I just have my wife take it to the dealership since she works at another one right next door. I do all my own maintenance on my trucks but I just don't want to mess with my car when it comes to anything with the motor. Including oil changes.

DO NOT use this pos filter..i did some net research after mine leaked..turns out they are made of cardboard inside

buy a purilator or k&n..i use k&n myself..twice the quality of that acdelco rubbish

PF48E in my Camaro, and PF47E in some other cars.

No problem whatsoever.

Nothing wrong with that filter . I install 10 a week on trucks and cars ..
But in my car I run the ac delco upf48r. A better filter .All the vettes get them as well..

Agree the UPF48R or Mobil 1 M-113 here for my LS3's. No way I will support GM on their 48E enviro filter. Lots of decent choices out there, some real poor ones also. Be aware.

8balldeluxe · 07-05-2016, 10:36 PM

That's the filter I use, no leaks, change every 3000
