Title: What brand oil filter do you use?
Post by: N PRGRES on March 19, 2025, 05:47:37 AM: Just a general topic of discussion. I typically use K&N but used a royal purple one last year. I have no loyalty I just want the best filtration possible.

I trust they use something moderately good, after all they built the motor :grin: My son has a 2004 GTO and was having a similar discussion on a forum geared towards those cars. Guys were giving him a hard time for having the shop do an oil change. We stopped by Autozone and got a price for the oil and filter. It was almost $80. The shop charges $59. to do the job.

Maybe, but it only needs to last till the warranty expires, then they don't care

Pontiac 400 use PF 30

Olds 403 use PF45

Don’t forget to run conventional oil with a high zinc content if you have a flat tappet cam , synthetic oils will wipeout your cam lobes.
