Oil filters

[Orcus79]

So while trolling around youtube after a crank call was recorded and posted I cam across this video.

good info on quicky lube places and oil filters. IF this isn't enough to make you spend the couple of extra bucks for that WIX or Napa gold, park your car. I don't know what the second filter is but the first one is a dead give away.

exactly what sarge has been tellin us all along about fram.....proof is in the pudding

[COJO_24]

1st is a fram....i know that but what is the second and third one???

[Orcus79]

Unknown as to what the second one is, the thrid one is a Napa I believe.

Looked like first POS was Fram for sure...cardboard crap filter doesn't filter diddly....2nd one looked like a STP...but not sure....he had the label turned around....but it looked like an STP filter.....third one was a NAPA Gold.....

Which filters do you prefer Sarge?

I guarantee you that I would go after a damn place that strips out my oil plug hole and tries to pull that crap!!!

Napa Gold filters are what I use now. That, AC, or Wix.

I think Mobil 1 filters are okay, but overpriced, and definitely no better than Napa Gold.

Amsoil/NAPA/AC Delco/WIX

Amsoil/NAPA/AC Delco/WIX

I might have to try Amsoil filters. Maybe a package deal?

[Sarge]

Great filters....my UOA's reflect it...CompSyn ( sponsor here) can hook you up with the preferred customer and you get like 20% off everything Amsoil has

i run k&n on my ta. id like to know what sarge thinks of that? is it good or bad. the 2nd one looked like a valvoline to me.

[hoss 2000 z-28]

What Fram is selling is unethical. It only resembles an oil filter.

They are expensive but I've been using the K&N HP-2006 extra capacity filter for the past 2 years with Royal Purple 10w-30.

[0verkill]

thats the same filter i use but i run red line oil. i know that royal is crap.

[hoss 2000 z-28]

Funny, I read the same thing about Redline.

This thread is about to get jacked! LOL

[0verkill]

Redline>Royal Purple

I didn't want to do it.... But here is a pretty comprehensive Timken test (bearing vs race) to compare load and friction scar with each oil sample. Royal Purple is pretty impressive in this test but in a motor the Used Oil Analysis is the real measure of how effective an oil is in your own application.

Lmao. Ask Sarge how he feels about the Timken test. Royal Purple too for that matter.

What about the Fram doubleguard or step up and Purloator (step up)? How are Reg AC Delco?
