AutoZone have a speacial deal on Castrol oil that is $29.99 for 5qt. plus the filter. The oil is fully synthetics 5w-30. Is the oil and filter good to use on our g35 coupe. First time changing the oil at home. Thank for the advice.

 

Which Filter are they offering? Bosch? K&N ?

 

My guess is Bosch. That's the majority of their stock when it comes to oil filters.

 

yes it is. Castro syn is very good oil.

just be sure to get Bosch or K&n filter, which ever they offer. And stay away from the Fram filters.

 

I bought the deal and did my oil change 4 months ago. The filter was a Bosch, which is a good filter (might be a different filter now). Interestingly, you can get a consistetly better deal by buying the 5qt jug at Walmart (~$21) and a Bosch or Pure One filter at PepBoys (~$5-7) for less. I buy them in bulk now when I see a deal, so have 4-5 filters and 5 jugs in my garage.

I use Castol Edge BTW and change the oil every 8K miles, and the filter every 4K. Last week I found Castrol full synthetic, 10 bottles for $25 ($2.50 per bottle), so I'm always looking for clearances.

Depending on where you live, if it gets cold there, that's a good oil weight for the winter.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

thats what I do. but I use Motul 8100 and wix filter. change every 5-6k miles

 

It's FRAM tough guard oil filter that's included in the package..

personally, i would use it on the family civic.. wait.. we don't have a civic.. damnit.

 

this has been covered a billion times

all Autozones supply is decent stuff.

Fram,bosch,wix,stp,k&n,mobil 1...they all make good filters

just change em out and you will be fine

 

Mobile 1 FTW!!!

 

Fram do not make good filters, and I dont know about STP

FTL, Castrol Syntec ftw

 

if they dont make good filters how are they still in the air/oil filter business for X amount of years?

If a company makes a bad product they are usually gone pretty quick

Why would Autozone,Oreilly,Pep boys,and wal mart sell bad filter to thier customers?

I worked in a parts store for 3 years while going to college. I read up on all the filters I posted eariler, never had a customer complain once about any filter

 

^^^^
fram filters are junk.. yes they can do the basic of a 3k mile oil change, but when it comes to it being a performance filter... it's junk.

 

if you want to buy a fragile filter media with cardboard endcaps go ahead, I will never.

 

Thank you for all the advice, I will change the oil this weekend. Your the best!!!!!

 

I use Amsoil,Motul or Mobil with a Wix filter
