I searched and searched but couldn't find the thread that had the part # for the larger oil filter for a 3.8, any one know off the top of their head what it is?

I just put a GM crate motor in my 2002 fire bird and would like the extra capacity.

 

Specs are the same between these two, other than the height.
I don't like these Fram types, but the brand cross reference info on their site is handy.

I know for the Amsoil filter it's EA023 and the Wix filter is 51036.

 

You can use the PF52, which is slightly larger than the stock PF47. It will give you about an extra half quart of oil.

I currently run the UPF52 with 5 quarts of oil in my '96.

 

Perfect! thanks guys.

 

The transmission lines on mine are right in the way that the larger filter would rub, is that the case with you guys too?

 

I'll have to look but tranny lines bend..lol

 

Just went out for a smoke and took a peak at my tranny lines, I wouldnt have any issues at all with a longer filter.

 

Hmmm.

 

It should fit without an issue.
