Oil Filters- What do you Use?

ford390gashog · Nov 22, 2011

1734 Napa Gold or Fl1995 and when in stock I run the Donaldson E core filters.

I buy from filter barn http://www.filterbarn.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=PH3786 pretty cheap prices and free shipping over 100.00!

Isn't Napa Gold just rebadged Wix?

FWIW, The FL-1995 is only about $10 at walmart....

Save you from "$20 filters"...

Darn it now u got me thinking about giving Walmart money! Makes you wonder how that works that I paid $23 for that filter at my local stealer, but they can sell it for $10'ish and still profit.

I run the FL1995 as well, but have ran napa gold, K&N, Purolator. K&N has the nice nut on the end but the Purolator had a nice sand paper like finish so even covered in oil it was easy to grip. Ill probably run a Wix or N&N next change but always the PS filter

DON'T DO IT! Fleet filter has them for $12.28 each.

If you order more than 500 they are only $9.83! :rotflmao

I bought 40 filters from Uhaul, they are wix brand, and I got them for guess how much?

That's right $2 each......

You guys need to learn how to go shopping for volume discounts.

I got a case of fuel filters for $3 each to from a different source a while back. Ya, I know, I am a hoarder.

Get mine from IH dealer, there WIX, fl1995 size. $11.38

Gary79F250 · Nov 22, 2011

Wix, Napa/wix, Baldwin or Fleetguard. I'm partial to Wix but it all depends what I have on hand.

Baldwin B7039. It's readily available to me at a good price.

Motorcraft filters are made by purolator, so if they are cheaper, buy them. I look for purolator filters, whether they are off brands by them or puralator themselves.

IMHO, they are the best cost effecient filter out there. I have been noticing in my area that they are getting harder to find though.

Just cause it says WIX doesnt mean its the best. I saw a comparison of 20 different series of filters, and wix made some good ones, and some that werent any better than a fram. Some of the fram grey boxed filters(tough gaurd series I think) were actually pretty good....

DO NOT GO TO WAL-MART. Advance Auto sells the Motorcraft FL-1995 ford like $12 I think. I run the FL-1995 and Rotella Full Synthetic 5W-40 (It must not taste as good as the 15W-40 because my truck doesn't drink any now ;Sweet

I use the NAPA Gold (WIX) for a PSD on my 91.

BenjaminN · Dec 14, 2011

Baldwin B134 because its all my local hardware store carries!

Exekiel69 · Dec 14, 2011

I use fleetguard, but they where not on Your list.
I hope it makes a difference, when I talked to My supplier He said they are all made by the same company :dunno
