Default Oil filter brand question


Yesterday I went to an shop and asked for an oil filter for the C5 and they gave me an oil filter named "Purolator Premium Plus L24007" since I am not an professional in oil filters I would like to have some feedback about this filter any good or bad things with this brand. :confused:

Pewter99 gave you a good site. If you've decided on Puralator then use the PureOne. Its the best in their line and ranked about mid scale as oil filters go. Some of the top filters made for the C5 still remain the Delco UPF44, Mobil1, Amsoil, etc. However, they will cost you more then the PureOne. Depends on how much emphasis you place in preventative maintenance.

Stay tuned, another site is about to go where no test has gone before. Besides cutting the filters, they are measuring flow, filtering ability and bypass. This should be the definitive test on the internet and will pick up where the old mini-mopar test left off.
