Default Re: Which oil filter do you use?

With full synthetic it is much higher - e.g., 5k and then some, depending on application.
Paul,

The oil changes pretty much coincide w the driving season. I always change the oil for the winter. When I am getting ready for a long drive and/or racing situation as in going to BG, I change the oil prior to that event. The Castrol GTX I use is not SYNTH oil. I usually throw in 8-9 quarts/change w filter.
