rico750sxi Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I have an AC Delco Pf 59 oil filter that I had extra for my '99 5.3L. Can I use it on my SS? I think it's just a longer filter otherwise it's the same right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 it should work fine. the smaller filter is used for flow speed and quicker prime at start-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSilverado60 Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 yeah its the same filter, just a little longer. I actually use the K&N filter that is supposed to be for the older ones, its spins on fine its just longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detjoe Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 BUT, going into the parts store and asking for the vette filter is cool ...quicker parime at start time...? what is that about--will the shorter filter add life to the engine?

deezel Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 I don't see how a smaller filter can flow oil faster than a larger filter. The larger surface area of filter material (in the large filter) should provide less restriction and thus, more flow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
