I was wondering if anyone knew what oil filter I would need for a LS3 motor.
I swapped out the oil pan (from southern performance systems) so It would fit in my 67 Camaro. I wanna fire it up tomorrow. But just need this stupid filter.

I heard I Would need a truck oil filter? Out of what truck and what motor?

Thanks

 

If it uses a standard LS truck filter, there are only two or three to choose from. Try a 2000 5.3 pickup and a 2009 5.3 pickup and see if those fit. I think the early trucks and the LS1 cars got the same filter.

 

Thank you, I will go down to the auto store in the morning and hopefully they have both of them.

But will a 5.3 be the same as a 6.2?

 

You need to see what threads it has. If its the early standard thread one is a Delco PF46 and if its the later its the PF48. The taller filters may work as well they are the same fit just taller for more filter area.

2006-Current
PF63 taller filter (4.828") for the newer 22mm threads.
(PF48) shorter filter (3.45") for 22mm threads

1999-2006
older stuff
PF46 is the shorter (3.404") for 13/16" threads
PF61 is the taller (4.526") for 13/16" threads

 

perfect info. I love straight forward answers.
Are those delco numbers? PF48? I hope they that one of the 2 is right. I cant wait to start her up, and hear that straight 3" exhaust rumble.

 

Yes that is the delco number. Don't worry about 48e and 46e its just the same thing as 48 and 46 just with an e on the label lol

 

Details on the "E" its not just a letter.

Info from ACdelco
ACDelco has announced a redesigned Original Equipment (OE) oil filter that offers ACDelco's exclusive Duraguard media in a smaller package.

The new OE filter applications PF46E, PF47E, PF52E and PF61E will be installed in applicable new GM models.

The new oil filter features:

• Increased efficiency and higher burst and collapse strength
• A new Nylon core that provides better flow characteristics and improved collapse strength
• A full cover baseplate that allows easy installation in blind applications
• Duraguard media, ACDelco's trademarked synthetic cellulose-blended media that
efficiently filters particles as small as 10 microns -- 1/3 the width of a human hair -- to
ensure a clean supply of oil to engine components
• A combination relief and anti-drainback valve that prevents dry starts and assures oil flow
(where applicable)

 

GREAT info guys. I am glad Bo could clear up the "e" on the filter.
