My Buick Park Ave can use any of these sizes of filters...
Wix 51036, Wix XP 51036XP
Baldwin B35-S
Purolator L24011, Purolator One PL24011
Fram Endurance, Fram Racing
What other filters should be on this list?
I'm looking for filters with filtration efficiency similar to Purolator One (15 microns nominal), good anti-drainback valve, good bypass valve, coil spring (no leaf spring), good flow and capacity.
A nice bonus would be if the can is thicker than a Purolator One can to help can withstand flying gravel hits when driving on gravel roads.
I've always used Wix 21 MC nom, or Baldwin 18 MC nom. I now realize I can get more efficient filtration for the same or less money from Purolator and others.
I'm trying to compile a list of contenders that are good, hopefully at a decent price. I'd prefer the price to be under $15 per filter.
The Purolator and Purolator One seem like strong contenders, but I wish they had a thicker/stronger can.
How good are these filters? Valvoline, Mobil One, Oreilly Microgard, Walmart Supertech? I think some of those might be disqualified due to having a leaf spring.
I'm open to considering other brands.
I change my oil once every 3-5 years, which is less than 1500-2500 miles 50/50 city highway. My car is parked in a partially climate controlled (but energy efficient) garage. Depending on time of year, my garage temp varies from 50-60F winter to 65-75F summer. So never a cold start below 50F. Rarely a cold start below 65F.
I changed my Maxlife Syn 5w30 oil this week at 3.5 years, 1747 miles. The old oil was medium brown. Not black at all. It almost looked like new. I switched from Maxlife Syn to Blend to hopefully stop or slow a minor drip. I replaced my old Baldwin B35-S filter with a new B35-S because I'd already bought it weeks ago. B35-S only filters 18 microns nominal. Purolator One filters 15 microns nominal.
I'm asking for suggestions to compile a list of good filters that are reasonable prices (under $15). Purolator One PL24011 costs $9.83 at Amazon or Walmart.
