Non OEM Ecotec Oil Filter
Friday, April 27, 2007 6:08 PM
Hey,
I was just wondering if any of the Ecotec guys were running anything other than the OEM oil filter ??

Im switching to Mobil 1 full synthetic and i was wondering if the regular filter from GM is ok to use.

I have a 2200, but I use a K&N Oil Filter, Because AC Delco wasnt available. Anything But Fram!

i only use AC Delco filters now in my ecotec. the fram ones seem to "twist" kinda like a crushed air filter. i don't trust them. plus the dealer filters are the same price.

ok newbie...learn something about the motors before spouting off. the 2200 and the ecotec are completely different.

Only Baldwin filters and hastings filters use the crooked pleat material Chevy originaly specified. They're expensive, hard to find, and its a really good bet they are way higher quality than needed. But hey, only the best for my sensibly priced econo-box.
