3400 Oil Filter

are there any better oil filters at the market? may be w/ bigger volume and less flow resistance?

i have to change her juice and i wondered if i can do somethin' good 4 her

I had a K&N Oil Filter for a while, until I ran into my grade 12 shop teacher in a parking lot. He asked me what I had in my car, I told him...and i mentioned the oil filter, he told me to go change it ASAP..and run stock...because apparently anything aftermarket will just let crap into your oil...Mind you this guy was a mechanic for 25 years...At Canadian Tire :P

I read an oil filter study on the Internet awhile back, and AC Delco was right up there in the top ranked filters. I NEVER buy Fram after seeing the study. I will have to see if I can find the link. I use Mobil 1 on my Cobra.

Found the link:

ok i dont understand that article, it just describes what inside the oil filters. it doesnt really have any ratings of how they perform.

if you read the articles it tells you the ups and downs..........

[-Alero-]

lol glad i didnt read it. it reminded me of one of Daytona's posts...........lol so much reading


so out of that article what was the top rated filter?

Here is the section of "filters to avoid" on there.

Stick with AC Delco and you'll be fine Ronin.

OT: Dont forget to change your fuel filter at least every 6 months. In Europe they get cloged faster because of the gas we use.

yay! fuel filter? i haven't done this for 2 years now x.X good idea :hide:

MMMM, I started using the K&N filter, but now I think I'm going back to AC Delco after reading this.

I just bought the K&N filter, I'll take it back and buy 4 Delcos, for the same price

Yeah, I always use the AC Delco filter on my cutlass, I like the price! If I can't get one of those, I get the Pure One from Advance Auto. I haven't changed the oil in the Alero yet, but will use AC on it until I do synthetic. Then it will be all Mobil 1!

yeah all mobile 1 for your oil is cool, because it says on the mobil 1 oil filter box, that its specifically designed and performs the best with mobil 1's fully synthetic oil.

I run Mobil 1 in the Ho as well, but I think I'll stick with the ACDelco Duraguard
