What is the best brand oil filter to use I use spectra for air filters and what brand of oil I norm use use fram with castrol high mileage oil

 

Anything but Fram.

Purolator PureOne is my usual.

 

i always use a mopar but i get em for nothin:P
pureolater pure one is what i used before though. stp was ok.
i won't use fram. i've replaced to many engine with fram filters.
if you are in doubt though why not stroll down to your dealer and pick up a few m-090 filters for it. it's what was made for it anyway.

 

I always run fram it's in my atvs all 20k worth my 2 boats my dirt bikes and my gocarts I make and then my trucks and have never had any problems with them my dad used them in his 1300hp drag car never a problem so I Guss we have been really lucky then this was the frist place iv heard about bad things about fram I Gus's when I get the chance I'll switch all the filters to the k&n That going to be about 23diff filters I have to buy ya

 

I've always used the Mopar filters (which are rebranded purolators) and Frams, hell we have a 96 Dodge Ram with 300,000 miles that has only had Frams it's whole life. I used K&N's in my daily driver for a while but it got traded for my 87 Dakota. Wix's are good too, use those a lot since I've been employed at a Wix dealer.

 

I agree with the above statement being to use the Mopar filters. However, if you go outside the box, and use aftermarket filters that have increased filtering, you must be diligent to not allow them to get clogged as it will increase wear on internal parts. As far as intake filtering, unless you are part of a racing team, the stock style filters (paper) are adequate. K&N are good for city driving, but offroading style can be problematic, and they require more maintenance than normal filters, so you pay more to do more. Really, the aftermarket machine is just wanting to sell you something you really do not need, but make it seem like your pride and joy will become a 10 second monster if you just give them your cabbage. I will state that MOBIL 1 synthetic, Zmax, and ethanol free gas are beneficial (personally studied in college to see benefits)
