Ive been using ac delco's pf59 long oil filter for a while now but cant seem to get my hands on them anymore since theyve been discontinued, I was thinking about switching to a mobil 1 filter because I heard they use better filter media and they have the drainback valves....so does anyone know which one is a good alternative to the pf59? Thanks

Try wix 51060, or napa gold 1060, its a larger filter, im running those for last 2 year.

Mobil 1's are good filters, made by champion labs just like K&N's. If you can find a Mobil 1 equivalent to the extended AC Delco then use that.

The Wix suggestion is a good one too.

Rockauto is showing the PF59 in stock (as an alternate for the PF46, I think), although it's hard to tell if it's an extended-case filter by the picture.

stop using ac delco, unless it synthetic media version, if you look inside , the cage is made out of plastic and not metal like before, It caller E-core version ( cheap version ). I havent heard any engine damage by that yet, but few peoples having the filter media coming apart. I would look indo, wix ( napa gold ), pure 1, bosh, mobil 1, k&N, or if you have pepboy try the RP filter, its made synthetic media and can handle 13k+ miles. Hell motorcraft filter is nice too and cheap 3.45 at walmart and can handle 5k miles.

I've been using the AC Delco Synthetic Media UPF44 on my C-5 for several years. However, I recently got my hands on a couple of Mobil1 equivalents, due to an "oil change special" at Advance Auto Parts. After installing the Mobil1 filter on the car, I see that it's about 3/8-1/2" longer than the AC Delco filter, and I'm a little concerned because it hangs down past the oil pan, and around the same level as the crossmember.

My point is that I believe the UPF44 and PF46 are the same height, so if you wanted something "longer", the Mobil1 filter might be your ticket.

PF61 is the replacement for the 59.

Using this filter will allow you to use 6 quarts of oil?
