Oil filters

There are a number of decent filters that will work. Mobil-1, NAPA, Purolator are all good filters. Just stay away from Fram, Pennzoil, and the low end (cheap) filters.

AC DELCO UPF 44 - GM high performance filter - better filtration than stock and inexpensive. Forum vendors have them for about $50.00 per case of 6 shipped. Been using for 5 years and no oil problems.

I just changed to Wix filters in my high mileage regularly autocrossed engine, and saw about a 5-8 psi increase in oil pressure. This is consistent with others that have coverted to the Wix filters. Haven't heard any complaints about poor filtration, and when I change my oil next time I'll get a report from Blackstone labs; we'll see if they have any comments about it.

I have had this filter for a couple of years on the Z06. I like it. But then I am somewhat **** about engine condition. I even use a kitchen strainer when draining the oil pan to make sure no large metal pieces exit the crankcase.

IIRC...NAPA filters are just rebranded WIX filters...just a little cheaper.
Can anyone confirm?? That is all I have used on all of my vehicles.
