YA BUT... You don't need a Mobil 1 filter... I use the Bosch... Autozone carries them.

BTW... Walmart is over $2 a quart cheaper for Mobil 1 oil than Autozone

I read on Marc's site the Bosch drains thru the check valve after 24 hrs, so I'm gonna try the Wix from NAPA

The previous owner used Bosch and that's what I'm going to continue to use. No rattle from what I can tell, pressure comes up quickly, oil stays clean.

I've only owned the car for about two months so my opinion doesn't really matter.

I will be switching from the Bosch to the WIX (NAPA) per Marc's new recommendation.....

I've been using the Bosch for several years, but I've noticed more chain rattle with the last 2-3 ... Marc's new info just confirms this. Makes me wonder if Bosch has "changed" their filters. Shame, I liked the look of the Bosch with the label removed. I will be trying alternatives soon ... may even change to another filter in the next few days even tho I changed oil/filter a couple of weeks ago. This last Bosch filter has more chain rattle than any filter I've used.

I use Mobil 1 Extended performance and the Mobil 1 Filter that goes with it. No chain rattle or weird oil pressure readings on my 54000 mile LT5. I get it all at advance auto parts which normally does a deal on the mobil1 which gives you 5 quarts and a filter. I buy two kits each time and have some extra filters. Each time I also have an extra quart, so pretty soon I'll have enough quarts and filters to do it for nothing, sort of.
