hoodilio Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 hey guys, what kinda oil filters do you believe/ from person experience, to be the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSMonteZ34 Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Good ol' AC Delco oil filters are good. More important is keeping with a strict maintenance schedule for your fluid changes. I noticed you have the 3100. Not sure just which filter you would use, but for the 3.4 there are two. The PF-52C filter is slightly longer, benefiting from more internal filtration material to keep that oil clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJB Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 I get the cheapest ones I can for my vehicles. To me theyre all the same. I usually get Powerflo's thru work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RedCutlassSL Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 i use an ac delco filter for a 3.4 on my 3100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 I usually get Powerflo's thru work. Work? Where? At Grease Monkey, here, we use those and there a Pureoilator counter-part. I use AC Delco, Powerflo or Pureoilator due company use and true filtering. All the Frams' I've seen have done a piss-poor job of filtering; whether air or oil. - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminator94 Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 My dad's 2000 Chevy Silverado has the 4.8L V-8 that uses....take a guess here....a PF-47!! I was pretty suprised by that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your dad's 4.8L has a PF47, he's got the wrong filter on it! It's supposed to take a PF59! Anyway, I use the SuperTech oil filters at Wal-mart. They work great! I'd use AC Delco, but Walmart quit carrying them. Fram is the worst filter you can buy, and funny thing is they charge more for them than any other brand.

hoodilio Posted May 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 wat is wrong wit Castrol oil, and i have tried K&N oil filter (they are awsome, i think they are alot better then anything i have used, but they r expensive, 10 bucks a piece) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPRACER Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 I use the Ac Delco PF52, and every third oil change I use a fram DG3980, Also a recent convert to mobil 1 synthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 I don't like Castrol because I don't like the company, although I used to use their oil exclusively. They were the first company to market non-synthetic oil as "synthetic" (i.e. Syntec). Buncha sleazebags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91GranSport Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Ha ha ha! I'm totally with you man. I started using Castrol Syntec on my first W-Body, an '89 Regal Limited coupe. I used it for about 40,000km until I traded my W-Body in for another vehicle. When I found out that Castol's Syntec oil wasn't a "true" synthetic I stopped using it. Now I only use Valvoline MaxLife 10W30 for the summer and MotoMaster 0W30 synthetic blend in the winter. As for oil filters I used MotoMaster Formula 1 oil filters. They have a 97% SPE rating. That's good enough for me. I don't like Castrol because I don't like the company, although I used to use their oil exclusively.

Brian P Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Delco PF52 or Purolator, as long as it's blue.... As for the Supertech, I bought one once and my engine started to tick lightly at cold startup, just like it would with Fran so I said screw it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I didn't think he was running the right oil filter either! Shawn, he showed me in his owner's manual even! For the 4.8L V-8 its a PF-47. Honest to god!
