Oil Filters?

Not sure if this has been discussed, seeing as I am pretty new to the forum...

 

Anyways, I am looking to change brands of oil filter on my 3100 this weekend when I do my oil change... I have used Fram since I got my license, however I am rather dissapointed in the quality and flow rate of oil lately from these filters... I had a Napa filter on once after my head gasket repair at the shop, and the engine tick on cold startup was very minimal and lasted only a minute on cold startup at 25-30 degrees... now that its getting cooler out like it was at that time, I noticed the normal 3100 tick lasting in excess of 3-4 min when cold started... any suggestions on a better brand of oil filter.

 

I was thinking AC Delco, is that any better?

I use whatever I can grip onto well enough. The oil filter on an L27 is a total bitch to get to. I've usually used the cheaper fram filters with the rough half of it so my hands don't slip, but past that I don't really think it will make a difference.

haha, fram war... thats funny... the only nice thing about it is the grip on the end for easier removal... but since a 3100's filter is easy to get to, no need to worry.

 

AC Delco it is... or spend the 14 bucks on a K&N oil filter :willynilly: no not on this car.

I personally use the Fram High Mileage with TRT filter, and 10W40 Valvoline Maxlife. I use the exact same thing in my Jeep with the 4.0L I6. I have no ticking problems from either of them.

Purolator or ac delco.For once and only once will i agree with irondog442 on the lx-5 oil filter is a bitch.

 

the LX5 oil filter is a cake walk... People just need to learn to purchase the correct tools for the job.. Thats why I own about 20 oil filter cap wrenches and the like. About to be 21 actually, I need to hit up the Toyota dealer for the new one for 06-up Toyota V6s

K&N oil filters are junk!

 

ac delco anything is always a wise choice.

 

Except the Chinese stuff. They've started outsourcing their parts. :rolleyes:

I used to use ACD filters until one of their e-core garbage filters almost took out the 305 in my camaro :motz2:

 

I've noticed them change back to the older good style, but that was enough for me to just goto puroilators or wix from now on.
