HiFlo Oil Filters?

Post by johnnyboxer »

I usually use genuine OEM filters, but I have some of these, boxed and sealed

Are they ok?

Any issues?

Just remember JB, the engine is designed to run with the OEM filter.

So unless there's a reason to upgrade/downgrade why bother?

Edit. Just seen your reason. Sell 'em.

I have one on the S10 now and have used loads in the past. I am an over servicer though.

Personally I wouldn't use an aftermarket oil filter. I only use genuine OEM filters,and when there is only a pound difference then why use aftermarket. Makes no sense to me. But this is only my opinion.
