Strange how everyone says that it is hard to get the filter in/out . I just had to push 1 wire to the side with 1 finger and the filter slid right out with nothing in it's way.

I also have no idea why the heck everyone says you need a low profile socket ....I could've done it with a really deep socket

I just use a regular 1 1/4 Craftsman socket

I've been buying CarQuest parts and filters lately, trying to support a NASCAR sponsor of GM cars (Hendricks). After an incident today, I'm back to NAPA. I had to buy an O2 sensor for LadyT's Z71, and ordered it in the morning, and had it in by 3:00 this afternoon. $93. I got it, and the box was all dirty and taped up. I opened it, and it was USED! Walked out REALLY P'O'd, and went to NAPA. They had it stock, IN a Bosch box, new, for $67! Sorry Carquest, I'm DONE!

Wix filters for me, until I can find somewhere to buy a Bosch, so it's back to NAPA, a sponsor of T%*#$A in NASCAR.

Switching to the high dollar Barney juice come spring, also. Here is an ebay link to a guy with a 100% rating trying to sell XPR at a REALLY good price:

How much is shipping on these?

Cheers · « **Reply #30 on:** February 13, 2009, 11:09:17 PM »

Check the web site -- DO know that MD is cheaper than VA

They carry WIX too

snaponbob · « **Reply #31 on:** February 13, 2009, 11:11:56 PM »

Autozone has Bosch oil filters. No shipping either.

Cheers · « **Reply #32 on:** February 14, 2009, 12:08:48 AM »

Thanks last time I check they didn't .....and they are cheaper there....

Won't they order them? Mine would, but I went with Wix.

I have gotten them from Rock, any one know how to say Bosch oil filter in Spanish, if so I can check the Autozone here but they never have much but a very nice assortment of dingo balls and chrome hub caps. I got K&N's last time from Amazon, same as the Bosch. I just wanted to see the difference, none, the Bosch is cheaper.

Filtro de aceite de Bosch?

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #37 on:** February 14, 2009, 03:46:56 PM »

Grant called me, AutoZone has a Bosch Filter for $6.49 Part # 3324

Deep-GXP · « **Reply #38 on:** February 14, 2009, 04:27:56 PM »

Yes...autozone should have them in stock.

It's a good thing i went up to the guy and gave him my year/make/model or else I wouldn't of bought a bosch filter.

I had gone in there with the part number that i got off the forums and i guess they've changed the part number.

Cheers · « **Reply #39 on:** February 14, 2009, 04:40:22 PM »

Not to worry I had my last one from my 07 buy of 10 from Rock Auto Parts and compared it to the 3324 and they are identical.

I believe my father puts in a Bosche filter when he helps me change my oil. I believe it is what he uses as a generic filter at his shop for most of the cars he does oil changes on.

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #41 on:** February 14, 2009, 08:13:04 PM »

I bought 3 today from Autozone, cleaned them out.

Got it! I still have 2 K&N left until next week, then 1. But I will check tomorrow, there is a decent Autozone on the other side of town, the one near me SUCKS!

Sly Bob · « **Reply #43 on:** February 14, 2009, 10:03:14 PM »

I used Wix the last time with Amsoil full synthetic. I wouldn't do the Amsoil again but the filter is good!

Let's hope they don't answer you in Spanish...

What do you need ramps for?

When I did the oil change on my GXP last fall I just reached under the car from the passenger side and pulled out the plug. No ramps needed.

Long arms are however, a requirement.

Or long socket extentions.
Thanks

They also carry the 5 QT. jugs of Mobil 1 5-30.

Here is a SKY Guide

Thanks

Deep-GXP · « **Reply #47 on:** February 26, 2009, 04:04:38 PM »

I've read some terrible crap about Mobil 1 5w-30 in particular. Im definitely going to be switching brands on my next oil change. Not sure which one though.

tazz · « **Reply #48 on:** February 26, 2009, 04:18:32 PM »

On my Supercharged Ford I tried Amsoil and Royal Purple. I think I prefer RP over Amsoil but I don't have a contact any more that I can get it a decent cost. Amsoil was good also but since I was changing my oil on the Truck between 3-5K the cost was just more than I wanted to spend so I switched at about the 2yr mark to Motor Craft Synthetic Blend every 3K for 4yrs now.
As far as Engine trouble nothing so far and I drive that truck like I stole it on a every day bases.
Like I said I really like to go back to RP and if someone has a contact that they can get it at a decent price I probably would.
