I currently use Mobil1 5w-30 in my 08 Silverado with a Mobil1 filter, but I am thinking about going to a Wix at my next oil change. I'm not sure if it really matters between the two filters, but is one filter better than the othe when running Mobil1 oil? Should I stick with the Mobil1 or go with the Wix? Are their filter capabilities equal? The Wix is quite a bit cheaper than the Mobil1 and if it filters just as good or better, then I'm gonna go with that one. What oil filters do you guys/girls use?

Thanks guys.

Those 2 filters are great filters, I'd doubt you'd see I difference in either. Get whatever is cheapest.

I use AC delco filters in mine always.

I use AC delco filters in mine always.

:word: I always change the filter at 3500 miles, add more oil, then change the oil and filter again at 7000.

I use mobil 1 oil and filter. Just an FYI. I change them every 5,000 because its fully synthetic.

I think we covered this but M1 is not Fully Synthetic. M1 Extended Performance is.

Link? And Ill be getting extended performance for now on then.

I have used both filters and they are both good. On the last oil change I picked up an AC Delco at wally world because I didn't want to stop at another store to pick up the Mobil 1 filter. It all depends on how much you want to spend?

Many discussions on www.BobistheOilguy.com (goofy name, but #1 forum on the net where chemists discuss oil formulas)

and confirmed by our own Amsoil dealer.

I wish wal-mart carried my Oil Filter, they have PF46 and PF47 but no PF48 for the NNBS trucks :shrug: got to make a seperate stop now.

Fram Tough Guard also has a syn media within the filter like the M1 and others... PLUS you can score them if you shop the local stores smartly.

I use Mobil 1 with a NAPA Gold filter. Its just a rebranded WIX filter, but cheaper. I buy them by the case....its less hassle. There aren't many NAPA or WIX dealers around.

You can use a AC Delco Filter pn#12626224/UPF48R.It is the same filter that goes on the new ZR-1 Corvettes.

:hmm: do you have anymore info on this so I can do some reading. I don't like having to drive around town to get my PF48 AC Delco.

Its just when I think of putting a Fram product on my truck it's like :uhoh:

 

[MeanGreenZ71]

PF52 AC Delco always. Its cheap and approved by GM....I think :think:. I would think a WIX would be just fine too. As long as you change it at regular intervals any of the major brands are probably good enough.

 

[YNOT]

wix. i'm glad o'reilys bought out checker, so wix right by my house.

Check their site? :hmm: I just remember from reading it has a syn media. I bought five quarts of any weight Pennz Plat (great syn oil FYI and it was 5/50 for the Nazi kars) and that filter for the Z

I just get whatever combo is typically on sale. At times it's M1 and their filter, but mostly Pennz Plat + Fram Tough Guard.

Memory fails what shit I have uses M1 anymore, it's just not that good for the cost. The 745i turbos are going to be on Redline most likely, currently on cheapo 20/50. I THINK the Z has M1 @ 0/40 for quicker oil pressure and better film at high oil temps.

I have no experience with Mobil 1 oil filters as you would not find them in my area.

But its not correct they are a true 100% synthetic media filter. Its a blend of synthetic and fiber (cellulose). This is right from their website.

Removes more contaminants than conventional filters using an advanced synthetic fiber blend filter media.

Its begs the question, how much of it is synthetic media? 5%, 10%, 40%, ??? No one knows and they don't say.

At the present time AMSOIL is the only company making a 100% synthetic media (not a blend) oil and air filters.

Ea Oil Filters are made with full synthetic nanofiber technology, making them the highest efficiency filters that are available for the auto/light truck market. Guaranteed for 25,000 miles or one year when used in conjunction with AMSOIL motor oil in normal service.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with the Mobil 1 oil filters. In fact they are much better than the average commodity oil filter.

I run wix filters in all my vehicles with mobil 1 and have had great luck. Any filter is better then the fram garbage

Have not heard one filter mentioned here that is troublesome. Find a sale and pick up any of the above and change at regular intervals and they will do a good job. My '06 5.3 has 36k on it and has had 5 different filter brands on it.

Best advice of all regarding hype, myth, and BS sales pitch.
