Oil Filter - Toyota Yaris Forums

06silveryaris · 08-08-2009, 09:46 PM

I use Pennzoil or valvoline in both my cars with oem for the yaris but puralator pure one for the 08crv, since the oem new Honda filters are made by fram. I have read alot of bad stuff on Fram for a while and saw cut filters of a few different brands and fram did look inferior. But what really did it was my neighbor uses fram or motorcraft and about 4 months ago his fram filter failed (seems to have come apart from the inside) and oil spilled everywhere. When he opened the the filter it looked like just a cup just filled with parts. There is a web site called bobistheoilguy.com which cover all this stuff in detail.
