Oil fiters and oil types

[Patf10]

I did a search and couldnt quite find what i was looking for. I have a 360 that is being or almost done being overhauled. My questoin is what oil filter should i use. My adapter does not have the pressure reliefe with the little plunger and spring. So what is the best type to used, i have heard bad things about frams. And what type of oil i have read that they like synthetics better, especially the seals. Id go with the bull tear stuff but its nice to get something right off the shelf. So any brand/type that you guys get good results out of?

Thanks
Pat

I aways use Wix and Valvoline 30W for cam breakin, then I drain the oil and replace the filter with same but put Valvoline 10W 30W in and run that for first 500 miles so ring and things break in and seat properly. Then I stay with Wix but change to Mobil 1 full synthetic in the 0W 50W range.

So should one NOT use just any ol' 10w40 to break in a "new" motor ?

Was there ever any determination if the GM "EOS" available from dealerships
should or should not be added to the oil for break-in ?
The label on the back says not to use it as an oil additive,
and instead talks about using it as an assembly lube
Wondered if this stuff puts back in the oil the stuff they've been takin' out
that's needed for flat tappet cam break in.

Yes, after break in period.

I normally use Purolator or Mobile Oil Filters and Valvoline 20w50 Racing oil When it gets cold I'll drop it down to 10w40...
You should always use a thick oil for a "break-in" period... straight weight oil is perfect for this... prime the motor making sure oil is at the top of the motor and fire her up and run her.
If at all possible stay away from fram oil filters...
Wix is a good filter, K&N are awesome! Kinda pricey and chances are you have to order them (Which are normally a day away)... A ford oil filter is identical to a Purolator filter... Ford filters work with the Jeep I have.. (Man, I hate to admit that)
