Which oil filter do you use?

Featured Replies

Fram PH8A is a common filter size for older cars. AC Delco, WIX, Pennzoil, K/N, and many other companies make similar filters. I use Fram or WIX depending on my mood, and chage them with each oil change.

Here is a link to a website discussing Oil Filters. I have no connection to the study and post it only for informational purposes. Images take a while to load.

carl,

sounds like a 'decent' study. definitely interesting. i wonder how much of a difference it makes with 3k mile oil changes, but if i have the choice i'll probably look for mobil1 or purolator on sale.

I like the K&N filters (don't know exact numbers off the top of my head) and I always use Mobil1 oil.

in my pickup i use a graphite every third or fourth oil change. is that a waste of money or good idea?

I use Puralator , PURE ONE . :rambo:And I use Quaker State oil and have been for the past 50 yrs. with out a problem . Gary

I use the K&N oil filter myself. I have been putting in Castrol Synthetic, but I switched to Red Line. I have not been able to drive the car more than to the end of my block to see if there is any comparison between the two.

Another vote for the K&N filter. I also just started using redline race oil 40wt. Yet to drive it too much to make any comments but it seems to work. ;)
