Oil Filter
I know this is an old old topic, but I can't find it anywhere in the forums. What is the preferred oil filter for the LS1 (2004)? For some reason I thought there was a Mobil 1 filter but the guy at Advance Auto parts said he didn't know that Mobil 1 sold filters. If they don't, which is the best to use?

I use the UPF44 also. And yes, Mobile 1 does make a filter for the C5 but I don't remember the number either.

I recently pulled off my UPF44 and threw it in the garbage can. Now running a Balwin B31 and my oil pressure is much better.

Baldwin B31 is an excellent filter - same as the AMSoil filter.

Will the PF46 fit on an '02? I think I read somewhere that the PF46 was for '03 and newer. Am I 
or not?
I'm actually have a PF46, that I bought one day while at Pep Boys, but have not yet tried to install it.

Mobil 1 Filters
Mobil 1 does have a filter. It's number M1-107 and available from Auto Zone and Mid America to name a couple sources. I use them and they have increased the oil pressure 2 to 4 lbs over the stock filter.
