I'll be using one on this oil change, but I was curious if any of you guys have used them before. And yes, I do mean an OIL FILTER, not an AIR FILTER, or an OILED AIR FILTER.

 

I use them on my LS1 vehicles, the "Gold" Series, has a 1" hex on it to use a socket to take it on and off

granted, our cartridge filter wont have that, but they seem to be a good filter for me.

 

Used one on my first oil change. Seemed well made.

 

I sell KNN, Fram and AC Delco and I just use the Delco.

None are bad all are good and if anything goes wrong GM can not use the filter against me. Just my take on it.

 

I bought one for my next oil change. I got it at the K&N web site..rather pricey IMHO. I've used Fram in the past. I'm using Mobil 1 10-30 oil. The car gets 7-10,000 miles between oil changes according to DIC down to 30%.

 

The SS manual calls for 5w-30 synthetic.

 

Old Lar doesn't have an SS, but should still be using 5W30, just doesn't have to use synthetic.

 

My bad..I'm using 5-10 in the HHR, 2.4L in my HHR. 10-30 in another car..(I had just bought new filters for that car).

 

Has anyone cut open a new K&N oil filter to see why they are [rather pricey]
I have and use WIX or NAPA same filter

 

No need to cut it open. Just open the lid of the box it comes in... and look down.
