Oil filter question
I'd like to run a taller oil filter on my car if possible. I'm pretty sure I've read that there is one intended for trucks and such that would work. Does anyone know what application I could use to find this filter (I.E. 97 Sierra half ton 5.7 or whatever)? I'd like to use a Purolator Pureone. I've looked at the oil filters available for my exact application, they are all pretty short, the only exception is the K&N which is a little taller but is like $13.

Yup, I did some digging over at LS1Tech and I got the skinny. You can look up a '97 C1500 with the 5.7 and get the right part number. Here are some for reference:
Purolator Pureone PL34631 Purolator L34631 K&N HP-3002 Mobil 1 M1-302 Delco PF1218 Bosch 3510 STP S5

I went over to Advance and took some measurements. Most of the F Body filters are about 3 1/8" high, with the exception of the K&N, which is about 4 3/4", 1/2" of which is the nut for wrench removal. The truck filters vary in size, 5 1/8" for the Purolator, 5 3/8" for the Mobil 1, 4 1/2" for the AC Delco, and 5 3/4" for the K&N (again including 1/2" for the hex head).
Keep in mind if you have long tube headers you may not have enough clearance to use some of these.

I'm not a fan of K&N oil filters after we played around cutting open filters one day at the garage. The innards of the K&N were very brittle. From our highly unscientific hacking I'm a fram fan lol.

Every actual comparison I've ever seen put Fram at the bottom of the list, without exception.

I used the tall one for the 1500 on mine before I got the oil temp adapter, the tall ones are a must have for those of us running LT's. (IMO)
after I put the adapter on it dropped the filter down 2" so the shorter filters are easier to get at now, but still don't mind using the taller ones.
