Camaro filter size!!!

My Cobalt uses a cartridge, but I think it's pretty beefy -- probably close to the PF47 cannister that my Malibu uses.
I have noticed this as well, although my cartridge filter is on my GXP. A high quality cartridge is probably going to do as well or better than a large canister filter, so I wouldn't be worried.
Plus, it is a breeze to change now, so I keep a couple filters on hand so I can change when I feel like it without having to worry about the oil loss.

How small is small? Smaller than the PF 457 used in the Ecotecs?
They are about 2'' x 3'' and have a little over 100 sqin media.

I can just about hide the Subaru (honeywell) filter for our 09 Fos in my cupped hands.

It doesn't appear much bigger than 2x the size of an axle breather tube filter.

Well, they don't have the PureOne or a Mobil 1EP for the V6 Camaro yet, so I went with the regular Purolator over the AC Delco. I did notice they have a WIX and a K&N for it, though.
Do you guys think one of those would be a better choice next time over the standard Purolator?

no. puro classic has the same efficiency does it not? and it's half the price

I like the quality I continually see out of WIX, but if their filter isn't Made in USA and Purolator's is, stick with it.
I looked in the boxes of (2) consecutive Purolator filters for my model car and they didn't look half the quality of my, unfortunately, foreign-made WIX cartridge so I bought more WIX...

Testing has shown that there is less oil pressure fluctuations with smaller filters than larger ones on certain newer engines.

I have no idea why somebody would use a Purolator over the OEM if you can get it for about the same price.

I've used Purolator, AC, Wix, and STP. I like them all.

Because from what I have read, Purolator is a better filter than AC Delco. Pretty simple idea, actually

The V6 Camaro uses an AC PF2129 or Wix 57090. I was more impressed with the AC as it had more pleats and a slightly fuzzier media (I know, very scientific). I have not examined a Purolator and can't locate the Mobil1 M1C-254 for comparison.
My g35 uses a m1-108 it's like the smallest filter i've ever seen. same as the nissan 3.5 and 2.5 ones i think? it's so tiny but i've never actually seen a plugged oil filter so idk they prolly know what they're doing?

I read information here on this site. I have no idea why you would have such a problem with the choices of oil filters that I make, but thanks. Now move on.

If you semi-quote text in your argument, you have to footnote it OTW its just internet hearsay throwaway.
