On this forum, the general consensus is to spend a few extra dollars at every oil change for a good quality oil filter. The argument is that one is spending a few extra dollars for peace of mind, which can amount to $100 or more over the course of a vehicle's ownership.
Aside from having the peace of mind that you are feeding your car "good" filters, realistically, will I actually notice a tangible benefit from using better filters? By referring to better, I'm referring to using a Wix or PureOne filter instead of a SuperTech or Purolator Premium Plus for a 7500 mi drain.
$100 (or more) is a hefty sum over 150k + miles, and I'd much rather spend it on other items if I will not notice a benefit from using the better filters.
