I always forget about this thread here I made.

I bumped it for you, it's a very useful and informative thread. Nice work Mike.

I noticed this:

"The Fram Double Guard with DuPont Teflon, DG3387A, is highly recommended."

Ever read the tests/reviews of oil filters?
Fram is usually the worst, and even Dupont says Teflon has no business in an engine.

Just wanted to throw that out there...not a slam or anything.

Someone should update this for the new aveos.

Unless I missed it, the PF-47 also crosses over to the Baldwin B-43S oil filter. I use Balwin filters in both Cummins engines we run and they are as good as the OEM Fleetgard.

If you buy the these filters by the case of 12, they cost $3.91 each at BF Web Express.

If someone could post a list of all the filters the Aveo uses, I'll see if I can post the Baldwin filter cross over filter. Thanks. I need to get a listing of all the filters my daughters 2007 Aveo 5 LS automatic transmission uses anyhow.

5W-30 AMSOil with WIX filter... Did that in both my Aveo and HHR.... The oil only darkens a little in the first 5k, so I just change the filter at that point. It's rated to go all the way to 25k, but I don't think I'd do more than 15k... most likely 10.
