First oil filter you bought?

[GMFan]

Supertech ST3614 filter at Walmart for $2.xx along with Mobil 1 5w30 for my 2001 Saturn SL.

Would have been in the early 60s on my Dad's 58 Pontiac or my 51 Chevy. Was probably a Purolator or Fram along with some straight 30 weight, of course. My dad was in the Air Force, so I probably would have done it on a lift at the base auto hobby shop -- my second home!

Orange can

First oil filter I bought was in the 1970's. For my mom's car. No clue what filter, or what oil was used. Who can remember that far back?

 

[MVAR]

First for myself was a Napa filter for the 289 in my old 66 Mustang. Don’t remember if it was a gold or silver. Oil was Napa 20/50 or Chevron Supreme 20/50. Used both & don’t remember which went in first.

Mobil 1 oil filter

 

[Pterostylis]

A Ryco Z172 close to 20 years ago. I still daily drive the car it was purchased for.

 

[MrJayhawk]

It was a Fram PH8A if I recall correctly for my 74 Mustang II with a V6. It was tight clearance between engine and wheelwell. For grins, I just looked on Fram’s website and they show a XX16 now for filter.

 

[walterjay]

It was always Fram for my 65 Mustang.

Yup … when men were men - and Fram was Fram …

Back when Fram was Honeywell. Dad and I ran hundreds of those tough guards.

 

[Electromotive]

Hastings oil filter (with the "tough guy logo") from a smalltown Western Auto store for my newly acquired used 77 Marquis Brougham 460 equipped land yacht.

 

[WylieCoyote]

Fram PH30 in 1986.

So why the change in your story?

First oil filter you ever bought

I first bought a WIX for my 88’ Cutlass Ciera “iron duke” 4cylinder. What was the first oil filter you ever bought? happy Saturday BITOGERS 🇺🇸🇨🇦🍻☮️🤟🏻

Cause my dad drove that car for work and his Dakota in winter. I did drive the Ciera more as the Sinbird I gave to grandma. Forgot I started similar thread also. No spring chicken anymore.

Weren't they made by Bendix before Honeywell?

 

[Delta]

Fram PH3387 for my '87 Olds Delta 88 with the 231ci 3.8L. Think I bought Catrol HM 10w40 in the green bottle along with it.

 

[Patman]

I was 16 years old (in 1986) when I did my first oil change, on my 1979 Mustang. I used a Fram orange can, and probably paid less than 2 bucks for it! I know that I used Quaker State 10w40 for my first oil change too. After that I was a Castrol XLR user for a few years.

 

[FlyingVan]

It was probably a Fram orange can for my 1981 VW Rabbit. Either Fram or STP from Walmart (Before they introduced the Tech2000 filters that eventually turned into Supertech.)

 

[Maddog3355]

Hastings was the popular brand at our parts store back then along with Valvoline oil.
