Oil Filter recommendation

[skippy737]

i use synthetic oil- i have about 7,000 miles and this will be my second oil change-) i drive maybe 3500-400 miles a year so i only change it about once per year and now is the time) i did a search for oil filter and didnt really get what i wanted.

Does anyone have a recommendation on an oil filter for a 2010 denali-- i used a top of the line one from an auto parts store, but was just wondering if anyone had any reason to use a certain kind of filter like a K&N etc.

thanks

If the AC Delco is good enough to cover the power train warranty requirements, why look anywhere else? JMO

 

[skippy737]

thats a good point, but since i dont drive that much, and if a better filter is only a few dollars more, then i figure why not-- - i think i have a high end ac delco on now

Wix -- because no NASCAR team has ever blown an engine because one of their filters failed.

Does NASCAR run a wet or dry sump oil system?

Dry, and as such, they don't use a conventional spin-on filter as we are used to, but a special in-line set-up like this:

Yet, every NASCAR car has a Wix sticker, and the contract states they are the filter supplier.

Chock it up to cost of advertising and doing business with nascar.

I'm biased. Who isn't? I just happen to know that Wix is one of, if not the, best filters you can get. I also happen to work at an auto parts store that has its ASE certification thanks to my manager. He's been in the business for 52 years, so I pretty much take what he says as truth.

I'm a distributor, the guy that supplies parts to the repair shops. Wix are preferred 5:1 to the AcDelcos. The Wix are just better filters. Don't even get me started on FRAM... Absolute trash.

what number?

remember the ole SCB had short & tall filters in different applications.

i think the LSx engine family should have a taller filter, but have not found one.

i "think" a bigger filter equals less restriction, and better filtering, and just a bit more oil capacity.

is there a tall oil filter for our trucks?

I use K&N but they cost 2x - 3x more

PF48 in the delco brand... thats all i use, but i second the use of WIX filters, they are one of the best if not the best on the market... stay awy from fram...


No tall filter for our trucks..

Stick with what works, ACDelco or WIX... IMO...

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

I use Fram I think.. Haven't had a problem yet...

um thats what i always use lol. it works alright for me

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

Place we were buying ours from stopped selling delco then brought them back and stopped again fml fml

Glad this thread was started though I'll deffinantly start looking at wix!!

Why no tall filter for our trucks? It's not like Wix doesn't make one. The Wix number for our trucks is 57060. The tall filter version is 57502.

Check into AMSOIL's remote oil filter set-up. 10 times better filtration than any bypass oil filter that only filters about 20% of the oil on each pass. The AMSOIL system has a bypass filter, then a full flow filter that filters the oil 100 % on each pass through the system. Using this system @ 3-4000 mils a year, you could easily run synth oil for 3yrs. I drive my nali 50000 a year, and change once ayear, she's got over 350,000 and still strong..

napa gold = wix, can't go wrong. no need for the tall filter if you drive that little. go with napa or k/n since your talking about less than 15 bucks twice a year. Change it at-least every 6 months.

 

[purple 'hoe]

I'd only use Wix or AcDelco. It's all I use (AcDelco for the most part)
