Hello all,
Today I found myself at my local advanced auto parts picking up an oil filter for my saturn sl1 1999, when reaching for my beloved pureone oil filter I started to over think my choic(as we often do). I wondered if I was paying 7 dollars for a oil filter that I don't really need, when I can get a motorcraft or purolator classic for less than half the cost.
Is there any real benefit of a pureone besides a little better effiency in a strict 3000 mile OCI? I know it has a better anti drain back valve than a classic but on average I change my oil every two months , and I believe a silicone anti drain back is only better in extended fills(correct me if I'm wrong)
If you feel that a motorcraft/purolator classic is a better/more economical choice in my situation please recommend one and why.(motorcraft= better anti drain back vs purolator classic = more effiecent)
I am open to all thoughts, thanks!
