Wix or ACDelco

sqzbox · 11-18-2012, 09:06 AM

WIX, OR NAPA GOLD. both have the anti drainback valve and oil preure builds faster. hot or cold. I won't ue anything else.

This. I've used Pennzoil filters and I like them too. Wix and Napa golds come first though!

I use the ac delco filters on all my GMs

Will this fit 1984 GMC 350 engine?

I just checked Summit website and yes it does fit--I ll be ordering one of these -bigger = more filtration. But I still like Wix filters

Wix number for the long (2 quart) filter is 51794. I use the Baldwin filter B7 version of this.

It gets cold here in Indiana! I ued to fire up my 2 trucks and wait for the pressure to build. After reading the facts on wix and napa gold (wix makes napa gold filters) I decided to switch and the presure builds right off the bat. click on the link and notice and see for yourself the NO's that ac offers.
I have had good results with wix and napa. as soon as I start the engine the pessure buils imidiatly unlike any other filter I've ever used. It's your choice,

**hatzie** · 11-18-2012, 12:57 PM

Baldwin B1428. Made in the US by Baldwin. Same or better price and consistent quality.
GM V8 Gas engines Baldwin B6.

bigblock73 · 11-18-2012, 01:19 PM

Wix or AC for me

beamn7 · 11-18-2012, 04:54 PM

Used to always be a delco guy, now run a Mobil 1 filter after reading the info on the link. Been running Schaeffer oil for a couple years after working with some fleets that started running it.

wyattglock · 11-18-2012, 06:25 PM

Amsoil EA series filter. Best filter I have found. AC Delco would be a real close 2nd.

GM-power · 11-18-2012, 06:42 PM

I know fram sucks, but according to that list the xtended guard scored good. Anyone run this filter?

I was really surprised about that too, that filter gets really close to the $15 Royal Purple and Amsoil filters and it only costs $8. That's the same as what O'reilly's charges for the WIX filter I use that didn't do near as good. This filter may be what I buy for my next oil change.

thesickc10 · 11-18-2012, 06:47 PM

fram uses paper inside. i use k&n also. They have a nut for a socket right on the bottom which makes it simple to remove.

S10Fan · 11-18-2012, 11:23 PM

A C Delco PF-1218

**78 Big10 454** · 11-19-2012, 03:28 AM

Whatever is on sale. Of course, you're asking a guy that changes the oil in his square every two or three years, whether it needs it or not.

No, I mean 2-3 years. I've had my '78 since new and I have about 160,000 miles on it. Which means I don't drive it too much. The 454 has proven to be darn near bullet-proof.

bigd65 · 11-19-2012, 07:17 AM

Honestly, if you change oil often and regularly,we put 190,000 miles on my wife's 97 expedition ( notice I didn't say the F word ) on WALMARTS SUPERTECH OIL AND FILTER, before we gave it to my daughter and she traded it in. Ran just like new....
