Question: Oil Filters Which to use?

[callaway4fun]

I was just wondering what oil filter everyone is using in their cars.I have been using the Mobil 1 M1-111 in my car . What are you guys using?

 

[redb2k's]

I use AC Delco filters. I just changed mine and used a smaller filter to get a little more clearance from the exhaust system. The 46 from a Gen III engine will fit fine, or a 61 if you want it a little longer.

The last time I changed before winter was a K&N. I'd love any feedback on this filter. Jeff

I think I have Original AC Delco PF-25's to last me through the year 3000.

Me too... hnoes


Arnold, are you saying the PF46 is good for the L98 blocks?

Let's all be clear here when we say for example, PF25 = B2K TT filter repl.
FWIW, a Champion FIlter was fitted on most, as new. If you NCRS or BG your car w/. a PF25 though, it is WRONG! Technically speaking

for both cars i use the napa gold,wait before you boo. they are wix filters and for the zr1 have a great anti drain back valve

So we need the champion for judging?

Hmm... never seen any documentation on this before. Is it on some Callaway document? If not then I would think it reverts to the GM specific part.

Luigi, I am going by memory here, the 87s had a FRAM part and the 88+ cars were fitted with a Champion filter, as they became program partners for the B2K program :cool


Here is a commercial montage from the era:

B2K Oil and Air Filters for 1988 through AT LEAST Callaway Corvette # 88-048

• Filter, Air = Champion AF-1042
• Filter, Oil = Fram PH30

Chris,
The thread is the same and the seal will fit the adapter that Callaway used for the oil cooler line adapter.

That's good info as the older PF25s become less and less avail. :bash


What are your suggestions for the newer LSx cars??

I use a Fram just for the grip. I know i can just use one of those strap wrench things, but in my opinion if i cant get the filter loose with both hands its on too tight.

 

[C6MAN]

I have four PF25 s put away for now.

Just to clarify,PF25 filters are for the Twin Turbo (Gen1 Small Blocks)

AC Delco PF-48 oil filter for 2007 C6 Corvette (LS2 engine), 2006-2008 C6 Z06 Corvette (LS7 engine) and 2008 C6 Corvette (LS3 engine).

I had a 79 that I took through the NCRS ranks. That was my filter also. Every year at Carlisle I would find one.

I used the ac61. The 48 has different threads. It will not work on the Gen I. I choose the 61 because it is the same one as the Northstar engine and I have lots of them.

Does Champion even MAKE oil filters anymore I cannot find them ;squint:
