Hi all,

Any suggestions what oil filter(s) for a 1978 350 L48 engine? Even the "simple" things are so simple any more🤪🤪

Thanks

Just me, but I prefer using OE filters. AC/Delco on ALL of my GM vehicles. 👍

I'm using the K&N right now because of the nut on the bottom.  Otherwise I use Wix, Mobil 1, or Bosch.  I get the long style not the standard shorty.

Thanks guys

Stay away from Fram oil filters.

Actually, Fram's top of the line Ultra Synthetic is pretty good.  The rest...not so much.

Greetings, What are the difficulties with Fram?

I was basing my opinion on an internal quality report from Fram that came across my desk when I worked at Allied-Signal.  Fram was a subsidiary at the time of Allied-Signal. It detailed how the filters were failing the pressure testing and yet there was nothing done to correct that. They just kept on selling the filters. Granted this was probably 25 years ago.

"Granted this was probably 25 years ago."

🤨

I subscribe to the theory that if you fool me once, shame on you. If you fool me twice, shame on me.
If they were willing to sell poor quality stuff 25 years ago then I'm not willing to take a chance on it today. I've always stuck with AC brand filters and never had a problem.
