Oil filter Wix or AC DELCO

Get the afm tuned out. And use ONLY full synthetic oil and a ac Delco filter. Mine has 232,000 and has been super reliable and still runs like new

Buy WIX, never go back.

I started using WIX/Napa Gold about 2 years ago for all our vehicles, including the German ones (BMW & VW). Have had no issues and after I learned that they were owned by Mann I stopped caring.

7 Qts. Mobil-1 5W-30 Standard Full Synthetic, 500 mL bottle Rislone Engine Treatment, ACDelco PF61E. That's what I've used for all of my oil changes I've done on my 2008 and I've had absolutely no problems.

OEM AC Delco

Wix XP for over 100k. I used to work at a NAPA auto care center and we never had issues with the Napa gold’s

Wix probably beats oem. They a great brand.

My L5P gets better mileage than my 16 5.3. I do my own oil changes. Cost me about 80$ for full synthetic and wix filter.

I'll say the only issue I've ever encountered with Wix filters when they come into the shop (dealer) is that they seem more prone to cavitate/collapse in the center of the filter than OEM; that's it. Most of the time they are completely fine. I've yet to see an OEM filter collapse in the same way. I'm not sure if the sidewalls of the pleats are not as stiff for some reason, but yeah. That's my anecdotal experience with them over the years of oil changes.

I have a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L with a fresh oil change and properly torqued filter. When it gets below zero and I cold start it, my oil filter loosens itself enough to where oil leaks out when starting. I have to crawl underneath and tighten it by hand every time. This has never happened until this year.
