What oil filter do you guys use?
I was using the K&N's but they are just to expensive.

Re: Oil Filter
Ac delcos form autozone... I alsot use XX52 (forgot the exact letters, so I put XX)
its oversized and car takes more oil. More filter, more room to filter, also helps use up that last .5, so its almost a complete 5 quart oil change instead of 4.5q
the stock size is xx47 though.Comment

Re: Oil Filter
Theres no way in hell, that an extra inch longer filter will hold half a quart. I used the 47s and used the full 5 quarts. Maybe a little over full, but at 3000 miles of leaking, and engine oil burning, it would always be perfect on full. Also, the 52 filter is too long, you hit a hard bump, that babys taking damage, and you maybe walkin.Originally posted by DAS BOOT<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2245261\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2245261</a> Green 1997, 105k, all stock except for Z28 front springs, Air shocks in the rear, home made coolant recovery tank, home made battery hold down.Comment

and I can gurantee that it won't hit, if you hit a hard bump. Believe me, my car has been through a million situations and never damaged it...Comment

Re: Oil Filter
It is all a matter of opinion. I have used Fram filters for the last 15 years and I have never lost an engine. So people hate them, I like them.Comment
