Hello
I'm going to order some oil filters from Rockauto and I need some help.
https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1214378,parttype,5340 Link doesn't seem to be working....
I use my Olds Delta 88 '80 as my daily driver, and I use Mobil Delvac 1400 10w-30 in my engine. My oil change interval is 7000km (~4400miles).
I live in Finland and basically all filters you can find here for US made cars are WIX or ACDelco. Those filters are very expensive too. One internet store has WIX filter for 13.50€ (~15$). I can get one WIX or ACDelco from my local dealer for 10 euros.
Thats why I have started to think I should order oil filters straight from US. I have calculated that even after huge shipping cost, customs duty and Finlands 24% VAT, I can still get cheaper filters from US than Finland.
In Rockauto, there is huge selection of filters. Which one would be good for me?
I have used Mann-Filter in my Euro-cars and I have liked them. Mann-Filters are always black in here. Is that Mann-filter fake or why it's white colored? It's pretty cheap too for Mann-filter, usually here Mann-filters are best and most expensive filters.
ACDelco is good brand too, but I have read horrorstories about new E-core design. I had one PF61E AC-delco. I don't know how it performed, I never opened it. There is PF61F filter in Rockauto. Are those good quality filters with no e-core?
