Default OIL FILTERS

Heres my take on it

My company car has 210,000 miles of firestone oil changes and oil is CLEAN. Changed every 5,000 miles per fleet rules. Grand caravan 7 years old. I am sure its the cheapest oil and filter possible. She runs VERY well surprisingly.

My wifes Trailbalzer gets Chevy oil changes(lifetime for 19.99 from dealer) and oil
usually hits 3,000 and is slighltly dirty. Using all AC delco filters and 5W????

My Firebird gets Rotella 15W40 with Comp additive and Baldwin B9 and 1,000 miles
since cam swap and oil is spotless and decided to leave it till spring. Just put in a 180
Milodon High Flow stat since she now runs COOL.

My uncle has a large FLEET over construction equipment worth ALOT more then my
cars and he swears by BALDWIN.
