Oil Filters of Choice - Looking for Options
 

Hello, everyone.

Trying to find alternative filter options for my 2013 CR-V. We've been a FRAM household for many years. Has anyone ever heard of Premium Guard Filters? I've done some research on Amazon and their products have good reviews. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Here's a link to their product page: https://www.pgfilters.com/product-pa...13-Honda-CR-V/ Please let me know your thoughts, or if you have other options.

My research on this matter has lead me to purchase the

Bosch 3323 Premium FILTECH Oil Filter

Seems like a good price point, for a better rated filter.
Amazon sells them.

welcome to the forum. 07 Fit 285k+ fram filter, 06 town and country 131k fram. all good no negative to date.

Bosch XL
 

I used to use the Fram Though Guard filters all the time, but they've become harder to get us recent years. My usual go-to now is Bosch XL filters. They have the silicone anti-drainback valve like the FTG filters do, which I consider to be very important, and they're advertised to last 10k (although I would not suggest waiting that long for an oil change).

AutoZone usually has the Bosch XL filters on sale with Valvoline High Mileage or full synthetic as an oil change kit, so I usually go for that because It's usually a good buy, unless you really like conventional oil.

I misspoke yesterday
 

It's the STP-XL filters I use that. I was thinking of bench because the stpxl filters and Bosch filters are both black, but it's the stp filters I've been using. Everything I said above applies, I just remembered the name wrong. :-(
