Oil filter Wix or AC DELCO
What kind of oil filters are you using? Ac delco filters caused similar oil pressure on mine, switched to wix and now it always has like 45psi at hot idle, and around 60 at cold start.
I'd only mix in half a quart each OCI, just to keep the oil pump happy. Nonetheless, it'll be fine. My '08 3.3L Chrysler takes 5w20 & I always replace a quart with 5w30 or 0w20, depending on the season. My '06 3.8L Buick takes 5w30, I typically replace a quart with 10w30 since I live in the desert. Doing so, in combination with only using Purolator & ACDELCO (personal preference) filters & changing them every 3k as recommended, keep my engines happy with their age
I wouldn’t worry about who does the service. Just don’t use shitty Filters. Use OEM or Wix.
I used the WIX as it looked like it matched the dealer installed filter better. It also has internal O rings that seem to seal it better on the shaft.
For filters I have never been done wrong by wix. Price is right and the quality is there. I converted my hilux to use wix 51515 filters because I was sick of ordering them from australia for $40 each, and definitely not buying the $80 one I could get locally. Now my filters cost me like $7. Will pay for the cost of the conversion in a couple years of oil changes.
A good filter is $15 (I use Wix XP) and I get my full synthetic oil at Costco whenever it goes on sale for $3/qt.
I don't know about a lot of different oil filter manufacturers but a wix and Napa are the same and a good quality filter. Wix makes a lot of different brands and I think they are the best.
I use a wix filter that has a filter key that attaches to my ratchet. Never get oiled up all!
Switched between fram and ac delco. Sticking to ac delco due to a tsb. Oil pressure issues.
Big pass on WIX filters. I purchased two 57055XP from Rockauto. Both came without the gaskets attached and the wrong baseplate attached at the factory. There is a well-known defect where 20F instead of 20M baseplates were used. Made a warranty claim with MANN+HUMMEL many months ago. Basically, they ignore you or tell you to F.O.
