Oil Filter: Polyester Fleece vs. Paper Media
For those that like to change their own oil and filter on the 3.2L engine, there are two different filters available at AutohausAZ. One is the Mann Oil Filter Kit / Polyester Fleece Media and the other is the Hengst Oil Filter Kit / Paper Media. Which material media type do you prefer and why? Both are approximately the same cost so that isn't an issue. I also came across the Mobil 1 M1C-253A locally but I don't know if it's paper or fleece.
I should add that I change the oil approximately every 500-700 miles and it doesn't get many miles per year added to it. (Currently at just under 11k miles.)
Thank you
