What kind of oil filters is everyone using?

Just curious to see what kind of oil filters everyone is using. The catalog usually calls for a Delco PF47, but I've found that a Bosch 3331 keeps everything cleaner longer. I was even thinking about switching to the equivalent of a Delco PF52 (longer casing, same thread pattern) to give more surface area for the filter. Give me your thoughts.

When you say it keeps things cleaner, longer, are you having an oil analysis done to arrive at that conclusion?

No. That is coming soon however. I'm going by the color of the oil. With the AC Delco PF47 the oil would stay clear and golden until about 2,000 miles. With the Bosch 3331, it stays that way until about 3,500 miles. Even when I change it, it doesn't look as dirty. Where would you recommend getting an oil analysis done?

Good choice! You know that the Mobil 1 Filters are all made by Bosch?

K&N HP-1001

Motorcraft FL-321S.

AMSOIL Ea Synthetic Nanofiber Oil Filter (EaO)

I tried to use the K&N filter but the one listed for my car would not work so I am using Amsoil Ea029.

I want to use 'quaker state' filter...thats what my dealership uses and supposedly I have awarranty with quakerstate that guarantees my motors friction surfaces up to 250k miles if I always use there products.

I cant find them locally however so Ive been using the parts store brands. So far I've used a napa, and a few purolator filter's.

I have a problem with AC delco filters...Evertime I look inside one I can see some residue..looks like dried goo that must be used in the assembly process. I'm sure its fine, but all I can think of is all that hot oil loosening that goo and carrying it all through the motor. No thanks. I've stayed away from them since I noticed that.

I have a problem with Bosch. Maybe there oil filters are fine, but they sure ripped me off on a 21 dollar wiper blade, that totally sucks.

Wow, that guy has too much time on his hands. Just measure how thick the case is how neatly the glue looks doesn't really determine which is a good oil filter. There is no scientific data in that report at all.
