Which Oil Filter to buy

[Dmaxducker]

What is the consensus on the best oil filter for the Duramax? I bought 2 of the OEM's initially which I have used. I'm ready to buy 1/2 dozen at a time now, should I stick with GM's or what is the best filter for the dollar spent? Thanks

Napa Gold or Wix... (Same filter)

7202 is the Napa Gold part number.

Of course, you can't go wrong with the OEM black or the AC Delco blue filter. For the money, the Wix has them beat IMHO.

I just bought an STP S9100 oil filter for my 2002 Duramax. This is to inform the list that the STP is NOT identical to the GM AC PF2232. Under examination, there are differences that are quite obvious. The differences may not effect performance, but they are enough to show that the two filters are NOT identical. From now on, I will stick with the AC PF2232.
