Default USE ONLY ORIGINAL OIL FILTERS!

Should you use only Original mitsubishi Oil filters?? http://www.3sx.com/store/comersus_vi...dProduct=24438


Or is it okay to go with a K&N gold perfomance or some other brand of oil filter???


THANKS

DUDE, those are the BEST filters out there![sm=teetertooter.gif]


Kidding of course. You know, I was watching the Discovery channel and "how they're made" (is that what it's called? lol) and they showed how FRAM filters were made...of course it was generalized as to how "all" filters are made....anyway, it's a POS.
WIX brand is made the same as the OEM ones, btw and are a bit cheaper.

Here's a little write up on oil filters. It's a little old, but it sure does make you think.
