EcoTec Filter suggestions?

[GMWeber]

Just an update here... They didn't have just straight DexOS at my local shop, nor did they have Fram Ultra. Walmart does, but I dislike going to Walmart.

So I went with Purolator Boss & Castrol-GTX high mileage.

I guess my next change, I'll have to order from Amazon, or find another shop.
I really want to try those Mann filters.

Anyhoo, I'll update after a week or so of driving & report back.

Thank you everyone for your help.

It doesn't filter as well as the Fram Ultra is the problem. And it costs more than an Ultra. Expensive, and not as good.


My Amsoil filter was definitely filtering better than this Fram ultra Ecotec cartridge.
