I used to able to buy AC filter at Walmart & Kmart
now they do not stock them.

So where are you buying your oil filters and the cost ?

Thanks Hilltop ???
 
I have seen AC filters at my local AUTOZONE......

 
I have been getting them from PEP Boys. Purolator #15313 (I think that is the #) They can be difficult to find. I have the 8.1 and am not sure if the 5.3 uses the same filter. I just picked up the only (2) they had last week.
 
are those filters as good as Fram or Mobil1 filters. i have always used Fram products. i just recently started using Mobil1 stuff. i am pleased with both. i was just wondering. never really recall ever hearing anyone's opinion on this. i guess it is all personal preference, right? ???

I was chatting with a buddy who's good friend test oil and oil filters. He was telling me that Fram was one of the worst filters you could buy....He said there were a ton of others on the market that are great. Mobil1 is the best was the concensus.
 
you are the second person who has told me that about Fram filters. maybe i will use the Mobil1 on the wife's truck too. :B:
 
More news 02 I do about 4 oil and filter changes a week for neighbors and friends and recomend NOT using fram as I cut open filters (recycle the steel and oil) and have found several frams where the filter media (paper) ends were not attached and paper is much thinner than Napa gold,Mobil-1 or AC even motorcraft are better than fram
 
Oil Filter quality has been discussed before . . . here's an interesting site with lots of reading --> OIL FILTER STUDY

FYI: AC ?;D ?Mobil 1 ? ;D ?Fram ? :D: ?So far, I've used AC filters on my Av.
 
thanx. i will definitely change it to the Mobil1 now. i did not realize it was so crappy. the worst part about the whole Fram situation is i have used all three of their filters. thinking i was getting a better filter when i bought the TG or DG. guess i was wrong. thanx again!
