Oil Filter Info
Here's a link on Oil filter's from marc haibeck's site. I was looking for original Delco black filters to put on my car because I couldn't stand the new Delco blue color on the LT5. After reading this I quickly changed my mind about the OEM Delco black filter.
http://www.zr1specialist.com/HAT%20W...comparison.htm I currently run the Mobil 1 or Bosch. I like the Bosch because it is also black and with a little work to take off the labeling it looks just like the original Delco in black.

Re: Oil Filter Info
That is very interesting. I use the Mobil 1 filter. I bought a case on eBay last year. I don't mind the white.

Re: Oil Filter Info
I have used the Wix filter for 14 months. On a recommendation from a friend who has had several Corvettes for years claiming Wix to be very good. Check out the Wix website.

Re: Oil Filter Info
well I just invested in 3 original filters and think I might just take them to Ebay. Thanks for the heads up on Delco.. I nearly settled for Bosch but thought Delco couldn't let me down.

Re: Oil Filter Info
The Mobil 1 oil filters now come black, so now there are no excuses not to use them.

Re: Oil Filter Info
FYI- I think the Wix and Napa filters are the same. All made by Wix. Might be easier to find the Napa brand.
