General Maintenance & Repairs - what oil filter!

hey guys, would the AC DELCO oil filter number PF 46s be good to go? im gonna do my first oil change on my car this weekend.

There was a poll on here, and the K&N bigger size filter is what most (without lowered cars) said they buy, I think it was #4007, but im not sure on that, you'll have to look around or wait for someone else to reply.

cool. ill see more of the replies. but anyways, im just gonna go with ac delco filter. i ran it on my old z and never had any problems.

it is hp2006...that's what I use and I like it. I get better oil pressure with the k&n than the m1 filter.

ill check out that k&n filter. im gonna go with castrol syntec 5w-40.

well if your just wondering what the part # is for the filter you know you're going to buy, they can tell you that where you buy it.

just stay away from the FRAM crap....i have a k&n and 5w30 running in my car and it loves it

Im using the "big" K and N filter part # HP-2006 I believe it is. Great so far using with M1 0W-40

I use the ac delco PF61 one on my car and my 2500hd 6.0L

im running mobil1 10w30, with a mobil one filter

ill probably just stick with the ac delco filter. i didnt have any issues with it anyways. thanks guys. but i will look into the k & n filter..

yup, ended up going with castrol syntec 5w-40. and got the ac delco pf 46 filter. well see how it goes.

Here is the poll, looks like you ac delco filter is the second most used, but just for some extra info, check it out

Three letters... WIX

K&N hp2006. I'm lowered and I haven't torn it off on a speedbump and trashed my motor yet.

There's plenty of things that hang lower than the filter, it's really nothing to worry about unless you're offroading with your car, traversing ruts and deep crevasses.

It always cracks me up when people say they don't want to use the bigger filter because on the K&N the nut on the bottom sits slightly below the oil pan. I always say they same thing....If you bottom out enough to take your oil filter out you have MUCH bigger problems than a snapped oil filter :)

Yeah.

K&N and Mobil 1 are too expensive for oil filters IMO, and FRAM, stp, etc is crap. I use Bosch premium filters, large volume and good flow.

They're like, 7 or 8 dollars :confused:

I now use WIX filters from Napa.

i have been using the M1 oil filter (M1-107) but i ahve been hearing that the K&N Oil Filter is great.. PN is HP 2006.. will have to look in this in the spring

Must be cheaper at Austin. Mobil 1 goes for 15 at the autozone in sugar land and K&N about 10

I'll take another look next time I buy my oil changing goods, but I remember the k&n being cheap. Even if it's 10, that's worth it to me for a superior quality oil filter. I get my stuff at Autozone too :)

k&N = 12 bucks, the M1 filter was about 8-9. As of yesterday at autozone. The K&N is a better filter than the M1 and all others out there right now. Cut the filters in half and you will see what I mean. The M1 is not a bad filter though, and if on a budget I would pick one of those up.

i went with the ac delco filter.. and everything seems fine..

Just look on the net...I get my K&N HP2006's for under 10 bucks...

i know to use the K&N HP 2006.... but what makes it so superior????

k&N = 12 bucks, ... As of yesterday at autozone.

Yep, in the Austin area too.

Bigger deal is the $5.99 European Castrol 0w-30. That makes for an expensive oil change ...
