I rebuilt my engine and put on a new Bearmach filter. I was gutted to find I had an oil leak which made a mess of my nice, new engine, although I couldn't see where it was coming from.
Months later I tackled the problem and found that the Bearmach had leaked from the crimp at the top, from new. I put on a Britpart, the only spare I had and no more problems! Hurrah for Britpart! But I'll go OEM next time.

How often do you change oil on your vehicle?There are a few different brands of oil filter out there for our motors, Genuine/OEM, Mann, Mahle, Britpart, Crosland, Bosch, Fram and I'm sure I've missed a few.
Whats your preference, cheapest? Dearest? Or do you just pick up the first one listed? Do you have a preferred brand? Have you ever taken your old one apart to see whats in it?
5,000 miles here and cabin filter yearlyI like this thread a lot.
Some say im excessive but I change the air, engine oil + filters every 6k. The rest changed every 12k fuel filter yearly.

Oil and filter are cheap maintenance'
I take mine to dealer for oil and filter, along with a full inspection. All for about $30 at 3 times a year so $ 100 a year or less than 30 cents a day.
Why you being a cheap fooker?
Thats why the dealer does it. I can't buy the items cheaper than what a dealer charges. Also dealers record of service etc they can't say oil issue for a warranty work.You wont even get the parts for 30 dollars in the UK for one oil change, never mind the inspection.
Average price for syn oil is roughly 5.00 gbp per litre, filter is 10gbp minim, dealer will be double that, then plus the labour.
Some quick fit places used to do 35gbp oil changes, not sure fi they still do?
The problem now is the oil, there are so many variables/types.
