Been at least 20 years since I changed my own oil, but now that I've installed a lift at my place I plan to start doing it again. I remember just buying one of the aftermarket brands like WIX or Fram or whatever back in the day.
Does it make any sense to buy something other than OEM for the oil filter? I checked prices before posting this and found:
Purolator Boss for my car (Honda) $12.99
Fram Titanium $14.99
Don't know yet how much the Honda filter is, but I can't imagine it's much more than these prices unless someone out there knows better. And feel free to share opinions about any of the aftermarket filters. I know some of the quick-ee lube places use filters that might be no better than a roll of toilet paper. Maybe worse. I don't know from filters.
