2020 Renault (Dacia) Duster w/ 2.0l NA GAS Engine Oil and Filter

[AlanCanada]

I just picked up a 2020 Dacia Duster with a 2.0 L Gas (F4R), naturally aspirated engine. The car has 8,000 KM on it.

I'm in South America where the temperature ranges from 10 to 30 celsius year round, no freezing.

I'm looking at running Mobil 1 3000 5w30 vs Mobil 1 FS (Euro) 0w30. The 5w30 costs 30% less.

Also, the standard filter for this car seems really small. Does anyone know how I find a comparable wix filter that has the same interface, but is taller with more media capacity?

Can't find that filter on the Wix website, but it seems to be a M20x1.5 thread. Search for filters that cross reference with a Fram PH9688. Wix 51064 or 51334 might work, as long as they physically fit. That filter might be short for clearance reasons. You don't want a large filter sticking down beneath the car, especially if you drive off-road.

Thanks for your help, clearance is not an issue, it's a longitudinal / horizontal mount and there is space for 3 times the height.
