Default Oil Filter nipple/threads

Stupid question, hopefully an easy answer.

Does anyone know the part number for the oil filter fitting that goes into the oil pan? Or an aftermarket replacement? If not the pan thread pattern would be super helpful.

I took mine out to clean it of corrosion. I lost it over the rapid expansion of the build, and my specialty of poor organization habits.

I would like to retain the factory filter and location. I don't know what this part is called... at least not by any name that will get me a direct hit in online searches. Or by AC Delco or aftermarket. Not finding it in parts lists for the c6 oil pan either...

To the best of my knowledge:

2005-2006 cars take a PF46 filter and have fitting P/N 12552357.

2007 LS2s and all LS3s take a PF48 filter, which has a different thread. They take fitting P/N 12600225.

I think all wet-sump C6s use the same oil pan, so you could probably buy either fitting depending on which oil filter size you want to run.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Cool thing is everyone who searches, this will come up and see your post so

I ended up asking summit chat and they even have it on their site. Same p/n you gave me: 12600225

So thanks again.
