Thread: im needing an oil change and want to know whats the best filter to get?

ive seen a link that has a whole bunch of filters that were tested and showed what the best brands were and filtered the most but i cant find it so if someone knows where its at or which filter to get let me know please.i use Valvoline max life 10w-30

wix.

so napa brand, delco etc etc. Its just a filter and if you change you oil on time it dont matter what one you use.

Google

Otherwise, I've always ran a ACDelco PF52 on my cars...because its bigger than the PF47 that is factory.

But your lower mounts have to be in stout shape, or the 52 will get crushed.

i saw this chart someone posted but i cant find it im thinking of getting the puralator pure one filter.

this will be a never ending debate, just like what oil to run. no 100% solid data and everyone has opinions.

Here is the best answer.

Run whatever oil.

Run whatever filter.

Do it every 3k.

No problems.

buy what's on sale.

you talking about bobistheoilguy.com

Is this what you were looking for.

GM Truck Central Oil filter Gradesheet

Royal Purple with a K&N filter every 2500 miles.

Why? Because Racecar.

I just get the synthetic oil special at AAP. I usually grab it when they have the castrol/k&n filter combo.

according to what was taught at my school, K&N, Mobil 1, and Napa Gold filters are the premium filters. they filter the most contaminants.

hope that helps

Supposedly wix will capture the smallest mircrons of contaminants or something also. Just heard that somewhere tho. dont take my word for it.

i left that one out, WIX is also among the top tier filters

welll i use valovine max life and i used to use the fram guard filters but now i moved to the puraloator pure one filter and yes this is what i was talking about GM Truck Central Oil filter Gradesheet. but after looking at this ill probably go to the fram exdtended guard.

it looks like the mobil 1 filter would be the best for my car?

Just buy a filter.
