I decided to go with AC delco PF46 I'm changing my oil at 56% with about 5000 miles on it.

Mobil should have you on their Christmas card list for buying oil before you need it!

AC Delco Oil Filter

Here's a picture of all three Corvette Oil Filters. These are good for all 1997-2008 Corvettes (except Z06). The Corvette oil filters are all the same size. PF44, PF46, and UPF44. I like to use the UPF44 Gold Filter.

What is the advantage of using the UPF44 anyway? The PF46 is just a replacement for the PF44 that isn't made anymore isn't that right?

Thanks,
Bill

AC filters

That's correct about the PF44 vs PF46. Identical, just updated with a new number. The UPF44 has a 100% Synthetic Media that traps smaller particles and improves oil flow. Also has a Wire backing that protects the media from tears and provides uniform spacing between each pleat for again improved oil flow. Plus it comes with a Teflon Coated Gasket for superior protection against leakage and eaiser installation (don't have to grease gasket)and removal. Hope this helps. >George

Thanks for the information; already serviced mine this year next time maybe I will use the UPF44 due to using synthetic Mobile 1. They do not put this UPF44 on Vettes from the factory do they?

Thanks again for the info,
Bill

ac delco oil filters

No they don't use the UPF44 style from the factory. But Corvette in past years had black filters from the factory. My 1995 Corvette had a Black AC Delco PF51 style filter.I have pictures.

I, too, use the K&N filter and Mobil 1 syn oil. It's all a matter of personal choice. If you're going to change your oil on a regular basis I don't see what difference your choice of oil filters matter just as long as you use one that's dependable. I just prefer the K&N.

I change at 50%, Mobil 1, and I use a Mobil 1 Filter.
