What's for guys who don't know when they've been handed the wrong filter for their car?

Better yet, know what the filter number is before going to any store or dealer.

I thought we were talking diesels

Easiest way to do it: go to napa and buy their filters which are Wix....but before driving there, go here and get the correct filter number: http://www.wixfilters.com/Lookup/filterlookup.aspx

If you plan on keeping the vehicle for more a while, look at buying a case of filters. I find these two places very cheap, even after shipping for any type of Wix filter (air, oil or hydraulic).

Looks like the same filter as our malibu. Guess the camaro takes a chick oil filter.

To answer the question 1987 AFAIK was when GM first tried a cartridge oil filter.

Had a 59 Caddy with a cartridge oil filter mounted at the top of the engine. Much easier to replace than today's spin on versions that drench your arm in hot oil when you remove them.

not the same filter as my 5.3 truck(different part #). iremember when chevy sb all used the same filter. also remeber the 50s cars with the canister on top of engine.new camaros, nicer than mine, 400lbs lighter,44 hp more.

Oh that's right the ss takes a high performance filter but the 6.2 truck is the same. Been at Toyota to long lol

Better yet, just have the dealer change it... Flame suit on...


I honestly did change the oil on all my vehicles. I still do it on my Audi and Diesel. But on my new F150 it is just as easy to drop it off at the Ford dealer across the street. They park it back in my spot at work and I either stop in and settle up or they send a bill.
