Oil Filter Options?

If the UPF44 is not available at Pep Boys or Autotrack (whoever), what are you guys installing?

TIA

Re: Oil Filter Options? (cisco)

I have no problem using the "regular" filter. So long as you are not going for the extended oil change intervals, I believe the standard filter is fine. That being said, I still use the UPF when I do the change. Some people call me ****. I think I'm just an ****. :lol:

cisco,

If you can't find the UPF44 (which are getting rare these days) I'd go with the Mobil 1.

I went to the gmpartsdirect and was going to place an order for 6 filters, till I noticed that the shipping and handling charges would be $57.70. :U
What has been your experience?

I hope that is the total not just the shipping and handling. If that's your total it is about right. $10 per filter delivered to your door. I'm not sure how much better the UPF filters are but I bought 2 cases just for insurance. :seeya

Re: Oil Filter Options? (01Pewter)

The http://www.gmpartsdirect.com shipping on the oil filters was in error and has been corrected. I contacted them to see what the problem was with the shipping charge.
Go to http://www.gmpartsdirect.com and enter the part no. 25329389 for the details on cost. $49/six pak

Go to this Forum Mall to LAPD. They have the UPF44 Delco oil filters in stock. Go to the group purchase section. I think they are advertised there. :chevy :chevy :chevy :chevy :chevy :chevy :chevy

That's who I would recommend, I bought 2 cases (12) when I heard they were going away and my cost to my door was $103.
