Thread: Stick with OEM tranny filter?

I'm going to be changing the tranny fluid soon. I was wondering if I should just stick with a OEM filter or is there a better option out there?

Good enough.. Thanks

Well at 118k on the car I'm sure it will be fun either way. If need be I do have a rubber mallet both soft and hard, lead hammer, brass hammer, steel hammer, sledge hammer.... Not that I would use any of those.

Actually there are........

And don't use the gasket the filter comes with.

And don't replace the filter O ring unless the new filter is relatively easy to install.

In that case what would you suggest?

4T65E Filter

Or a nice preventative kit:

Just because they only have one option and they claim its OEM, doesnt make it OEM.

See what I linked before your post.
