Wife got a 2017 E300 Mercedes....got a couple of these filters, so I can do 5000mile interval oil changes instead of the 10000miles recommended by MB....anyone have any ideas/opinions on alternative filters than may be better?
10K interval seems a long time for a DI turbo engine to me.
Mazda 2.5L Skyactiv 0W-20? Fed Castrol Gold bottle 0W-20 all of its 28k miles.....doesn't use any oil...but Castrol is 25-30% more expensive nowadays and I want to stock up for the next couple of years?
Experiences, Opinions?
Havoline ProDS 0W-20 6qt - $20
Shell Rotella Gas Truck 0W-20 5qt -...
Found some Mobil Delvac 15W40 on rollback at walmart for about $30 for 2.5 gallons
and then found Delo 15W40 XLE on clearance for about $13/gallon....
Going in a Kubota L2501 tractor, and I am wondering if I should stock up a little....each change is just under 2 gallons worth....both prices...
I must have missed something from way back when FRAM filters had the cardboard and every other possible cost cut measure in them.....However, these days I seed people using and recommending them. What gives? Did they change their ways or what?
