Oil Filter
 
I just did a oil change on my 86, and was just wondering what brand of oil filter ever body likes i use the AC Delco PF1218

K&n for me or wix. Don't trust fram anymore after seeing some racers at the track implode the insides of the filter and starve thier engine or run filter media through the mains

Delco, Wix, NAPA Gold, I'm not too picky, but absolutely will not use Fram.

i have run fram on all my small blocks with zero problems ever and i miss changes and go over and i do abuse one of then often. i cut every other one open and never found anything wrong so far. i stick with the fram's do to rust as some of my trucks only get one change a year do to use. i find that the wix and the napa and one other will cave in and not come off. just my .02

When you run a high volume oil pump tho insides of a fram disintegrate especially in the upper rpm range. They work fine on a stock engine and such

ACDelco vintage PF35, or, Napa Gold (wix)

Dieselholic92 03-19-2012 12:02 PM

Re: Oil Filter
 
I use either wix or napa gold on everything I own. They're the same filter. I will never use a fram. I cut a few of those open only to find cardboard end caps and the pleats weren't even glued all the way together on some of them :dohh:

Go to autozone and pull an AC Delco, and STP, and a ValueCraft out of the box and tell me what you see.

The same filter in 3 different boxes.

AC Delco isn't what is once was.

i runa repair shop here where i am and i will not install frams anything but, i stock Promotive By purolator , I normal has a collection of most promotive, Purolator, Wix(napa Gold) And Mann Filters. The wix and Mann are mostly my new style Cartilage Filters ) Cut open a frame and one of the others you'll not go back, seeing most cars are now installed with a high volume oil pump the old Fram carb board filters dont hold up

Been using AC Delco PF932 on everything that has clearance since 1968. Just remember to add the extra oil when you do.

Re: Oil Filter
 
I am using the Amsoil filter. Have also used wix with good luck. Absolutely no Fram on my engines.

you guys with the big filters are you going longer on a change or still the 3k? i can see where the high volume would be bad with a fram but like i said i use them cause i can get them off
