PF46 Filter (2) Part #s?
So I went to the local Chevy dealer and pick up a PF46 filter, got home and looked over my Oil Changing notes (thanks Forum) and noticed different part numbers. The notes I had showed 89036836, and the filter I picked up was 88984215. The filter I bought does say PF46 AC Delco, and "Duraguard" on it. Looks pretty small for a filter. Is this filter OK? This will be my first oil change on the vette, and I don't want to get stuck during the change. Buy the way the the SnapOn YA995 filter wrench (cup) fits the new filter perfectly. I have an 06 coupe.
Thanks
Frank

Just one more reason to change oil and filter more frequently than your DIC recommends.

Any minor change in configuration, even a change in suppliers, may initiate a part number change. If the box says it's a PF46, you're fine.

Say what you will about GM, but the one thing they got right was the oil life monitor. If you follow it, you won't harm your engine. Changing it any sooner is just wasting your money, it's not making your engine last any longer.

Everybody has their own opinions about the oil life monitor. Personally, I use my own calculations ( writing down the miles when changed and adding) instead of trusting the monitor. Again, that's just what makes me feel good. Also, I like the older larger oil filter.

Hi All,
There are two numbers for the PF46, but the filters are the same how bout that!
We sell you the 89036836 number because it is a Durapack number... which in human terms is the filter without the box. This filter costs 2.90
The 88984215 is the PF46 that comes in a cute little box for 4.13
So, we try and take care of everyone by selling them the filter without the box to save them money!
Thanks,
Gene.
