So I was wondering the last few days about how good the common over the counter oil filters actually do filter and I had an idea:
Why not contribute to the EPHatch community and run a comparison for everyone to see!
I'll be willing to spend the money on my end to do an oil change at every 1,500 miles, cut in half the oil filter used at that mileage and take a picture of the filter and oil for the experiment.
So the setup I'm running right now for the experiment is as follows:
Stock K20A3 with 98020 miles
GReddy bolt on turbo kit installed at 97700
Now the oil I'll be using throughout the experiment is Castrol SYNTEC 10W-30
I'll be topping off each oil change with 5 quarts and using the following filter brands:
Bosch, Mobil 1, Purolator One, Honda, and Fram
If you would like me to test out another filter, just tell me what brand it is and I'll see if I can order it from my local Advance Auto Parts.
I've started with the Bosch Distance Plus filter and have about another 1200 miles to go.
Oil change was done when the turbo kit was installed. I'll update with pictures soon.
