PF48R oil filters
These seem to be un-obtanium in Edmonton....I have had a case ordered for 2 months and still no arrival....all references to Wix and K&N etc only list the regular PF48 filter....
Anyone out there know anything different? |
You can order them from forum vendor Kevin at Partstaxi. He will send them USPS and the total will still be much less than you can get them for here. The only difference between the 48 and 48R is a slightly thicker wall for a bit higher burst pressure rating. That's why aftermarket manufactures only list the one filter.
:cheers: |
Thanks a lot!

Are they a better filter than the K&N ones? I've been using K&N's on my 04.

I have plenty of them here whenever you need some. Thanks everyone! Kevin |
Maybe a few of us could split a case.
|
Get the Napa Golds. They are like $7 each and very good filters. I stock up when we go to the US. I probably have half a dozen C5 filters at the moment.

Is the PF48R an AC part? Who makes them for AC?
|
Kevin/Wilf make a good point... For the 3000 miles a year I'll put on the car I'd only use 2 oil changes a year but would split a case with another local GTA on the PF48R filters to CBI and will pick up from there if anyone is interested? Or we can buy a whole bunch if the group is interested?
|
We sell them individually to, we don't make you buy a whole case if you don't want/need that many.

From what I see the PF48 is the same filter as the UPF48R except the latter has a stronger shell for a higher burst strength although nowhere is there a number to say what the burst strength is.
I like K&N for the nut on the end to make getting them off easy. The K&N has a burst strength of 550lbs. If the manual says use the R then pay the extra otherwise you can pick either. |

Kevin, can you PM me a price for the UPF48R and if anyone wants they can piggy back an order off me?

Not 100% correct. The UPF48R actually offers much better filtration then the stock PF48.
GM’s HIGH PERFORMANCE - HIGH PRESSURE OIL FILTER IS BACK Members, Here is the latest news that we have learned from GM Powertrain. GM Powertrain has released a new oil filter for the 2009 Corvette. The new design UltraguardTM Gold UPF48R oil filter will be used on the following OEM applications: Z06 - LS7 7.0L and ZR1 - LS9 6.2L According to GM, this filter was designed with the following in mind: “With the addition of piston oil cooling nozzles and other unique lubrication system requirements, a new design dual-rotor oil pump is required for the LS9 application. The new design oil pump produces greater volume and higher system oil pressure. To meet those requirements, a new oil filter with higher BURST strength is required. The UltraguardTM Gold UPF48R filter (U is for Ultra and R is for Racing) is black in color, has a thicker exterior shell and can be identified as GM part number 12626224. The internal components are the same in both the UPF48R and the PF48 oil filters. The UPF48R can be used in applications where the PF48 is specified. GM requires the UPF48R for the LS9 application and is also used for the LS7 application as both engines are built at GM’s Wixom Engine Performance Build Center. Members, Tell your friends that you can use this new UltraguardTM Gold UPF48R filter (part number 12626224) with all 2007, 2008 and 2009 C6 Corvettes that stipulate the use of GM’s PF48 oil filter, if you desire this new higher burst strength racing design.

GM Part Number 12626224 – UPF48R Ultra Guard Oil Filter - Currently used on the 2009 Z06 and ZR1 engines. Can be used in place of the PF48. Words from ACDelco: Rely on Duraguard Oil Filters to: Trap particles as small as 25 microns, insuring a clean supply of lubricating oil flow into the moving parts of your engine. Provide a leak-proof connection with the double lock seal at the base of the filter shell and gasket retainer plate, so dirty oil stays away from your engine. Thermosetting adhesive seals hold the paper media in place for consistent, dependable oil filtration throughout the filter. UltraGuard is worth its weight in gold for your engine – ACDelco Ultraguard Gold Oil Filters. Protecting engines better than any other oil filter on the market, ACDelco Ultraguard Gold Oil Filters are built using state-of-the-art filter technology that helps them reduce engine wear by 74%. In addition, ACDelco Ultraguard Gold Oil Filters remove contaminants before they enter the engine with the highest efficiency rating on the market at 98%, trapping particles as small as 8-10 microns. Ensure a fresh supply of oil to the bearings, rings and other moving parts. Have a Teflon-coated gasket that protects against leakage and makes them easier to install and remove.

Spec's: Beta Ratio: 2/75=8/22 Max Flow Rate: 10-12 GPM Nominal Micron Rating: 21 So that means: Beta 2 ratio = 50% efficiency at 8 microns Beta 20 ratio = 98.6% efficiency at 22 microns & it flows 10-12 gallons per minute max IIRC, AC Delco Ultragold oil filters are suppose to flow really well. & use a synthetic media to filter really well. That was back then before they discontinued them. I guess they brought back the name...but not the synthetic media ? But hats off to Wix filters for giving actual filtering spec :thumbs: |
I did this post up a year ago re: UPF48R filters
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/cana...l-filters.html I'm sitting on 2 cases of these right now so if anyone needs some locally I can let some go, have to work out a price on them. Mike, I still have 2 PF48s sitting here with your name on them. We never hooked up when I had the filters with me so this year we'll try again. Perhaps next week if you are at WN tech sessions I'll bring them with me. Tony |
