Oil filters - Am I experiencing brain fade?
 

Hi Gang:

I seem to remember a post on here some time ago about the PF44 oil filter being superceded. At the time I thought nothing of it because I had several stocked up. Guess what - they're gone!

I tried searching, but got nothing on oil filters at all. I know this is old news, but what's the new AC Delco oil filter number for C5s (2000 LS1)?

Or am I experiencing yet another senior moment ...

Thanks :cheers:

Just went through this a short time back myself. If I remember correctly, the PF44 has been replaced by the PF46. The AC Delco premium filter is the UPF44. I could not find them locally so I ordered them from gmpartsdirect. I received them in three days, happy camper. You should stock up on them and save a little on shipping. GOOD LUCK. :cheers: :rofl:

:iagree: Same thing on my end. Bought two from my local Chevy dealer and did my first oil change. I was surprised to see a different part number on the filter I removed. Now the car is up in the air, no oil and I have what looks like the wrong filter! :mad Called the parts department and learned I was given the correct filter, just a different part number. PF46 is the new number. AC Delco also makes a super filter but I don't know the part number. It costs about $7-$9 as compared to the under $6 for the PF46. :chevy

I think Ken Fichtner (supporting vendor) has a supply of the premium UPF44 filters available. For the extra couple of bucks each, I prefer these to the PF44 or PF46.
Just my $.02

K&N HP-1007 :yesnod: Has a anti-drainback valve to eliminate dry starts. :seeya

lyonsh,

The Premium Ultraguard Gold oil filter part number is 25329389. RWH
has a good point, it's best to stock up on them and save a little on shipping and Handling.

Drainback valve doesnt do squat the way the filter is oriented on the C5. It only helps marketing for those that don't know.

An antidrainback valve definitely helps even on a vertical mount! It keeps the oil directly above the filter from flowing back into the pan on shutdown. It's not as critical as it is on a sideways mounted filter, but it does indeed work.

Anyone know whether the Mobil-1 oil filters have the ADBV?

TIA!

Cash (for $10, it better have the ADBV!) Mullen

Yes, all Mobil 1 oil filters come with the ADBV. To verify, look through the holes in the top of the filter, and you'll see a black rubber flap in there. If there was no ADBV, then you'd see the metal endcaps of the filter through those holes instead.
