Advance Auto Parts has the AC Delco w/O-ring $4.99

O'Reilly handles Wix w/O-ring $7.99

For some reason I would like to get the O ring all the time just in case...


Thanks again

I've been told that Wix actually manufactures oil filters for AC Delco.

I've always stuck with AC/Delco products, even though I know that the suppliers have changed over the years. I haven't changed any filters on the HHR(only on day five of ownership), but I am looking forward to going into an auto parts store and not having to explain what a Corvair is!.....Mike

That's fine, I just can't see paying $7.99, when I can pay $4.99 @ Advance with the O-ring. (best to check it's in there tho)...

I use the Purolator Pure One in all my cars. Very good filtration efficiency.

AC Delco no longer makes oil filters, they just brand them. They don't all come from the same vendor. I wouldn't use a Fram spin-on filter on a bet. Cardboard end caps. Our filter, being just a cartridge, is probably a little harder for Fram to screw up, but the Purolator doesn't really cost any more.

A recent article

Here is the most exhaustive workup that has become the standard internet resource over the years.

Later

Here is a link to "All about oil filters" The author justifies using car filters on motorcycles and rates the filters with detailed explanations. He seems to like Mobil 1, Bosch, Pure 1 and even has good things to say about Walmart's Supertech filters.

A/C Delco filters for the HHR are made by the German co. Hengst,it's a good filter

I just use the Bosch ones or what ever is there. Not sure if it matters.
