General Maintenance & Repairs - best oil filter to use??

hey guys, i just wanted to know what kind of
oil filter you guys use, i'm just wondering!! :cheers:

K&N, its few bucks more--prob doesnt help any, but an extra $5 every 3 months when I change my oil doesnt seem too bad

I like the K&N....Patman should be jumping in this thread any minute know :devil:

I too use the K&N filter. I use the longer one for my SS and the short (stock)size on my WS6. The longtube headers on my SS hang just a bit lower then the long filter;therefore, protecting it thats why I got the long one. I noticed an increase in oil pressure with both filters over the AC-DELCO filter I used to use.

I use the LS1 truck filter - I hate those little dinky stock filters... It hangs just a tad lower than the oil pan.

thanks for letting me know. :cheers: by any chance u guys know the part # of the k&n oil filter the long one...!!!
thanks again guys...... :cheers:

I used to use the UPF series AC Delcos until they stopped making them. Now I use Mobil One fliters.

I use PureOne truck part number filter. I believe the number is like 201233 or something.

dont do it napa sucks. i hate their service,i hate their products, i just personally hate napa w/ a passion. go with amsoil, mobil one, or wix. sorry for the outburst but its just my .02

SSUNSET 02 has the right idea ;)

The NAPA Gold is the same as Wix.

AMSOIL, hands down....filters down to 5 microns.

I use Mobil 1....

Mobil 1 107

I used to use the Mobil 1, switched to the supertech (Walmart) and got much better pressure. I think the M1 filters are too restrictive.

Where can you get Amsoil and Amsoil filters? Anyone? I've been thinking about switching from Mobil 1...

personally i wasent happy with mobil oil or filters. even though they come with mobil its not the best oil. its good but not great. i use amsoil 10w30 and am more than happy with it. if ur looking for a filter go to amsoil's website and call them up and order it. i only can find the oil at this place here in san antone called autobahn.

The NAPA Gold is the same as Wix.



how sure of that are you? im not saying your wrong but i dont know. go to amsoil site and look around for the oil filter chart with amsiol filters vs the leading competitors. i know its their site so it may be biased but still. maybe im just stupid :jest:

Wix makes NAPA filters.

A/C Delco is the way to go.

i know guys with pro street cars that use Wix filters and so do i. i use the truck filter (longer) PN 51522 .

I use the AC Delco as well.

The K&N number is HP1007 though.
