Hi again, would someone know what the fram oil filter number for '70 buick 455 is. I am trying to source an oil filter for the car and I am not sure if PH -25 is for this car. Any help would be great. Thanks
Stay away from Fram. I've never heard anything good about them. Get an AC Delco. I believe it's a PH-24.
i like a wix filter myself. i have heard of low quality "counterfeit" ac-delco filters causing problems.
Thanks guys for the tip. I went to the fram site and was able to locate the filter which is a ph25, I dont know why I couldent find the number earlier. That being said I will try to source a better type of filter as everyone has recommended. A side note, this weekend I am going to replace the intake (valley pan) gasket and the valve cover gasket to. I will then repaint those items with the duplicolor red. I just got the rad back the other day and if there is time, I will rebuild the carb and then start with the new ignition system, belts and hoses etc. Hopefully I will be able to have the car running in the next week or two. Long term storage for any car leeds to alot of work in the end. Thanks
i believe the fram ph11 doesnt have the backflow valve , where you dont want cause the filter is ay such an angle , it will drain back into the pan when ya shut the motor off . i too agree ,fram is JUNK . i prefer a/c , baldwin , wix , or puralator
Get either a mobil 1 or a k&n filter, they're the two best filters in every oil study I've ever read, about $10-15 too, super cheap insurance.
The discontinued "Ultraguard Gold" AC Delco series filters are also excellent (black in color, synthetic material) -- made by Champion Labs (K&N / Mobil 1).... I have 2 dozen of the UPF-24 filters for personal use, but I'll try and get more if there anyone is interested. - Let me know
This is all I needed to hear to get me to pass judgement on Fram (Allied Signal). The quote below comes from this site.
i currently use wix oil filters for my 72 gs 350 and am about to do the same in my 98 gs & 99 saturn. have been using fram ph25 in the car for 2 years. had a few ac delco pf24 that i was using before then. then could not buy locally anymore. three years ago, i purchased about 8 of the ph25 filters from a dept. store that was about to close. the filters had to be, at that time, on the shelf 5 years. old stock and made in canada. when the fram filters were made in canada (stratford & chatham ontario) they were quality products.
I won't use AC anymore after some issues I had. Link. I found it odd that the filter made in Mexico for AC Delco are in my opinion a better part. I have been using NAPA Gold filters since. I believe they are made by Wix.
Wix is a high quality filter. I use them often, but have been using K&N on my GS for a few years now. No problems.
