Sick of crappy oil filers for your 2.0 Cobalt SS?
I’m sick of these funky oil filters sold at the parts stores for our 2.0L SS/SC
No one has an OEM filer for the 2.0 SS. Here is what is offered: AutoZone: Fram: $7.19 STP: $8.79 Advanced Auto Parts (Parts America): Fram: $8.88 Pureleader: $8.68 Now some may not care, but the design of these filers are a bit different then OEM….and I want the OEM filer in my car! (made in Germany) So I have spoke with Tom at Crate Engine Depot and he is looking to offer us the OEM filer at a special price. Any interest? I know I want to pick a few up :D Tom's UPDATE p4

Nope, probably does not make any performance difference at all. I just don’t like the other filers because they appear to be different and I want the OEM one. Plus, it will cost us less if Tom gets this special going for us. |
How much is it to get it from the dealer?

I'd be interested too.
BTW, I highly recommend buying a replacement cap assy. Comes w/ the plastic cap, O-ring and Filter for ~14 thru the dealership. I have 2 ecotecs, so I like to always have at least one on hand. Any chance on them carrying those through crateengines? Or maybe they already do? Damn World Series rain delay = too many beers, lol I'll stop typing now, lol |
I get mine at employee price.
|
Does Mehle make them? I use them in my BMW's. Both of those have filters that drop into canister's like these cars do.
|
I use the purolator pure one filters...
|
The OEM ones look much better designed thatn the fram one. I bought the Fram filter once and never got it again.

I would defintely be down for picking up about 5 filters!! I have a hard time believing that these Fram filters can put up with the 6k miles or so that I put on between oil changes. Having the OEM one in there would just be piece of mind.

I'd be interested also...I put a Wix in mine...When I had my modded 5.3 in my truck I only went OEM, Wix, or NAPA Gold and I got 220,000 out of it and It's still going w/ the guy I sold it to. By the way 96,000 of those miles were after mods, and the truck ran 13.5's before I sold it, some burnouts were bouncing off the 7000rpm rev limiter...But back on topic if the price is right I may pick up 5 or 10 of 'em...Zed

ok guys i have a connection at my local chevy dealership and i can normally get things at cost. i will find out what i can get them for and let you guys know and if anyone is interested i'll order them and we can go from there. (same guy that got my my stage 2 for 550 bucks)

I'd like to get a good source for the OEM filter too. I hate using the Fram one.

I would be highly interested. Bought my first filter and oil for my first oil change today. I was not very happy with the fram. The oem seems a a hair differant. Keep us informed.

BTW The OEM filter that came in my car was made in USA, not Germany. It was made by Hengst. |

I have been wishing and hoping that somebody would release one since I bought my Cavy back in 03' I was gonna try to build one at work until I realized how the inside of the cap was made w/ that spring behind the guard. Still though if they can come up with an aftermarket cap for < $100 I'm all over it. I've had 3 of them crack on my Cavy so far. The first because I didn't have the right tools. And one about every 5-6 oil changes after that. Never cross threaded one, but the last two have just had the flange pop off when I tried to re-install them. It's gonna happen, plastic gets a little brittle after so many heat cycles.

, I'll post the P/N as soon as I get it. |
Are the OEM Filters that much better then the aftermarket ones??

No one has an OEM filer for the 2.0 SS. Here is what is offered: SAAB filters are probably there too.. |
