5.3 liter GMC V-8 Filter Question

[Oro_O]

Use up the Baldwins and the go to Ultras. The nice thing about Ultras is they really last multiple OCIs, good for 20k.

That 5.3l is a good engine, had it in several family vehicles and wish I had it in my Japanese SUV.

Unless you are in the mountains of NM a lot in winter, consider 10w-30 or at least for summer. If you aren't starting her at under 10F routinely, the 5w-30 is doing you no good and not as robust and oil for warmer temps.

Stepping up from your Baldwins will require moving to the Fram Ultra, Royal Purple or AMSOil EA filters.

BTW, Baldwin B1432 filters can be had by the case of 12 for $6.01 each, or $72.07 and modest shipping from Middlesex, NJ.

I have 2 gm 5.3 gm engines
I have used purolator, wix, ac delco, cheap clearance filters from rock auto made by hastings, mobil 1.

I had a new 2004 Silverado LT 2WD until last September, 127,000 miles. Used many different filters until I settled on Wix XP. It was a short one, 51042XP. Used all the major full synthetics, whatever was on sale. Typical piston slap went away 30 seconds or less, a little longer in winter. Truck ran great. Hated to see it go.
