Post poll: what oil filter do you use?

i dont have the poll feature available to me (i think its only for subscribers?), but hopefully a mod can alter this thread into one.


im just curious on what brand oil filters you guys use on your civic or any of your cars. you can explain why if you'd like. this thread could be a discussion on car oil filters as well.


here are the choices, im sure their are more, please include them if you know them!

1) Honda OEM
2) Mobil 1
3) Fram
4) Bosch
5) K&N
6) STP

I have been using fram high mileage for the longest time. Since I buy my oil at walmart, I just get the filter from there.
