Default A C4 Oil Filter Question

Just sold my C4 (the one that graces the top of this page) and went to a C5. AC Delco just discontinued the UPF44 (Ultraguard Gold) for the C5. Does anyone know if they discontinued the C4 (l-98 or LT-1) filters also? Wondering if it was just the UPF44 that wasn't selling or the whole line of filters.

You might try your local Amsoil dealer for good filters. My 89 L98 takes either the SDF-24 (long style) or SDF-25 (short style).

About 6 months ago I bought 6 from Ken Fichtner. You might want to see what he has in stock.

Having cut apart MANY oil filters in my life, I can recommend the Mobil 1 oil filter for a very quality construction. PF52 = 201 Mobil 1, do not know about the C5s, I bought 3 UPF44s when I got mine from Ken so I wasn't aware of the discontinuation.

I purchase the Mobil 1 synthetic filters at Auto Zone or K-Mart.
