I'm planning on doing my oil change for my Duramax LML this weekend, so looking at locally available filters. Last year, I used a Denso First Time Fit ordered through RockAuto. It won't be here in time for when I want to do the oil change if I ordered another now.
Oil will be Rotella T6 5W-40, and OCI according to OLM, or 1 year, whichever I hit first. (This coincided exactly last year to the truck going into winter "hibernation").
I have to chose from Fram ExtraGuard PH9100, which I understand to be the current incarnation of the OCOD. Quaker State QS9100, which I understand is Purolator. Hearing lots of "tearolator" posts here. Some Wix choices (which I now understand is M+H, which Purolator is also part of). A couple of others as well.
Here's the list and price. Looking for comments on what to pick, and why.
- Quaker State QS9100 $6.96 (sale)
- Fram Extra Guard PH9100 $10.18
- Napa Platinum 47202 $15.83
- Fram Ultra Synthetic XG9100 $16.99
- K&N Performance Gold HP3003 $17.99
- Mobil 1 Extended Performance $19.99
- AC Delco PF2232 $20.71
- Napa Gold 7202 $22.40
Yes, curiously, Napa Platinum is cheaper than Napa Gold. I am not a fan of the OCOD. The teraolator stories have me concerned, but then I have used the QS filters on my van many times in the past. Napa Gold is my usual go to, but Wix ties to M+H are also concerning. Don't know how Platinum compares to the Gold. I have no familiarity with K&N or M1, and I think AC Delco is Purolator is well? Fram Ultra I think is the "good" Fram from what I hear.
Interested to hear comments on these choices.
