Review on πŸ” ACDelco UPF48R Engine Oil Filter - Genuine GM Original Equipment by Rud Starks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great filter Installed on my 2010 Camaro SS (L99)

Installed on my 2010 Camaro SS (L99). They are not listed as official parts for the Camaro LS3/L99 but fit perfectly and work great. This filter was recommended to me by some members of a large Camaro forum as an alternative to the regular Delco PF48 which has some plastic internals. I wanted something with a thicker steel body and full metal innards and it fit the bill. The only downside I can think of is that it doesn't have a bolt welded to the end like the K&N oil filter I used before. This screw makes removing the filter much easier. So make sure you have a good oil filter wrench, especially if you have a Camaro LS3/L99. I bought a small steel topped wrench as I think that's the only thing that will work due to the fit of the filter. There is very little room in the design for a filter wrench as the filter is installed in a cutout near the corner of the oil pan. I change my oil rigorously every 5,000 miles with Mobil 1 5W30 Extended Performance full synthetic oil. After my last oil change with this filter, my oil still looked like it had thousands of miles of life left. One day I plan to analyze it to see how it really is.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
