NEVER use a FRAM oil filter, or anything else they make

these are very poor quality filters, there are very little folds or pleats(what ever you want to call them) in these and a lot of the inner construction is cheap paper, this means very horrible filtration and a filter that will deteriorate, two things you do not want in a filter...if the fram "sure grip" is really worth it to you then get it, but I know almost any real knowledgeable mechanic would never even put one of these on their own vehicle

go with a mobile 1 filter or a wix filter if you can get a hold of one

as for oil everyone is right on the ball with the mobile 1 full synthetic oil(make sure you get full rather than part synthetic), I just recently put some castrol syntec fully synthetic oil in my truck, so far it's felt very smooth

how often should you change the oil? Oil companies will tell you every 3000 miles but you are safe to go 5000, and even a little more

I personaly change my oil about every 4000 because I like to try and keep things fresh and it never hurts, you can never change your oil too much
