* ACDelco: This is the GM original equipment (OE) brand, and often considered a safe and reliable choice. Their filters are usually readily available and meet the manufacturer's specifications.

Before purchasing: Always check your owner's manual or a parts website like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa Auto Parts. Enter your vehicle's year, make, and model to ensure you get the correct filter for your specific Cavalier engine (there may be slight variations). The part number will be listed, allowing you to easily compare prices and brands.
Don't solely focus on price; a slightly more expensive filter from a reputable brand can offer better filtration and potentially longer life. Consider the filter's micron rating (lower is better, meaning finer filtration) if you're concerned about fuel quality in your area. However, for typical use, any of the reputable brands listed above should be sufficient.
