AC Delco, Mobil 1

My GN buddy recommended K&N until his motor went. According to him, they clogg pretty easy.

My dad and I have run Fram filters forever, no problems. I don't understand their bad reputation

I used to run Royal Purple , but that **** is junk.. way too thin.. I gained atleast 10psi of oil pressure just at idle switching to mobile 1..

I went to 0w40 mobile 1 ...

But now that im stockish i use mobile 1 5w30 K&N oil filter ...



Everyone has their opinions... RP will never see my engine again!

I've been a believer in Mobil 1 and Delco filters ever since I saw the inside of the 106K mile motor that came out of my Turbo Buick. The inside of that oil pan was spotless and those internals were amazing.
