2006 C6 Oil Filter
Recently purchased a 2006 Base Corvette LS2 and am planning to change oil soon. I looked at all the stock oil filters available but they seem small.
Is there an Oil Filter with slightly larger capacity than the stock size filter I can use in place of it? I know it will be slightly longer.
Or should I just stock to the stock size filter ?
I am new at this so your thoughts or input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Oil Filters
There are several good filters out there: Wix, Mobile, and some others. I use the K&N HP1017 for my LS3. I believe the LS2 takes a HP1007. K&N oil filters have a nice 1 inch nut on the end that makes them much easier to remove and they filters well.

Will consider all filters including AC-Delco....Checking into the different top brand filters they all seem to be good if you pick the top of the line.
Checked Mobil 1, K&N, AC-Delco, Bosch ...It's just a matter of pesonal preference.
Thanks again,

No problem! The K&N and Mobil1 filters are both manufactured by Champion Labs and they're great filters also. The reason I stick with AC-Delco is if GM specs them and warranties their engines for $100K they're going to get the job done.
Kind regards,

I use the AC Delco PF46 on my LS2 also. It has a few months remaining on the GMPP. I just did it this weekend. I change the oil and filter once a year due to I only drive 3,000 miles a year. I use a strap wrench to remove and replace it. It's very easy to do.

I believe your K&N info is correct. I know the K&N HP1017 is 48 series compatible which fits 2007 LS2 and all LS3, LS7, LS9 engines.
