amsoil synthetic and k%n filter

[DRTYFN]

I've tried Royal Purple and Amsoil in the past(I really cheered for Amsoil, too), but I've gone back to the tried & true Mobil1 synthetic - mainly because a case of it is $23 at Costco.

If you want to run sythetic go for it. As others have said change it at 3K. K&N filters are OK. Stay far the hell away from Fram. I've used them all, and I have cut them all apart when they are done to inspect them. I personally am most impressed by WIX, the quality of the guts in those things is the best in my opion. Being a diesel owner (with and IDI system) my oil turns black almost immediatly. With a WIX filter the change of color is a much more gradual process.

DRTYFN You make a good choice with Mobile 1 also. I have not used it but the guys I know that do love the heck out of the stuff.

I have not tried the K&N oil filters. Would You give Me a little insight as to why they are a good choice? I use Pennzoil filters on all except H2. It gets the factory filter. If I should change please let me know. I used the Delco filters for a while on My 99 Silverado as the 5.3L was having trouble holding oil in top end and dry starting. Dealer said be sure and use factory as it had the spring in it to hold oil back. When Penn started adding spring and valve I went to them again.
Appreciate any help.

I'm glad you mentioned WIX. Before I retired from farming I had WIX on everything including power units and on all tractors. When i got away from farming and retired I wnet in different directions and just did not get near WIX as much. The more I think about it I remember being at a seminar where all the filters were cut in to that You wanted to bring. There were WIX and all kinds and the FRAM looked horrible. It was after that I went to WIX as the farmers that brought there used WIX looked better and even the clean ones when all cut open the WIX had allot more filtration material.
I may be going back to the WIX on the H2 now after You brinning it up.

I use K&N sometimes. We have only one shop out here that sells them and it is on the other side of the island. They sometimes don't have them in stock and by the time that I realize it is oil change time I don't feel like ordering on the internet.
