l has oiling issues

How about a 13 Edge 3.5? new water pump, timing chain, guides, tensioners, and oil pump. All Motorcraft.. is it okay to run, a Wix XP or Purolator boss? I typically change my oil and filter every 6,000 MI... Also what do you think about switching to 5W30? I have about 120k, water pump was done out of preventive maintenance.

My 2017 Grand Cherokee 5.7 coming close to 100k miles. I’ll be doing my own oil changes. O’Reilly Full Synthetic or Pennzoil Platinum? Which would you recommend?

Just change your oil and fulter every 3500 miles

I have a 2013 ford f150 with the v6 ecoboost it sounds terrible on start-up any recommendations for a dry start.

So you are saying they are too restrictive, even if they are changed every 5k miles? The cost is not an issue with me, as i run either RP or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my vehicles (on your research and recommendations) 👍 Thanks.

I'm the second owner of a 2016 F150 with a 5.0. I have documented oil changes from the Ford dealer every 5K. I purchased it with 110,000 miles and will change my oil every 3K or six months using Valvoline 5W-30 High Mileage MaxLife Full Synthetic. I planned to use Purolator Boss filters because I purchased three on sale at Walmart. Should I keep them on the shelf and return to Motorcraft filters or use them until they're gone?

I have a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis with 136,992 miles and the 4.6 Liter 2 valve engine. I use Mobil-1 Extended Performance High Mileage 5w-20 motor oil. I use the mobil-1 extended performance oil filter. I change my oil every 4,000 miles anyway, but I only see the mobil 1 extended performance oil filters in stores, so that's what i use because i know that mobil 1 is a good brand. What do you have to say about these particular filters?

Do you prefer prefilling the oil filter when putting a new one on?🤔🤔

Also are supertech oil filters good to run?

Yeah I don't care when I change the oil the filter getting changed to its not worth it putting nice clean oil then going run it through a dirty filter??? Wife has a 2016 jeep cherokee trailhawk I do all the maintenance myself ...best filter I've found is the good ole Purolator One it's like 99.9% or something and it's really seeming to like the Vavoline extended oil it runs smooth and quiter and as of now on the oil indicator it's showing 6k since last oil change with still 40% oil life left I usually change it at 6k mark but I want to see just how far the indicator would go before it says it's due ...Pennzoil Platinum would go till 7k mark before it would say it was due so it's looking like this Vavoline extended is out performing the PP

Wix /fram extra guard and Valvoline blend max life 5-30 every 5k I use for my 5.4.3v

I cut open my oil filters after an oil change. I'll continue to use PureOne, Boss, Microguard Select, STP XL filters.

I was expecting a cicada issue here in Georgia. But honestly I don't think I've heard a single one yet this year.

Thx u!

In one of those Brand Ranks videos, the Boss and Wix XP had the top ranked cold and hot oil flow. Would they be ok to run on one of the GM AFM engines?

It’s not worth the risk imho. I change the filters every oil change at 5k miles. I noticed that my tinnitus in my left ear drowns out the cicadas

While this is informative it's also a kick in the pants for me, just bought 3 Purolator Boss filters and I drive a 08 F150 with 280,000 😂😂😂😂😂 So just stick with the ol 820s?

I have a question off topic-why are the 2010 ford fusion are not in the recall for the steering rack but the 2011-2012 are involved in that recall for the steering rack?

I just run royal purple for around 5k. then put in bulk 5w30 valvoline. drive it for a week or month. fill with rp again. Change my oil filter every 6 months or 8-10k 80% highway driving. I use purolator boss filters on my 4.6. i dont like using our acdelco filters quality has gone down alot. I cut open every oil filter out of my car everytime. hardly any dirt or damage to be talked about :3

I know Subaru has a bypass of 23 psi, I use a mobile 1 with 12-13 psi, will I have any issues?

Cicadas…I thought you were watering!

I thought the Purolator boss not only filters better but flows better as well.

A 5 mic full flow primary ? maybe I'm showing my age but that seems a bit tight . aint nothing wrong with a 2 mic bypass though .

I use the ultra Fram and I have a 2013 Honda CRV, which has that timing gear actuator rattle problem, I had a new one put on already. Do you think it’s a bad idea I change my filter, every 4000 miles with the oil I know you could do 20,000 but I would never ever .even my Honda synthetic oil I stopped using that I use the Valvoline restore now,anyway you know more than me so I hope I’m not hurting my engine 2013 Honda CRV 2.4 naturally aspirated.

Ive got a 19 3.5 ecoboost in a f150 that i run signiture series Amsoil in..amsoil or wix filter only. Oil gets changed at 5,000 miles..

Thoughts on purolator boss series?

Well damn, boss, I went out and purchased 2 Fram Ultras and some Valvoline High Mileage for my 2013 F150 Coyote with 113 K on your recommendation, and now you're changing things up on me......and others. I have no intention of going past 5K OCI anyway. So I go with Motorcraft here on out is what you're saying?

So buying the high mileage filter isn't the best option even when changing earlier? I've been buying the expensive Fram and then changing at like 3k or 4k on my 05 tahoe

What’s up with FORDS new commercial that says Gas, Hybrid, & Power? No mention of Diesel….

Just out of curiosity, what do you know about *2018 BMW Xi3 series* that uses a specific BMW synthetic oil & filter, that is ONLY required to be changed every 15K MILES or 1x per year (whichever comes first) Yes, they're inherently more expensive up front at first, but it evens out cost wise, by ONLY having to change the oil & filters *one time* every 15K MILES vs ever 5k MILES 3 times per year?!?

Hey, Ford Boss. 🙂
