Default Which Oil Filter Are You Using?

Delco was very popular when the C5s first came out, but I don't remember the number. I see Mobil1 and K&N are both available in the catalogs.

Trying to decide which one to go with in the C6.

ACDelco pf46

This is the factory recommended filter, no reason to deviate. People have used a wide variety of different materials, sizes... I just don't see the need to stray from the OEM.

They come with a pf44 but that is now only a production filter, the pf46 is the corresponding service filter.

I figure they recomend mobil one oil....can't go wrong with their filter too. It gets great reviews. Plus as an added bonus it's expensive too

You may want to check out Canton's spin-on cartridge filters.

I like the idea of no bypass and great filtration.
