Best Oil and Filter to use

[kubi]

The first number only really applies to the time the engine is warming up. Unless you see temperatures around freezing it really doesn't matter.

Its made with materials that are so poor that even a third world country would consider them crappy...

j/k. But I know it has to do with their shoddy design, I read something about it a while ago. Basically, they either break down and clog easily or break down and let way too much crap through.

Found some interesting info/data on oil filters. This guy doesn't like FRAM either.

USE THE OEM FILTER FROM THE DEALER!!

All the engine start up damage was done to my car years before I bought it. Hell, I would be lucky if the lady changed it every 5k miles with dino oil at the jiffy lube. If I bought a brand new car I'd stick with OEM filter, no question. The 1mz's will run for a long a$$ time even with fram oil filters.
