Which oil filter is recommended ?

[DJH]

I found cross references for the PCM filter here http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=R077001...

They suggest: Fram PH8A, HP1, TG8A, K&N HP-3001, Mobile 1 M1-301, Purolator PL30001

I went with the Mobile 1 - no issues.

A question with as many opinions as what type of oil should be used. My preference is Mobil 1 (same w/ oil) followed by K&N. I have heard WIX & Motorcraft are good as is NAPA Gold but have no experience with them since I have no reason to switch away from Mobil 1. I use Mobile 1 on all my vehicles and have for many years. You'll get opinions that Mobile 1 & K&N are a waste of money but it's my money as it is yours, buy what you want and what you feel gives you the best protection. One opinion I think is pretty universal, stay AWAY from the orange filter manufacturer.

Mobil 1 and K&N filters are the same except the K&N has a hex welded on the bottom. I also use Mobile 1 15w50 with one of those filters Auto zone or Advanced usually have a sale with 5 qts and filter for low $30s. Never use orange filters.

NAPA Gold 1515. NAPA Gold filters are made by WIX for NAPA.
Always Mobil one oil.

The manual says to run straight 40W in my 97 GT-40. Can I switch to Mobil 1? What weight? Do they have a 40W Mobil 1?

Welcome to the show.....but maybe not threadjack AND ask a question about a topic that has 1000+ posts on this site.

To answer you question . Yes you can switch. The recommended weight is 15w50 it has the ZDDP protection for older flat tappet engines and works well with the new ones. I have been using Mobile 1 since it first came out in 1977 no problems yet.

K&N filter and Royal Purple synth oil has served me well.

I like Rotella 15-40w with the Purolator Gold PL30001
