PF44?
I'm getting my stuff together to make the first oil change on my car and......
Is it me or does the PF 44 ACDelco filter seem alittle small? We are trying to filter 6.5 quarts of oil, and and extended drain period on top of that. They say the oil can last up to 10,000 miles between drains. I don't disagree, but I don't think the filter can handle 2000 miles. The filter looks like a lawn mower filter. Do I have the wrong one? I hope so...........

Re: PF44? (BarryR)
Barry is right, the UPF 44 offers better filtration. We recommend that you change your oil filter when the DIC says that you are at 50% oil life. The oil still has plenty of "good" left in it but this technique keeps the oil cleaner. Plus a UPF is less than $15. you'll need to add a 1/2 quart of oil too.

Re: PF44? (Randy K)
I use the Mobile 1 Filter, M1-107 I think... its a high-end filter usually $8-12. Everyone has an opinion, but I think its just as good or better than the "Gold" Delco one.
Some Fbody owner use a larger volume filter, the one for trucks, if your concerned about the volume.

We are out of the UPF44 filters at this time. AC DELCO is supposed to be shipping about mid April. I will post as soon as they are available again.

Guys,
We have a ton of the UPF44 filters in stock!
Yes, we do only sell them by the case, but if you buy a case which consists of 6 filters, you won't have to worry about buying some for awhile.
Price per filter is: $7.95 and shipping is only $5.00 per case, so you actually save money getting a case of them from us.

Re: PF44? (BarryR)
You might consider using UPF-44 filter. I think its the same size but has better filtering ability (8-10 microns vs 25-40).
