they'd wanna be good for the price. Ive had both white GM & Blue ACDelco filters and get the same oil pressure with both.

I came across a comment from delco about the anti drain valve in ryco ones.

I am sure he will chime in on this.

I am not sure if its the filler or so air leaking in from somewhere. I can't compare to genuine filters as they don't even have anti drain.

you can get K&N pro series (PS) filter for $7. Same filter as the HP filters but more OEM style.

Last I heard, even the GM filters are now been made in China.....

i used to allways use ryco untill they started making my car rattle on startup and some started failing internally.everyone says a filter is a filter but nowdays thats far from the truth.what was once metal is now made from cardboard or plastic.a quick look inside the threaded hole you can tell a good from a bad.and the v6 has a lot of cold start oil pressure over 100psi another reason to use a good quality steel filter you may not loose oil pressure but you may well be running continously with 0 filtration when the cardboard ones take a shit.the price difference between a cheapo and a top quality one is less than $5

genuine is less in total when purchasing a box full

[vlad01]

well that might explain the rattle and screech i get on cold starts.


as always my filters are always empty when left for few hours.

should i get the PS-1001 or the HP-1001 ?

And where from thats not ebay prices?

[vlad01]

worth looking at.
