Which brand oil filter do you use?
Why do you think its good?

I've always used WIX. Good filter for the money I think.

I use regular ol Delco pf48 not 48e. I run whatever synthetic is on deal m1 edge or Penz and dump it at 4k so no need for a crazy expensive filter. I agree wix is a good one too.

Oh my, Dick. What a huge filter you have there. Bigger might be better, but what's the difference in price? Also has anyone tried the XP line of filters? If its only a few $$ more then I think it would be better.

They are the same price. It's for an impala, not a Ferrari.

I use AC Delco. Can't remember the model number, but it is double the size from the recommended filter.

Thank you, I love Wix filters and have been looking for a larger one. In the past I used one for a H2 until they discontinued it.
