Black PF25 Oil filter

I need a black PF 25 for a resto project that I am doing on an 88. does anyone have one for sale? Please advise.Tom

Just an idea. But as a fellow appreciator of a black oil filter (they were factory on my car), you can paint a regular filter black.

Also Mobil 1's filters are apparently now black instead of grey.

Just a thought if you don't have to have a factory black one.

I'd painted this one from grey to black:

...I have seen white PF 25's and blue ones - with both old and new style writing decals on them - NEVER have I seen a black one.

What years had black??

I don't know what all years had black. I have a NCRS judging manual for my 88 and it states that it is a black filter with a silver label.So I know that 87-89 had a black filter. I have checked e-bay and never see any on there.The G.M. # is 6438261.All help will be appreciated. TLS

I had somebody bring this subject up before and as an original owner of a 1989 Corvette, I do not recall my filter being black.

I was the first person to change the oil in my car - I remember how dang tight that filer was :eek I also believe it was blue...

Could the NCRS have it wrong?? Just asking

According to what I have found out the black one's were factory installed.They were used from 87-91. From what I understand they were never sold over the counter.I think I have found an outlet for the decal, so the black paint is no problem. Thanks to all that helped. TLS

[tls630]

The decal is silver with black letters.I think I have found a place to get a repop. I am going to try it and will let you know how it works out. TLS

I did a couple of "first" oil changes on some 91's when I was at the dealer, and indeed the factory filter was black. The replacement was the tried and true PF25 in blue.

...could be mine was changed prior to delivery - but I cannot see why. Or, my memmory is only 1/2 as good as I thought it was - Thanks

I don't have any pictures to post but I have 3 decal's that are identical to the originals. I am willing to sell 1 or 2 of them. I want $20.00 a piece for them.TLS

The WalMart house brand filter is black. The label is easily removed.

You can use an Origonal blue one paint it satin black, or NAPA has one that is very close, just paint it black.The filter is not a problem. TLS

I sold the decals that I had, but I might be able to get more if there is any interest. Let me know and I will see what I can do.. TLS
