Truck Oil Filters, which one do you use?
 
Just wondering what oil filters (Brand & Number) you guys are using with these trucks.

I changed my oil & filter at the 400 mile mark before a long trip and I'm at the point now where I'm going to change it again. The 1st oil change I just used a stock AC/Delco part, what ever it said in the manual.

I'd like to use a longer one, Mobil One to be exact, is it the same as the F-Body cars? I use a M1-206 on my Camaro SS.

i used to use delco until they took the larger filter off of the market...now i use WIX

Napa Gold = Wix, I'm out of Delco's so next oil change will be Napa Gold

BTW: ignore the "anti drainback" stuff, on our trucks the filter hangs straight down, unless you anticipate your truck doing a couple cartwheels while you are gone the oil isn't going to be draining from the filter :eyes:

good grief! an oil change on your truck must cost around 40-45 bux?

huh? 6 quarts of mobil 1 is roughly 25 then mobil1/k&n filters are 10+... what hookup do you have?

silver-mod-o 05-18-2006 12:02 PM

:secret: .... no, I use the mobil 1 filter -OR- the K&N filter. I use Castrol 10-40 synthetic blend...

Good Oil & frequent changes = Cheap Maint, longevity

IMHO
