These are awesome and work on our cars. Highly recommended. Surpasses OEM quality and that of many aftermarket.

Here's my recommend 3 step process:

1: Read this article:
http://www.joegibbsracingoil.com/tra...h/filters.html

2: Buy these high-quality inexpensive filter: PL14460 ($5.76)
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Purolator-PL14460-PureONE-Filter-Pack/dp/B000E8P78I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346371606&sr=8-1&keywords=PL14460"]Amazon.com: Purolator PL14460 PureONE Oil Filter, Pack of 1: Automotive[/ame]

3: Change oil filter often (because it's easy), about every 2-2.5k miles. Change oil every 5k miles.

How does it surpass OEM filter quality when its from the same manufacturer as the OEM oil filter...

Because if you believe it's real, then that makes it real.

Because it's made to a higher spec than the OEM filter. The OEM filter only has to meet a certain specification.

This isn't to say the same company can spend some more dollars and offer something even better.

Do these versions have the same bypass pressure? Subaru has a specific spec which is higher than most. I'm going to stick with my Subaru black Tokyo Rokis and a filter mag.

The only change I might consider is to a Canton cartridge filter..

Changing our oil filter is absurdly easy, so I'm considering changing my filter every oil change AND every mid-oil-change. Perhaps oil change at 5-6k miles and filter change every 2.5-3k miles. Is this just pointless overkill? Thoughts?

You described exactly what I'm doing.

Oil every 5, filter every 2.5.

Oil every 3 in the summer when I'm at the track instructing or playing.

OrbitalEllipses · 10-19-2012, 02:07 AM

I believe those PL14460 filters don't have an anti-drainback valve.

I find this claim hard to believe. Better filters can keep it more constant but increase it 5psi??

Also another big claim to make.

Just get the OEM tokyo roki filters. You can get a 6 pack on ebay for $39.99 shipped (6.65 each!)
