Default Good oil filter GP?

K&N, Mobil One. Whatever. Anybody up to it? Is it worth it? I need a dozen to fit LS1, LS6 and C5R engine. Oh, SS Silverado too.

Probably not a lot of mark up, so you probably wont get any bites.

There are several "lot sales" on ebay. Byunspeed has the K&N oil filters pretty cheap (price shipped)

Didn't think this would be a biggie. Maybe a filter and racing oil combo?

I know you mentioned the better filters, but I bought 6 of the AC Delcos off of ebay for less than $20. I also got to choose which filters (stock size, larger, or combo) I wanted.

I've had near 300 successful transactions via ebay with only one bad one (with someone who's also a LS1tech member, but I wont go into that right now). Look at someones feedback score and actual feedback messages. you can even queston people that have left feedback to see if something has been corrected.

I think my new Summit catalog said 2 free K&N oil filters with a case (12) Royal purple oil......It might have been Jegs but one of them for sure. It is on the last page on the inside cover. Hope that helps.

Just got the catalogs. Summit has the offers but no RP. Jegs has no deal on RP. Looks hopeless. I guess I just get my *** on the phone and order wtfin and be done with it! Now, surely I haven't completly lost my mind....the filter fits the LS1, LS6 and C5R cause that's what I'm ordering!! Get ready Thunder here comes a biggy!!!
