Agree. I use Amsoil signature and matching filter.Fram XG3675 or Amsoil EAO64
Both *very* high quality synthetic filters w/ the long can. Wouldn't touch the rest of Fram's lineup with a 10ft pole, but their ultra synthetics are on point. And well.. Amsoil is Amsoil.
IMO, better filter > better oil. Even the best oil will do you no good if it has floating particulates and contaminants in it
I think you meant 51042xp, correct? No such number as 52042xp at the Wix site.I use WIX as well. Either the 51042 or 52042XP, whichever is in stock. I talked with a guy at O'Reilly about a year ago about them not having the regular 51042 and he said it was a nationwide issue, so I shelled out the extra couple of bucks for the XP.
I used to use the AC Delco PF46 filters when I had oil changes done at the dealership and through my first couple of oil changes because I got them for next to nothing. Once they switched to the E cores, I went back to WIX.
That filter is not avail in the usa either very strange they dont have any oil filters in stock for a 5.3.I know wix was bought out by another company awhile back.With all my years in shops and all my own vehicles, including Harley's, I have used WIX quality with never a problem and will continue to do so. The application of your filter is the same as mine and I still use them but I like a little more oil capacity and use the WIX 51522XP that is slightly over 1" longer than the 51042XP. The other dimensions and specs are the exact same. Yes, they are hard to get though.
