I haven't used a PF24 in over 20 years, WIX and NAPA are superior. Our engines didn't come with that Delco blue color filter anyway, they were white originally. I for one would not trust a NOS filter any further than I can throw it. And I please hope nobody runs those garbage Fram filters!

Anyone use a Champion oil filter? I've seen those around.

Wix is a great filter as is Purolator. The Delco PF24 is a great filter too and still made or was made in the USA. Part number has changed now for the PF24 and it is now made by Champ. Not excited about that at all....

DO NOT use an old oil filter! A buddy of mine in my local Pontiac club put a vintage PF24 on his engine and the filter media came apart and filled his engine
with paper shards.

Ever see what happens to the paper in an old NOS air filter? Some are fine, some turn into toilet paper.

I use Bosch they are good quality and a little smaller for better fit with headers and long branch manifolds. This filter just came off my car and has seen 100psi many times. Sorry about the pictures I didn’t take the life case off first.

The other bad thing about old filters is you can see dust rust I call it inside the filter on the bare metal.
