i use 10 w-30 mobil 1,for oil, and a fram filter, but i was wondering what everyone used for oil filters? comments on which one is good, best, worst.....dont use ever.....thanks

 

I use an AC Delco PF44...no complaints.

 

PF44

 

M1-206 but I think i'm gonna switch to the K&N HP-2006

Check out www.bobistheoilguy.com and look for Patman's posts.

 

I used K&N oil filters. I haven't heard great things about Fram when tests were done.....

 

The $1.99 SuperTech filter from Wal-Mart. Patman will back that.

Get rid of that Fram!!!

 

thanks guys, looks like ill lose the fram oil filters!


almost 50 degrees here in maine, looks like a good day for a drive

 

I actually have started to hear good things about the Walmart Supertech filters myself, and decided to try one in my Daily driver.

 

The AC Delco PF58 fits just as good as the PF44 but it's longer. It's not too long so it does not stick out.... I don't have any idea if it's really better to have a bigger or longer filter but I'm positive it cannot make it worse.... and it's not more expensive (about $4) so just give it a try....

 

After studying quite a few oil filter tests. Here's my recommendations.

The Delco is fine, it has a moderately low micron filtration & moderate flow.

Mobile-1 has super low micron filtration & moderate flow.

Purolator PURE ONE has 2nd best micron filtration (just behind Mobile-1) and higher flow.

FRAM IS A PIECE OF ...umm... junk! Biggest rip off marketing in the business!

I have heard that the K&N Filters have good filtration like the M1 filters but much better flow.

 

I haven't seen any K&N tests yet.

 

i have used it once but cant find it anywhere locally now and i dont wanna mail order it.....


anyone got any ideas???

 

I've been using AC Delco filters since day 1. I figure if it's gotta be "warranty approved", GM can't knock an AC Delco filter!

As far as Fram's, supposedly they're totally "card-board" construction inside, vs. most filters have metal backings on the filter elements for more strength?? I'm not sure about their "micron" or "flow" specs though.

 

I have pics of a cut up fram if anyone would like to see the cardboard. Alot of manufacturers now advise to stay away from fram since they can fail and you will not be filtering at all.
