I use amsoil's ea series filter in both of my vehicles. I run the 1 year 25 k 15/40 amsoil diesel oil in it never have had any issues and have been using them for the last ten years.

I Have already posted on this but I have made a change today. The parts store happened to be out of ACdelco filters so I switched to K&N. I normally would never switch from something that works but after reading about all of you guys using the K&N I decided to give it a try.

For my 1st LS1 oil change I used a stock Replacement AC Delco filter, but next time around I am getting a Napa Gold Truck filter, the ones for the 6 Liter trucks, Longer and more room. Decently priced.

Bottom line they are all good and none will damage an engine in three to five thousand miles.Some may be a hair better but they all work fine.

Since I have OWNED the car I have used:
2: BOSCH
6: K&N
1: Fram

Fram FTL I know but I made a mistake. . lol. K&N is beautiful but paying 12 bucls an oil filter. . i wonder if its worth 3x what Bosch charges. . .

I wonder how long it'll take for other oil filter makers to put that little nut on.

Should even the feild a bit.

I'm not to sure what's on the Rolla right now. But it's probably a Purolator, it seems that the service station had a bit of that stuff stocked.

I will be doing the next oil change myself, so I'll probably put in something that others have said worked fine for the little 4banger and aren't too pricey.
