Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

What is your favorite brand of Filter?
Permalink  

There are lots of types of filters out there, oil, fuel, air, water, etc made by many differant manufacturers.  Is there any specific brand that you've had great success with and other brands that you'd stay away from?

I prefer NAPA/Wix filters, and try to stay away from Fram.  I can't say I've ever had any filter related problems, but the Frams seem to priced so low, it makes me wonder if they cut back on something inside to keep down the price.

Best Regards!

K&N air filters are great and they made a measurable difference on a Chev 454 towing an Avion 5'er.

On the MH with a CAT engine, I use CAT filters.  No problems at all with filters there.  Otherwise, I shop at NAPA and ask for a brand I recognize.

Not a simple question and very little factual (or even believable) data. There are some enterprising folks who do some "testing" for whatever that might be worth. Click here for a guy who has tested a slew of oil filters. You can find several of these "tests" out on the web. Take heed in this guy's "disclaimer" section, lots of good advice there and clearly no simple or even one single right answer.

AFE and similar aftermarket air filters outperform stock filters for the most part.
I have used Fram filters for many years and never had a problem. I even used stock production Fram oil filters on my race cars without a single failure.I will probably continue to use them, although the afore mentioned Wix/NAPA are also very reliable filters.
