Default Oil filter

2013 Grand Sport with manual trans. What's the recommended oil filter for this model(C6). The owners manual states there is a particular high pressure oil filter needed for this model because of its dry sump system. Any experience with this issue. Please give recommendations with the part #.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I don't think it would be different than any other of the LS7's or LS3's with the dry sump which use the AC Delco PF-48e. There's been some discussion about the E core versus the non, but I personally just use what I can find.

I thought the dry sump engines used the UPF48 filter?
