    What are you guys using for an oil filter? I've used AC Delco PF24
    in the past, but I can no longer find them(PF24)

    I haven't had an issue getting the delco filter. Has it been discontinued?

    Filter companies are consolidating part numbers and dropping the original style filter. Substituting something that fits. AC Delco filters are not what they used to be.

    System1 ,never buy another filter and you can look/clean it whenever you want.

    Darn, all the standard Fram filters were out of stock....:rolleyes:
    I have been using AC PF24 but will switch to the NAPA or Hastings next time. Paint white and install a vintage AC sticker on them...

    The decal is not big enough to cover the lettering?

    I bought a bunch of the Mobil 1 filters when autozone was blowing them out for like 3 cents each. No joke!
    Painted them white and used Mike's decals. I made the mistake of clearing them after and they yellowed a bit just sitting in the basement. Still look good though.
