K&N here, been using them since they came out with no problems.

 

What is the larger filter that will fit and accept the full 6 quarts of oil. Oh, just something else I saw, the K&N 1007 filter that is recommended for a 5.7 liter V8 is the same one that is used on a 2.4 liter ecotec. Maybe it is just me, but I think my larger engine needs a larger filter.

 

The larger K&N is the HP2006

 

ac delco makes the bigger one that can take a full quart by its self...using k&n right now bout to switch to the ac delco

 

why does fram suck please explian i always use fram and have no problem

 

had a car yesterday that i put a fram on...It leaked...Put on a Fram TG, it leaked...Used a AC delco, it was fine...

My choice is Mobil 1 though...

 

hmm just the oil filters are bad? ive been useing fram tough guards on my last 3 cars and ive never had one leak yet and i dont even put oil on the seal when i screw it on by hand

 

too me it seems like the seals blow themselves out...I like a filter that has the seal securely mounted to the filter...

 

Filters that rate very highly and that I would use - Purolator PureOne, AC Delco (cheap but good) Hastings (not many places carry them) NAPA Gold & Carquest Blue both made by WIX, K&N, Mobil 1. I would say away from any filter made by Champ labs. Bosch, STP, Pennzoil, Quaker State, etc.

 

Napa Gold or AC Delco.

 

From the tests I have read I would not put a Fram on my lawnmower!!

I prefer Mobil 1. K&N is fine but I won't risk ripping the nut off the bottom if I run over something. (the nut is a nice feature if you drive something with some ground clearance)These are both premium and more expensive filters.

If I were to use a regular filter it would be AC but a few of the others are ok too.

 

I should clarify. Its not that they are BAD, its they are are not competitive on the same price level as competing filters. They are made with inferior internals and charge the same amount per filter as ones that are made with superior internals. Your car won't spontaneously combust as you are driving down the road, its just you are paying too much for a filter when there are better ones at the same price.

 

I think the Fram TG is very good, have been using them for years and never had a problem. For $4 at walmart, I can't complain.

 

Yeah but I bet you would be suprised to cut aparts a Carquest red, or NAPA blue filter (the cheap ones) which sell for around $3.00 and find a filter with more filter media, and metal end caps instead of cardboard. With FRAM filters you don't get what you pay for and believe me I have cut apart a few of them in my time

 

Where do you guys buy your K & N oil filters at? I've checked at Pep Boys, Advance Auto, and Auto Zone, and though they all have K & N oil filters, none of them carry
the #1007 that is listed for our cars.

 

Ac Delco PF59 here.

 

Does AC Delco still produce the duraguard line of oil filters?

 

Wix or Delco

 

put me down for wix

 

Is the Napa Gold filter a longer than the stock filter an wht is the p\n?
I liked the PF59 but cannot find them anymore.
Also would like to know the p\n for the M1 long filter.

Thanks.
