quick question

[dat*blu*73]

Doing oil change on l16 whats best oil and weight type of oil filter too ? Herd frams not good what do you think ? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

What kind of oil was is in it before the oil change? I prefer AC Delco filters and parts, or if you can get a factory part or filter(?). I don't know how much difference a filter would make in an older engine though. probably 10w30 or 40. Maybe 15/40?  Unless you have super high miles and she rattles a lot. Then heavier... 

 

Edit: how much does your oil pressure change from cold to hot? (psi when cold, psi when at operating temp?)

Fram used to be the best, now are just a name. They have been shown to be poorly made with poor materials and used by cheap ass owners trying to save $3.00. There is no problem finding something better. 

 

Oil 15W40 Chevron Dello400 or Shell Rotella T are reasonable.

I use chevron delo oil and either wix or napa gold filters. Filters are more expensive but worth it.
