Just a quick question. If your using Mobil 1 5-30 oil, do you have to run a Mobil synthetic filter also?
I went to buy some Mobil 1 and regular oil filter. The person at the parts desk said a regular oil filter will get plugged up after 2000-3000 miles and the oil will by pass the filter. He said the regular oil filters were designed for regular oil, and synthetic oil filters were made for synthetic oil?
What do you guys/gals think?
My personal opinion is he was trying to sell some $10 filters.
