Recommendations?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

...just wondering if there are any difference with brands (the quality and function) as far as with breathers and pcv breathers? Autozone sells some for a decent price, but what do you guys use or recommend??

Wix oil filters is my only recommendation on that stuff..

MARKDTN · 02-10-2011, 09:15 AM

I only use Delco or Wix if no Delco is available-pcv, oil and fuel filters. For air filters either Delco, Wix, or K&N.

For a PVC, any one from your local auto parts store is OK. For oil and air filters, Wix (NAPA Gold) is the only brand I use.

I dunno really. Nascar uses them I believe, my dad runs em. Ive heard good things about em, so I recommended them.

swamp rat · 02-11-2011, 12:17 AM

I learned about Wix when i was in Diesel school back in the mid 80's, got to see it and a fram ph8a side by side, hands down i have never run a ph8a since, even still had one in my garage and still sits collecting dust..

dixietruck71 · 02-11-2011, 12:38 AM

i agree with wix or K&N for all filter products, but as far as a simple pcv valve go's i dont think it really matters, its just a way for the engine to vent the crank case. its not a filter really. just my opinion though.

I was thinking of using those chrome breather PVC system instead of the regular PVC...any opinions on the chrome version??

cooter472 · 02-11-2011, 09:15 AM

Wis has more material per square inch and has a drain back valve and if you have ever purchased a Napa premium filter that is a Wix filter in a Napa box.

CEE1NG_RED · 02-14-2011, 12:24 AM

OK...so what breather PCV (passenger side) and breather cap (driver side) do you all use?? Wix does not make it? Autozone/Kragens only over Spectre. I dunno if that brand is any good. If not, where do you guys get yours from? Summit? Jegs? Napa? If so, what brand?

FYI: I'm looking into a chrome cap cover type (PCV and Breather cap). LMK.
