In using Mobil 1 the weakest link is the filter.The Fram extra guard from what I've read in studies is not the quality of Mobil 1 filters or GM .

Oh ,sorry I didn't say welcome

Welcome to the CAC. Based on all the filter tests I have read, I would never use a Fram filter.

Just ducky.

I use purolator filters. When doing research, I learned that the smaller the micron size for how much the filter lets through is not always the best filter.

Welcome! Where in NJ are you from?:cool

Stay away from cheap filters, they are cheap for a reason. I have cut apart frams and AcDelco's huge difference. Stick with AcDelco or other high quality filter such as K&N, Wix, etc...

Never use fram after reading the info on them and fortunately never have put one on my corvettes. I use Mobil 1, AC Delco, K&N, and Wix filters. Never had a problem. Some have said that the bottom of the K&N filter with the nut on it will hit the pavement. Never had the problem and it sure makes it easy to remove and install. Just did the 02 last Friday with the K&N.

I use K&N for the quality and ease of installation and removal.




While waiting for LT4man, save the wave

Fram is a poor choice in filters, IMO.

You can't beat ACDelco filters for the best combination of price and performance. Also good are Wix filters.

If you want a premium oil filter the Mobil 1, the Bosch and the K&N are all good.

As always Hib is on the money.

Googled oil filters and the best were just as Hib has suggested.

I get mine from napa cause it said its made by wix.

GM's warranty's newer vehicles 4-5 years and 100K with A/C Delco oil filters. They are confident of the powertrains and filters. BTW i have a service truck 2000 with 255K with no internal repairs and uses 1 qt oil to 3000 mi. I would say A/C filters are good.

WIX are rated very well. They are called NAPA/Gold at Napa.

Delco has outsourced filter production. Quality depends on the contractor. I don't have the same confidence that I used to have with AC.
