Filters
We
use Champ filters, but you may not be able to find
these filters because they are predominately sold to installers.
But no matter what kind of car you have, insist on a name
brand filter. Look for Fram, Delco, Motorcraft,
Purolator, Wix, Napa or Valvoline. While you may
not think the brand makes a difference, I’m convinced
that brand names protect your engine better than those with
a name you’ve never heard before or who live inside
a plain white box.
However,
sometimes you will find an original equipment (OE) filter
made and marked by the manufacturer inside anyone’s box.
All filter companies purchase OE filters to rebox if that
particular filter does not represent a large segment of the
filter market. Not too long ago, I found an orange Nissan
filter inside a Champ box. The selling price of the
filter was about $35. If I went to the local Nissan
dealer, that same filter would have a selling price of just
under $20. So if was looking for an air filter and looked
inside the box and saw an OE filter, I would call the dealer
and price their air filter.
