Default PF-47, PF- 52 Oil Filter
Delco A/C oil filter, will they fit a 95 SSEi? Sorry folks I've been using Fram. I think I may be able to get a half decent deal on some, but unfortuanatly it'* in bulk, so I half to ask, if it will fit.


Thanks

Frank, I believe that PF-42 is Fram PH 3387A and PF-52 is PH 3980. They will both fit with no problem although the PH 3980 is a longer and therefore better filter. If the pricing is the same then get the PF-52.


Am I correct on this folks??????????

Moved to General Chat.

Looks like you answered your own question. lol

Yes those are the correct AC Delco oil filters. And PF52 is longer.

The PF 52 is longer... But you need to know what angle the Filter is pointing at... Also you have an oil cooler, you need to make sure that the longer filter will not bump the Subframe...

Buy a single ST3980 at Wally World and make sure it fits your car. If the ST3980 fits then the PH3980 and PF-52 will fit.


The stock is PF-47, ST3387A, and PH3387A BTW.

There'* two different Oil filter adapters that I've seen.... One points the filter straight down and would not work with a 3980, the other brings the filter towards the middle of the car at a 45* or so and will work with the 3980.
