what oil filter do you use?

[mattpiotr]

finally put my new comp cam in the truck and put the rebuilt heads back on. drove it for about 3 days and figured i would change the oil....picked up 6 quarts of Lucas 10W-40 Semi-Synthetic Motor Oil a month ago at the local performance shop. but didnt get a filter, kinda wanted to see what of oil filter everybody uses....or prefers. ive been kinda switching off between K&N and Napa Gold. i will stay away from Fram.

I use Wix 51061. That's who also makes the Napa Gold Filters.

AC Delco if I change the oil.

Wix 51794 2qt filter

[Project82]

I always use a 51061 Wix but a AC-Delco PF1218 works for me provided my parts store has it in stock...

A 51794 is also a better choice for the extra oil capacity, but!...Sucks trying to change the filter with long tube headers without spilling it all over the place!

I use the Baldwin B7. It's a 2 quart filter, 20 micron.

Used the FRAM 2qt filter for many a moon with no problems, getting harder to find anymore so I switched over to the Wix 2qt filter where my local parts store carries all the time

Looking like a Fram or Wix for me... glad I went and pulled this out of the archives - thought I would comment again to bring it back into discussion.

I love articles like this, the one thing that could have been addressed in another test is the effect on oil pressure the different filters and their design/media are providing in our engines because there's been some clear losers as far as oil pressure goes depending on filter type and engine mileage. Still an excellent article as far as filtering capability.

That being said... I've bought into the hype of Mobile 1 -302 and also use the ac delco pf1218...no complaints for either

[bigd65]

I agree with the majority ... AC or WIX. WIX is the only filter I use on my Harley Davidson

[Moloko]

The AC Delco filters are made by Champ, and are identical to the STP filters sold by Autozone, but the STP filters cost about $2 less a piece.

I run Napa Gold on everything I own.

[gmachinz]

I run either Mobil 1 filters or Purolator Pure 1 filters when I can. K&N is a good choice as well. I guess I should admit since I'm an Amsoil dealer I also would recommend their line but could be hard to find in some areas.

For the record on an extreme performance engine I use Amsoil but for everything else, Mobil 1 oil gets the nod. Film strength and rate of evaporation are the 2 critical aspects to judge an oil by....without getting too far of topic here.....lol

[superwade57]

Did you guys look at that test? Delco didn't do so well?... I use napa gold
