My oil change is coming up soon on my 2011 DTS. I personally decided to use Full Synthetic every 5K miles.
Since I bought the car a year ago, I'd been using a Purolator Boss filter as it was included with the 5Qt oil jug I bought.
I still have a Purolator Classic L25288 laying around from a previous oil change special. I would have used it, but I delayed it since I got the BOSS filters for free.
Would there be any trouble using it? I read here about the tearing issue and decided to prioritize "other" filters over this one. Im more concerned with filtration ability vs synthetic media. On the Northstar, The filter is mounted on the bottom, so the ADBV type shouldn't be an issue.
I also saw Napa has their Platinum filters on sale for $5. I feel tempted to buy one and use it. Although it's overkill for a 5K OCI, I like the "fuzzy" feeling knowing i'm running one of the best filters on the car.
