Default Oil Filter

I'm going to do some searching here, but what is the current take on which oil filter to buy for a C6? The manual says AC Delco PF44. I've looked at one store in town so far, and they didn't have any. I WONT buy Fram either.

Thanks!

I bought a case (six) of the UPF44 filter from Fred Beans. It's supposed to be Delco's high performance filter.

Amsoil has one of their new filters, the Ea032, or the older SDF32. I think Mobil has one, the M-101 if memory serves but I would double check the Mobil number. Both are considered to be good oil filters.

I don't think they make the PF44 anymore, it's been replaced with the PF46. They do still make the UPF44 though, this is the Ultraguard Gold filter.

I much prefer a higher flowing filter though, such as the K&N HP1007, or a Wix filter (which is identical to NAPA Gold, Carquest Premium or Kralinator)

And don't forget, the LS7 uses a different filter as well as the 07 LS2 (they both use the PF48)

Mobil 1 oil filter is M1-107 for the 2006 LS2.

Thanks guys. Is the '05 LS2 the same as the '06 LS2? I think it is, and the '07 is the different one?

I am using the K&N oil filter. The part # is on the K&N site...I can't remember it off the top of my head. I bought mine at Autozone, and have seen them at Checker Auto Parts.

Yes, 05 and 06 LS2 use the same filter, and the 07 uses a different one.
