Use a good OE filter like Mann, Hengst or Knecht/Mahle.

Thanks for the reply. I can't necessarily do my mom's brakes any time. I realize how i must sound, but i'm 24 and work full time and have a life of my own. Also, I'll be moving across the country in 2 months and if i don't do it before I move I won't be able to do it at all. However, i can say that her brakes are in need of replacement. The pads are wearing thin. Who said I wanted to do the brakes for the heck of it???

Thanks for the recommendation on the filter. I priced out a Mann filter and thats what will be ordered.

Anyone have input on my question regarding draining the motor oil? Thanks again!
