try fleetfilter they sell NAPA filters that are made by wix. I run their fuel filters and oil filters but i buy the allison trans filters. I did not like the way the magnet covered up all the holes on the WIX style trans filters.

Only ACDelco here, thats the only oil and fuel filter I will run. I keep my truck all GM.

The GM fuel filter has the advancements made based on the injectors for the LB7.

On the trans I only use Allison filters, like ZeroGravity said the magnet doesn't line up and could possibly restrict flow.

They are all good filters. I use the Wix fuel filter which I beleive is a lower micron rating than the AC Delco. For oil filters as far as efficiency goes you would be hard pressed to find one that filters at a lower micron rating than the Amsoil EaO filter.

anyone running trans synd? I run Fleetguard filters... up here we have a Cummins shop I figure Cummins must make a good filter to factory specs. I just pick them up cause they are cheap. Fuel and Oil are about $20 A SET. We get the Coal Mine Discount in Gillette WY.

Shop around for the GM filters. Hecht Chevrolet (Effingham, Illinois) is asking 61 dollars for a fuel filter, while boulder chevrolet (Salem Illinois) is asking 38 dollars.

What is the Micron rating on the Amsoil oil filter?

Me; ACDelco/Wix/Racor fuel filters. ACDelco/Wix/K&N oil filters. Allison transmission filters only.

anybody notice they redesigned the Allison Filter the holes are no longer on the edge and it looks like the gasket is a lot thicker
