Oil filter Mahle or AC DELCO

I also use an ACDelco filter (blasphemy, I know).

Mahle is the way. Allegedly the OEM maker and after using them for a year they look and feel exactly the same.

Absolutely not. Example, I was an equipment manager at a Petroleum tank company. On our generator I tried to use several different manufacturers and the all blew the seals out because of filter material and pressure valves they used. I ended up buying OEM filters and never had a problem after that.

No one ever talks about this but the truth is the oil itself will always way outlast the oil filter. What you should be worried about is the paper filter, not the oil! Can your paper oil filter withstand 10k miles in between changes before slowly disintegrating into the oil? If you use a high quality OEM filter then the answer is yes. I use the original Mahle brand filters for my Audi.

Yeah, the first thing I did was an oil change. I put liqui moly 5w-40 in the car and the oil level is top of the dipstick (EDIT: within the max/min level on the dipstick, top of max, I should specify). I put a Mahle filter in there as well.

I run Castrol Edge 5W-30 with Mahle filters and no stabilazers since I don\u2019t trust that bullshit. Changes every 10,000km and she\u2019s still running beautifully with 205,000km on the clock

RockAuto sells AC Delco oil filters for $9. AC/D dexos 5-quart for $19 and one single quart for $4.

Daca imi aduc aminte, doar un filtru de ulei de la Mahle a venit diferit fata de cel pe care il luasem inainte cu un an; Made in China vs Made in Austria.

Yup, they’re trash. I had the same thing happen to me in my Cruze when I used a fram oil filter. I have been using ACDelco oil filters for the last few changes with no issues.

WIX. AC Delco used to be my go to for gm vehicles but some years back they switched out metal parts for plastic and the filters started to have a higher failure rate.
