Topic: Oil Filters.....

[em ekohc]

I was going to change the oil in my AV for the first time and went to pick up a filter and noticed it was kinda small. I know in the S2K world you could get an oversized filter for more oil capacity/ more filtering element. And wondered if anyone does the same for AVs? And which brand everyone likes or dislikes....

They make a dual filter remote setup for these trucks. I myself pay my mechanic to change mine. It's about $25 - $30 and I stay clean. Also, I have it documented for my warranty.

I have never heard of installing an oversized filter.  As for brand, I put nothing other than Mobil1 in both my Avalanches.

I use the Purolator almost 100% of the time.

I only run AC filters, and run Castrol Syntech in the AV and the Nova

[Donnie1]

Usually run Fram Tough Guard because they don't have the others at Wal Mart

Same here and use Mobile 1 oil

I don't know, I just ask my mechanic to change it when he changes the oil.  I don't want to mess with the disposal of the old oil.

While I'm not picky about the filter, I am about the oil.  Redline full synthetic, 5w 30.

I use to always run the AC Delco oil filter but recently have been using the Fram Extra Guard filter along with Pennzoil full Synthetic 10W 30.

Exactly the same for me, except my second choice is WIX.
Purolater Pure One.

They make a regular Purolater filter, but you need to get the Pure One Filter

FYI - Napa Gold is a Wix filter.

Forgot about that.

Mobil 1 filter and Syntec

[maverick1974]

I like the Delco, but have been getting the buy 5 qts and get a purolator filter free deal.

Looks like most people are running the Mobil 1... I havent raised the truck to see if a larger filter would even fit but just decided to ask to see if anyone had tried already.

K&N filter for me and castrol oil
