Very good filter, it has a "nut base" for removing and installing. The K&N oil filter # is 1007. My $.02

One additonal thought - many years ago on my Buick Grand National I learned about magnets on the oil filters. So for the last many years, (the Buick GN, 97 Camaro Z-28, and now the 03 MN6 Vette) I have put a filter mag on the side of the filter. I can not prove any difference, but if there is a small piece of metal floating around in there, the magnet will get it of the filter material does not. I take the filter off the engine, then take the magnet off of the filter. Just my .02 worth.

I use it and it works great.
