Hello BITOG Community,
Below is an Oil Filter Value Analysis that brings together quality and price to achieve a ranking of value for people who change their oil based on their owners manual specification and those that do extended mile oil changes. All the information on the products are from the manufacturers website with one exception for Wix. Their efficiency and micron ratings came from the NAPA and O'Reilly's websites.
The over arching principle is the manufactures website information is what they are building to and is what we get when we purchase their product. If I've missed something or misstated any specs, please provide feedback. Also ask questions because I realize there is a lot going on with this spreadsheet!
If you're preference is Quality without regard to price, the Quality section is for you. If you follow your owners manual for your OCI, see the OCI Value Ranking in the center. If you do extended oil changes, the area at the right is for you.
The analysis is a way to objectively shop for a filter to meet our specific needs. I've used Wix, Fram and Purolators over the years on my Subarus without really knowing which was the best value for my 6,000 mile OCI that I follow. This analysis helped me and I hope it can be of service to the BITOG community.
