The only thing you were correct about, was the price. However, its obvious you get what you pay for.

What's the price of an Amsoil filter? The advantage with he Pureone is its great price---besides its construction quality. $6.95, regular price; $4.95, on sale!!!

The EaO12 oil filter for these cars runs at $12.85. This is dealer cost, and what I sell all Amsoil products at.

While the Amsoil filter won't be able to match the PureONE in initial cost, it will become way more competitive in the long run. When used with Amsoil synthetic motor oil, it is guaranteed to remain effective for 25,000 miles.

Seems like the fram filters are going to be here on monday.

So any online shops to buy redline and the magfilter things. Or if anybody here trusts me enough and I can pay them cutting away the online shops

I found one for the redline but the prices are in pounds and converting that to euro is horrible

got the fram filters in.

Are they supposed to be so small? I don't know how big the OEM one is but it just look tiny XD

esfourteen · 05-04-2010, 04:47 PM

^^ looks stock sized, they are small.

Vegitto-kun · 05-04-2010, 05:03 PM

ah good.

I hope that they are good.

You see that round shiny piece of metal inside the filter in the third picture?

Kinda looks like a magnet. would be nice no need to go buy a filter magnet

and for some reason they added a cd with a video about cartridge oil filter changes.

WRONG CAR FRAM XD

You don't get quantity OR quality with Frams!

Some filter comparo's here...http://myg37.com/forums/engine-drive...otsa-pics.html

Talked by dealer into letting me bring in my own filters after seeing that G37 forum post...

Might go with K&N, they seem easier to find than Pureone
