Which oil filter?

[Kclyatt]

I am amazed that the 6.2l filter from AC Delco (PF63E) is exactly identical inside and out to the Walmart cheap Super Tech ST 10575 (Bob is the oil guy).  Also there are 50/50 opinions on the quality of the E core filters and with so many options out there I am curious what is everyone using for their ride?

 

I currently am thinking going with the Purolator Boss PBL22500 based on cut open filter pics, specs and reviews. I want best filter for the engine/longevity especially with DFM and the AC Delco seems ok but what do others think?

I use the Amsoil filter.

I'm also using an amsoil filter, if you switch your oil and filter out every 5k miles i believe that any filter will be fine.

Wix Gold whatever-the-number-is.

Another friend suggested Wix/Napa gold and this is  right out of the package...overspray inspiring confidence that surprises me. Seems Mann-Hummel takeover has effected quality down in Mexico!

[AJMBLAZER]

Huh.  The couple I've used on this truck haven't looked like that but I'll keep an eye out.

Same overspray with the platinum...what are the odds?

ACDelco UPF-63R, the Ultraguard Gold.  These are built like the good AC Delco regular filters used to be, Non E-Core construction.  They are used in the gen III High Feature 3.6 V6 engines and can be used on the Gen 5 V6/V8 engines.

A good number of these filters are made by Champion Labs.  They have their own house brands like Luber Finer and Champ, but also provide to many name brands.  AC Delco, STP, etc. are all Champ Labs filters so I wouldn't be surprised if they do the Super Tech as well.  Champion Laboratories Inc.

AC Delco UPF63R w/ Amsoil Signature oil.  Just because of RockAuto, I will use whatever higher quality filter and don't obsess too much over it.  This year on the various cars I have used Napa Gold and Bosch also.  I have a stack of Bosch for the 3 Mazdas in the 'fleet'.

If paint overspray on metal filter body is a concern to you, I don't even want to know what other little things in your life you complain about.

Get a grip people.
