Wink Oil and filters my 2 cents



I maintain 3 vehicles. I have been using these products for years with out issues.
2007 Accord EX-L V6 63k miles
1993 Acura Integra 4 cyl. V Tec 170k miles
1993 Chevy Silverado C1500 5.7L 220k miles

I buy my oil filters at O'Reillys. I buy the fleet oil filter made by Wix. You have to buy them by the dozen. A dozen filters in my area is $32.40 plus tax. Less than 3 bucks each.

Accord V6 oil filter is a Pro Tec 164MP

I used Fram oil filters for years before finding the Wix fleet.

I buy Walmart oil. Their brand is Super Tech. Meets all OEM specs. A 5 quart jug is $12.00 in my area.

I used Valvoline for years.

I change the oil and filter every 3k miles.
You can also do a change every 200 gallons of fuel. This method is used for commercial fleets.

I sold a Chevy pick up that was switched from Fram and Valvoline to the Wix oil filter and Super Tech oil. When I sold it it had 320k miles on it. Ran great, but rusted bad.

You make the call. Oil and filter change for $15.00.

Yeah Wix are good, Napa Gold are also good and made by Wix. Of course Mobil 1 filters are great but cost twice as much.
