I use the NAPA #1522 on three LS type engines - LM7 (5.3 truck), LS1, and a GM LSX block 427. It works great on all these. The only question I have is this: NAPA calls this their Gold Filter. Why then is the body of the filter black?

I actually got to see this filter in person, on my brother's SS. It does hang a bit low, but as stated previously, it still sits higher than the K-member, so there should be no troubles with hanging up on anything.
When we changed the oil in his car and upgraded to the taller WIX filter, a month or so ago, we didn't add any more than the standard 5 1/2 Quarts of Mobil 1 Synthetic. Dipstick read well above the full hash mark.

Wix now makes the 51522xp which they say is designed for full synthetic oil and for heavy duty use.
I run this on my '13 Silverado (5.3L LS Powerplant), and also on my '09 Chevy factory V8 Colorado (5.3L LS Powerplant)

I thought LS engines took 6 quarts?
Both of my LS engines take 6 quarts so
