GMC Sonoma Oil Filter?

[zmeli]

A Co-worker wants to know what oil filter to use.
I told Her to stay away from Fram. She shops at Auto Zone. without spending to much money?

Thank you.

AC Delco or STP would be my low $$$ choices.

Wavinwayne,

What's your high $$$ choice at Autozone? Or is there one there?

STP? is that a Chanpion labs Filter?

 

[zmeli]

I used the search function. STP is a Champion

I think Auto Zone carries AC and Value Craft, in addition to Fram. I think the Value Craft is made by Purolator and a good filter for the money, or maybe that is the Total Grip at advance Auto. In the past, Champion had a great following here, but there are mixed reports of their new Ecore design. The negative people may simply distrust anything new or inexpensive. My Chevy truck gets a ST 3950 from Wal-Mart, $2.07.

I'd use the AC Delco filter. It's pretty good for the low cost.

AC Delco. If it's the 4.3L V6, it's the PF-52. In Motorcraft, its the 402.

The Valucraft filter is made by Champion.

I was going to write the same thing!

 

[Triple_Se7en]

Sorry Dave!

The ACs, Wixes and Motorcrafts are the best buys in the industry. You don't need those high percentages of micro-filtration & an emptier wallet with passenger vehicles doing regular OCIs.

Motorcraft makes filters for GM vehicles?

 

[Triple_Se7en]

Yeah Blaze... I just found this out from a kind poster here. Your 4.3 takes the Motorcraft 402.

 

[BlazerLT]

Good to know.

To bad no one sells them here.

Would be a good laugh to go into a ford dealer and ask for a GM vehicle filter.

 

[Triple_Se7en]

I'm stickin' with the AC in my 3.5 L5 Colorado. It's a stand-up & comes with no ADBV & I'm perfectly happy with that.

 

[BlazerLT]

Yea, too bad the AC delco in Canada are not the same as the states or I would do the same.

I stick to Quaker State filters for mine seeing they are just a rebadged Purolator Premium Plus.

I have been using Purolators recently and they seem OK.
