Hello,
i have an ls6 block with 241 heads, my oil sump wasnt the original i found out.
Anyway, ordered a HP1007 k&n oil filter and it wont screw on. The filter that came off ADA102112 blueprint one, has a very slightly larger thread around 1mm bigger then the HP1007 filter.
My number on the sump is 12624617 but no date on it.
Any ideas what i should fit or what it should be before i just order a new Blueprint one ADA102112?
Many thanks for any help

Yes, it does work.You put your oil filter number into the Manufacture Part Number column and then it tells you all kinds of things about your oil filter.
Your ADA102112 has a 22x1.5mm thread, the Wix equivalent filter number is 57060.
The K&N HP1007 has 13/16-16 thread, and will not fit your oil pan.
The PF46 also has 13/16-16 thread, and will not fit.
The PF48 has the 22x1.5mm thread you are looking for and is the same size. Hence the Wix filter is also 57060.
This website is very useful, I'd bookmark it and take a closer look at it. It should prevent you from buying the wrong oil filter next time.

The part number you posted for your oil pan seems to be a replacement oil pan for a 2007 to 2011 Corvette. So if you need one in the future you'll know what car the pan was from to look up a replacement.

Around 2007 GM switched from 13/16" to 22mm filter threads on all LS oil pans. Even if you buy a replacement pan for an older LS powered car, it will come with a 22mm filter thread. So the new filter to look for is the AC Delco PF48 or equivalent. You can basically look for replacement filters for any 2008+ LS powered car (Corvette, Camaro SS, etc) for find compatible filters.

Thanks all,
Have bought a kn hp1017 one.

Yeah, my camaro was the same(larger) I don't want to hijack your thread but......does this mean the oil pan/motor was replaced at one time or another???

Gav

Hi,
i bought the engine with a very deep pan on it which was too low ground clearance so i bought a shallower 2nd hand one with matching dipstick etc

Measure the male thread sticking out.

US based stuff tends to be 13/16....some old Rover or K-series filters will fit that

Some newer stuff incl Monaro etc will be M20....small Citroen filter would be common.

To add to this, if you have your older pan (mine was broken) the threaded insert WILL swap over to the newer pan and you can continue to use the old filters, which is what i did.

Gav

Ok, didnt think of that, will dig out old pan for next oil change.
thanks

When I used the old FBody sump, I just changed the 13/16 fitting to M20....

And would ya believe, the female thread in the pan was M20 anyway, they adapted it to suit what would be a more common filter in the US.

Cant comment on later stuff though, it could well be M22.

Easy to measure the male thread to see.
