Quic question on these oil filters

[danieltovar]

Well guys I have napa gold oil filter for my firts 20 miles. It's my firts start up on an fully build engine and a lot of time and money went in it.
I have
Napa gold
Bosh
Kn
And I order 2 more filters kn
Here is the question what filters should I use firts the expensive ones or the cheap ones?
I just want to know people's opinions cause is it worth it to have good filters to break in a motor or not.
I also just want to know for me to have an guide to have my motor the cleanest I can get it.

think of it this way... in a rebuilt motor you change out the oil as the engine is wearing in to flush out anything from the break in/ rebuild proccess.

I used good filters from the start. the extra 5-10 bucks is not worth the $1500+ for the engine you just built. Get where I am going?

Ok sounds good I will use napa gold and then kn and then bosh, the kn in the middle cause it will last little longer on the car and the napa gold since it will be there for only 20miles the bosh the last one and finish with kn, sounds good.
Or should I use the kn firts and wait for the other two I order kn that will be here on 2 days.

Then your opinion is wrong...

All 3 are good filters. I use K&N or Bosch depending on what's available

DO NOT BUY A FRAM... EVER

The Napa is a wix filter and is very good quality.

NAPA Gold 1381 - made by WIX ... what I use on both of my 1G's - my Turbo Laser and my DD 1.8 Eclipse.

After each oil change, cut the filter open to inspect it.

Know I won't.

And so napa is wix next time I will buy wix then.

Thanks for your opinions everyone, and recommended filters.

Two of your top oil filters by brand is WIX and Puralator PURE ONE, they both use a fiberglass media instead of paper, and have the one of the lowest micron capabilities for a engine oil filter. That is the only thing that gets installed on any of my cars

I have been only using WIX filters for 7 years since I have started driving in all my cars. I wouldn't run anything but WIX.

Another option out there that is made by wix is the Protec master pack, available at oreilly's. 12 filters for about $30, unless you work there like me then its less than $20.

I am very picky on oil filters and have only used wix on everything, then I stumbled across these at work and haven't turned back (did some research as well and found some cut outs of them). I do like two oil changes a month in my talon (I drive a lot of miles too and from college). It is a much cheaper option and the quality is nearly the same as wix's main line of filters.

Part number is 152mp, if you are using the wix 51334 filter. If not someone at oreilly's can cross the part number and get the number for the master pack or you can PM me and I can check on it.

Only run OEM filters. Best for the motor, come pre-lubed ring and sealed and they're very well priced.

OEM filter, $6.

Other than that, I've done just fine with a Mopar oil filter.
