Oil Filters - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Used the Bosch until a couple of years ago when the anti drain properties changed and the filter was no longer the same ... I knew something was wrong when the chain rattle got really bad. I believe Marc documented this as well.

I currently have a supply of Napa gold that I caught on sale awhile back ... @ $5.00 a filter I think. I also have several AC Delco (blue) that work really well ... got mine from Amazon for $5.00 each shipped. Since I prefer black filters I always spray the filters before installing (glossy, satin, or flat ... tried them all). The black filters don't have any labels but I'm also not trying for NCRS judging, so it works for me.

Startup chain rattle with the Delco & Napa seems to be about the same. I actually prefer the fluted edges on the Delco but otherwise either filter works well for me.
