Default ZZ4-Which oil filter?

Time for a oil change and filter and I forgot which filter it takes. I'm pretty sure it's different than the old L-48 number.

AC/Delco, Purolator or Fram is all I can get in this area.
Thanks.

Delco PH1218 is the larger high volume filter. That is the one I use on my ZZ4.

Sorry Bob, it is PF and not PH as I originally typed.

The type of oil filter that works in my 68 works just fine in my ZZ4.

I bought one of those repro AC Delco white oil filters from Paragon. The early C3's came with these white filters. Looks nice, but costs $25!

Fram is bottom of the barrel. If that's all you have to choose from, get either of the other two and you'll be fine.

Yes they are, and if we're using price as a comparison - Pennzoil filters are even worse.

EDIT:
Just did some research and found that the Pennzoil filter is a re-cased Fram element with the same drainback, end caps, etc.

Purolators come back highly recommended though.

I went with the A/C PF-1218. It's a bit longer than the PF-454.

Thanks all!
