Oil and Filter

[Mr70]

It isn't so much what Oil you use,as long as you change it frequently.
For near 20 years,I run 5W-30,whatever is on sale.

On the filter,I make my own period correct P-25.
I buy the same size federated oil generic Black Oil filters for a buck,then I made a stencil of the NOS red/white/blue AC colored logo one.
After spraying the filter white,I lay my two stencils over it and hit it with red,then blue.
Looks fabulous & after 6 months I throw it all away anyway.

I've done the repaint and stencil/stamp thing too. Even sought out a 'correct' off-white, semi flat paint to use, but I just don't have the time to mess with it anymore. For $20 a pop, I'll stick with the AC's from Greenwood.

For oil; I've been with Valvoline since I bought my new '68 Chevelle. Never a problem and no reason to switch!

Here are the two filters side by side, original on left $20.00 repop right.

The finishing touch to your bedliner Jack.

They could have tried to make then a little more accurate.

Redline 20/50 synthetic and K+N HP-3002, it's what the engine builder recommended and the seller gave me 6 filters so what the heck. Looks dirty as soon as you put it in tho.

I go with purolator, but the larger filter that truck applications call for. It's cheap, holds and extra pint of oil, and from a squat and peek POV it's white like an old GM filter. I agree someone should make an accurate raised letter repro for a few bucks. I'd use them if they looked right and weren't $50 or more. I can't bring myself to spend big bucks on a filter, when I know it's always 3 months from being thrown away.

I use Royal Purple oil and I buy the correct appearing repop filters, I have a few NOS filters and I will not intstall them on my cars, see what your 35 year old window stickers and build sheets look like, that is what the paper inside the filter looks like as well, spend all that money on a fresh engine and use a 35 year old paper filter no way. I know I will get some mad at me and I am all for correct parts and stuff and am a purist at heart , but judges should take points away when items like this are used on cars that are started and driven. The only way I would install one on my NOS pieces is when the car was parked at the show I would put it in and change it before starting again. Just my $.02 and I don't mean to offend anyone.

I can't remember the filter number off the top of my head, but the two quart big truck oil filter is really nice and happens to fit quite a few car chassis. It's actually easier to change due to it's length and you can never go wrong with an extra quart of insurance on your investment. As for the smaller filters, the AC PF35L is the same size as the regular PF35, but is composed of a high tech synthetic filter media inside instead of the standard paper inside. As for oil, Mobil One synthetic is the only one that exists in my world. It was first, it is best. There is nothing else. Buy it by the gallon at Wal-Mart.
