Mine are either ACDelco or NGK, cant remember which. Either way no complaints.
Chevrolet parts reviews
A brand new Camaro 1SS 1LE will be $45k. It's the best performance bang for buck on the market and comes pretty much built for track days- it has an extra oil cooler, transmission fluid cooler, great brakes with good street/track pads (they're basically the same as Ferrodo DS2500), and the alpha platform has unbelievable potential. The motor is easy to deal with since it's NA (linear power curve, still makes great tq at lower RPMs) and the eLSD+traction control tuning is extremely competent. I beat the absolute shit out of mine on track 1-2 times a month and it never skips a beat even in the disgusting Florida summer heat.
2017 owner here. I purchased my car 2 years ago. I'd say it's pretty durable to me. I've traveled many states and do delivery driving for 2 years now. She has never broken down on me. She takes abuse really well.
I just bought the Tricos from Rock Auto. Fit perfectly. Snap. Done.
Replacing the filter is a pain. I have a 2013 Traverse. But I have found a way to do it without spilling oil or making a mess.
I will say after switching to mobil1 in one of my rigs it cleaned out a hell of a lot of shitty carbon deposits and crap in the valvetrain. Looked nearly new when I pulled the valve cover at 210 thousand miles.
Selling the SS was a god send for this. It ate a set of PS4S's every 3 months. 16 tires went to it every year, then the Lotus took a set, so before the E38, that was 20 tires a year.
I did a change on my moms 2011 Malibu last year. She barely drives and we live in northeastern MA so after 9 years and 21k miles later they just rusted out. Pads and rotors especially the rear parts. I used Wagner pads and rotors and been using them for many years with great results.
My biggest issues with older trucks: 1) Emissions choked stock engines and/or the TBI motors in the GM trucks which eat valve stem seals 2) Brakes. My Dad's '88 C2500 never felt like it had enough brake when towing a reasonable load, even with trailer brakes.
I've seen it twice, both had alternators. The first was a Chevy truck. I was standing right there but didn't speak up fast enough and it took out the alternator.
