jholly 03-08-2005, 11:48 PM Ok, got some good response on oil. What is the best oil filter? Around here all I can find is , Delco, STP, or Fram. Any thoughts. Fram -:t Delco is okay, Best Mobil 1 followed by Baldwin, Napa and Delco not necessarily in that order. . I think jbplock did some reseach on oil filters, you might do a search on his postings or oil filter. Check around for truck dealers, you can find Baldwin's there. Check around for a Allision dealer, you can find the transmission spin-on's there at a good price. Check the supporting vendors for filters. Jim Mark_my_word 03-09-2005, 01:57 AM From what I've read the Mobil M1-303 looks to be the best. I use it. Not sure where you are located but here in Southern California they are pretty easy to find. They are around $10 I think. I can't remember if I get them at Kragen or Autozone. SSNIGHTMARE 03-09-2005, 09:51 AM I use the mobil m1-303, and from what I have read it has the best filtering avaliable. i get mine at autozone. dmaxalliTech 03-09-2005, 10:08 AM I've heard that the Mobil are supposed to be the best and I think thats mostly in part to the synthetic media that is more consistant. gearhead 03-09-2005, 03:16 PM I know its a dump ? but can you use the moble 1 with dino oil coyotekid 03-09-2005, 10:19 PM Yep, Mobil says their filter is totally compatible with dino oils. I also use the M1-303 and have been satisfied so far. In the past, I've always had good luck with Napa Gold filters in other applications, but I really have no way to back up how well they were actually filtering. Baldwin and Fleetguard generally have good reps as well. Texasdeere 03-09-2005, 10:35 PM What do you guys think about the Amsoil SDF-52 oil filter? txguppy 03-09-2005, 10:42 PM Hey Fellow TX, I've used the Amsoil from 1st oil change on both D/A's I've had. Great filter.:ro) coyotekid 03-10-2005, 07:20 PM No experience with Amsoil filters for the D-Max, but I liked the SDF I used on my 6.0 gas. nlvcc 03-13-2005, 10:29 PM mobil 1 filter baby . on the best seller list for a while now. you wont be disappointed .10.00 at autozone , ive got mine there but they only stocked one so buy it if you see it hotrent1 03-13-2005, 10:33 PM I use amsoil on all by trucks. either dual bypass or sdf Thunderhead7 04-03-2005, 08:21 AM OK I'm looking at the Mobil 1 filter, has anyone used the WIX filter? aka108 04-03-2005, 09:03 AM Running OEM filters I think is best as if there is ever a warranty question when something busts GM is less likely to place blame on use of anyone elses parts and put you thru the mill in getting repairs. For what it's worth. coyotekid 04-03-2005, 01:47 PM I seriously doubt that a warranty would or could be voided over an "aftermarket" oil filter! I understand your reasoning, but I'd use whatever filter you want to. LanduytG 04-03-2005, 08:28 PM I have been thinking of doing a filter test for awhile now. I was going to make up a 5 quart system. I have a good oil pump to use for the setup. Was going to use used oil and have enough to run 4 or 5 of the top filters. Would mix all the oil together in the beginning and take a sample and do a particle count. Then run the test with 5 quarts and take another sample for a particle count. Would have to figure out how long to run the test. I think if you ran it 30 minutes to and hour that it would be good. IMHO this would be a very legitimate test. I think run the Mobile, AC, Baldwin, Amsoil and Wix. But with not really having the time plus the cost of all the particle counts I just have not gotten to it. Greg MoBoost 04-04-2005, 01:41 AM Just started using K&N HP-3003, they work well in my other cars! And getting them at the same price of an AC Delco doesn't hurt either:) | ||
