Don't want to beat a dead horse, but I figured I'd start a new thread on an old subject to see what the flavor of the week is for oil filters. I ran out of my AC Delco PF-59's and have to choose which filter to run next time around. I've considered the AC Delco UPF filters (not sure if it's 44 or 46), but also read of guys liking the K&N 2006 or the Mobil1 206 filter, as well as the Napa Gold which is a Wix filter. I really like the looks of the Amsoil filter, but it's pretty expensive, although I could buy a bunch of them online. I plan to start using Amsoil in the engine FWIW.

(Both the K&N and Mobil1 filters are readily available at the AutoZone a few miles from my apartment).

So whatcha's like and why?

 

K&N HP2006. Its got a 1" nut on the end to make for easy removal. That is my main reason.

 

I have always run the AC Delco until I lost my supply, then I ran NAPA Gold, but someone that had sold their truck gave me a K&N 2006 they had in their garage left over and I tried it, it seemed to me that the oil looked cleaner and not as black. It could have been a fluke or just me going crazy, but either way that was my experience. I now run NAPA Gold b/c they are cheaper, yet protect more than adequate.

 

Kevin, is that the short standard filter or the longer "extra capacity" filter? thanks.

 

i think the short filter is the 1007, the 2006 is the extra capacity if i remember correctly

 

ive been using wix ever since they discontinued the acdelco filter.

 

my oil filter is different for 2007 classic 5.3. does anyone know the part number for them? tried the older one and it dont fit my shaft is too big (diameter)

 

 

Try these:

Purulator - L 10060
Fram - PH 10060
Wix - 57060
NAPA - 7060
STP - 10060

 

I have the K&N HP1007 on my 04 Silverado. I like it the oil is always clean and the nut makes it even easier to install and remove.
