Is the WIX oil filter the filter of choice for a oil change?

That's my filter of choice. Amazon usually has the best price.

If you need it faster than Amazon, Oreillys will have it for a couple dollars more.
The Delco replacement for the PF35 is PF 1218.
I've seen a video of it being cut open and it's a good filter.
It's also a fraction of the cost of a WIX, so i can put a new one on every year for cheap.
$5 each at amazon

Anyone ever try Supertech from Walmart? I put one on my van after the Mobile1 5/30 broke my oil gauge in my van along with Valvoline 5/30, gauge is still stuck on 80 though

Chevelles took a PF-25 originally. The PF-454 is too short. The PF1218 is longer and does work.
I use the PF1218, painted white with a red and blue sticker on it to look like a '60's version. I'm in at under $10, and the "repro" ones are $35.

I get a new blue PF1218, scuff with scotchbrite, prime and paint white, and apply sticker. Less than $10, and the repro filter are $30

Dave,
You show that Impala in stock class ? That car is a beauty, especially the interior.
So I can see why you'd want an "original" oil filter

Stock, or if there is a Survivor class, I do that. Its mostly original, and some parts of it are amazingly well preserved. I am an OCD anal person, and if I have a picture in my mind of how I think something should look, I'll spend an inordinate amout of time and money to get there.
I straighten things on my desk subconciously, and wipe off dust that only I can see. Its a blessing and a curse, my stuff is always nice, but I can't let something alone and enjoy it as-is.

Man, we sound like brothers. Even my fork and knife have to be aligned on the napkin correctly. I've torn jobs completely apart and redone them because I can't accept anything less than perfection.
