A full synthetic 5W-30 and nothing else. I sell oil on a daily basis and apart from sounding like a used car salesman, you can trust me on that one

Yerp, anything in this game is "You get what you pay for".....

Try taking an expensive oil filter and a cheap one, cut them both open and have alook whats inside....guarantee the cheaper filter has much less 'filter paper' and at lower micron level too

I can't really recommend you guys oils personally, as far as brands go as I don't think you get the same there as here, but I switched from a Castrol 5W-30 to a Liqui Moly 5W-30 and noticed an immediate increase in response, engine ran quieter and later on better fuel economy.

You get what you pay for! If you guys get Ryco filters, I highly recommend those.

i always buy the longer filter that fits Nissan trucks etc for more filtration, has same size base. i think a few people here use that trick

As smart as that may sound its actually not a very smart process to be doing.

Running the wrong Oil filter means your oil pressure is different, which can lead to lots of problems in the long run.

Oil filters are NOT the same, just like oils. You can't just stick any old filter on your car because it fits, each filter is designed to fit your specific vehicle for a reason.

One extremely important thing you may be missing without realizing it could be that the filter you're using doesn't have an anti-drainback valve in it, which could be devastating for your engine.

Always use the filter specific to your vehicle, Nissan/Renault didn't spend millions of dollars invested in designing your motor to fit any old filter
