One thing to consider on filters, make sure to get the filter for the car/engine. Some of the filters for newer cars have the bypass relief valve in the filter housing and as a consequence the filters do not have a bypass valve in them. I saw this first hand on the display at my local Auto-Zone. All my wheels, except the 1.9 Opel engine use Frams, all with over 150,000 on the odometer. I blew the seals on two Frams on the Opel, so I used Purolators on the Opel engine.
