I went to www.baldwinfilters.com and did a search on my zip code. Found two truck supply places within 5 miles that carried them. The other option is mail order at www.adiesel.com.
What brand of oil filter do you use?

OEM all the way. I get motorcraft(Ford) and AC(GM vehcles) at discount stores. The rest i get from the dealers at fairly reasonable prices. The one exception is my Dodge Neon, I get Purolator filters for it at a farm supply store for about 3 dollars each, the OEM are about 8 bucks each. I realize the OEM filters are nearly all made by other companies, but they are the ones that are recommended and approved by the OEMs.
Great plan. I look forward to seeing the numbers. We have too many opinions here, and too little data to base them on. Also how about a PF47/PF52 comparison if that is what you are using?quote:

I'm pretty set in my ways on oil but my current plan is to try different filters on my wife's Grand Am since she puts on miles faster than I do, and get UOA's with each filter. K&N, Mobil 1, NAPA Gold, Purolator Pure ONE, all seem good. AC for hers, Motorcraft for my truck too.
PureONE on the Mazda and OEM on the Subaru. Just picked up six PureONE's for A$11.80 each, very cheap for a quality product.
Ford Motorcraft FL1A- 1993 Mustang LX 5.0
Ford Motorcraft FL400S - 1990 ford Taurus
OEM Honda - 1998 Civic Hatchback
The motorcrafts go for $2.67 at Walmart!!!!
OEM honda filters are 3.50 each when I buy ten.

Well, if I'm the only one in the area buying these things, it's going to be a long, long time till they get into new stock. Maybe I'll order both a 1333 & a 1344 next time and take whichever one is orange?
Right now I'm running GC. I'll be switching to Delvac 1 in the spring.

I think the 1344 lists a bunch of forklifts and a Ford Courier (what...?) as its applications... so, indeed, it might be awhile for new stock...!

The 92 Grand Am HO Quad 4 I had called for the PF 47. Towards the end, I was using the larger PF 52. Bigger has to be better, right? So much of what we do here is just guessing. Again I look forward to some real data.
I use a SuperTech on both my 383 LT1 and my 4.0L Jeep motor. I am very happy with ood oil pressure keeps the bearing were they belong when that 383 is wrapping 7000 rpms and sanpping 475+ hp at the crank.
I have been using wix 1522,or pureone pl20123,happy with both.
Nissan OEM... or
Purolator PureOne........

I'm currently using SuperTech 3950 on my '87 Mitsubishi Pickup and SuperTech 2827 on my '99 Nissan GXE. I have also used Hastings on these vehicles. It just seems to me the ST is a good value for the money.

AC/Delco and Wix.
Been using Delco lately because they're cheaper.

I've use Nissan's 15208-9E000, Mobil 1 M110, and about 2 months ago I stalled a K&N HP1010(w/QS synthetic 10-30 A3-98 rated) for my SE-R.
I'm going back to Mobil 1 5-30, although I really want to try Delvac 1 if I can find it here in Dallas.
