Wix, Napa Gold, Purolator, Baldwin, and (at one time) AC Delco. Pick one based on price and personal preference. I would not use any others. There, that's worth 2 cents.

 

I have had wix, purolator and one time only a AC delco filter fail on me and it was due to a factory defect on the filter rim, it was bent in letting oil flow right out of the filter. I currently am using a fram tough guard and haven't had a problem but refuse to use any of there other filters due to my belief that there poo. I am looking at changing my oil coming soon and am thinking about trying the K&N oil filter to see if it works as good as its air filters!!

 

have used K&n oil filters on my ZR2, not the first time I've heard a complaint about Fram ( I work in a auto parts store).

 

Alright well nobody said anything about bosch? I know fram is crap simply because its the only thing offered at walmart.. plus that cheapo grip they use never works for me. So I chose bosch simply because it was a bit more expensive for the quality.

134k miles on my blazer, dont want to ruin it now just because i used a cheapo filter.

Bosch filters used to be made by Champion Labs, but now is made by Purolator. The links I posted in the first post in this thread really would answer your questions... THIS PAGE in particular.

 

I Always use Acdelco filters, i have heard very bad things about fram.

 

I have tried every high end filter I can find here in Canada. The best result I have found is the K&N oil filter. It is like having a Hepa filter taking care of your oil. I notice my oil says translucent longer, does not have a burnt smell, and there is no small metal particles being trapped on my rare Earth magnet oil pan plug ( after market ). The worst filters I have used are the Canadian Tire Motormaster brand and the AC Delco.

 

After reading all these nightmare stories about Fram, I might justlook into switching filters. Good info Kyle.

 

I've used delco a couple times and had one fail (cracked along one side)so i've steered away from them kinda since. Used napa golds when I lived up in Page, AZ (napa was the closest store so i used them) and never had any issues. Used mostly Frams for a couple years after that (and before i moved to page) and i stopped using them because the seals would always leak in the last 5 i used. Switched to STP's and Mobil filters and havent had any problems with those.
