5.3L V8 Oversized Oil Filter Option...

I change my oil and filter every 2 months or 2000-2500 miles in the winter. The extra idle and warm-up time contaminates the oil with fuel vapors which effects the lubrication process.

Because they designed the filter to work with this engine. If it needed to be better they would have designed it differently. It will give adequate filtration while maintaining flow and not overwork the oil pump trying to pump through too much media. Just like more expensive doesn't always mean better, more media doesn't always mean better. Also I've seen the "better filtration" filters just straight up come apart internally.

If everything was build to perfection... We would never need to modify anything!!!

Quality oil protects our motors. Regular change intervals assures the quality of the oil additives. Better oil filters protects the oil, between oil changes.

If we can have the best... Why settle for less???

K&N 2006. There was an oil filter study performed a few years ago. Their results were interesting. If I remember correctly K&N, Mobil 1, and Napa Gold were preferred.

I use a AC Delco PF61E. It is about 4.5" tall and is all the filter your motor will ever need. you can get these at most auto stores. I have also used fram and NAPA filters in the past, both seem to work just fine, "they filter the oil". Dont over-think it.

That's what I use.
