C5 Oil Filter

[Wayne L.]

For those of us who want to have an original oil filter on our C-5's for judging, what oil filter (brand, number, etc.) was originally installed? Thanks, Wayne

Wayne - don't have judging manual in front of me and azzume you don't own one and highly suggest you buy one. It would answer your question and many more.

The final test judging for the C5 was done in Charlotte. The manuals will be up dated and sent for printing. If everything goes right they should be at the convention in Denver and official judging starts after the convention
I don't have the info at work but from memory I believe the oil filter is a PF 44. I am sure it is a blue AC filter.

It may depend on the year. I have the original from Dad's 2002, which is blue, and then bought a case of matching filters.

Re: C5 Oil Filter

Rick, I would like to buy a judging manual, but they have not been written yet! I've been doing this for many, many years, and I have a full set of judging manuals and AIM's. I am also the NW judging chairman and I have a full set of all judging manuals published by NCRS. So, I am starting to help write the judging manual for 2000-. If you have any useful input, we highly suggest that you forward it to the proper people.

Patrick-Mine is a 2002. Would it be possible to check to confirm blue AC, PF44 or ?????
Thanks, Wayne

AC PF-44. Guaranteed! Also, I'm virtually certain it was the standard blue. Now, as to configuration of the label at that time, I can't tell you.

At the risk of speaking sacrilege: Have you looked in the owner's manual for the recommended oil filter?

Re: C5 Oil Filter

Not a C5 guy but I do know factory oil filters of the era had a red line on the filter housing and/or the filter sticker that's just not there on the service replacements...is that being judged ?

Re: C5 Oil Filter

I still have the original oil filter from my 2002. I can dig it out and take a couple of pictures if that would help.

The original PF-47 filter from my 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP has no red line either on the filter body or the label. However, I believe the label is different from the label used on SERVICE PF-47 filters. I have no 2004 era PF-47 filter to compare it too, though. The label on my original PF-47 has a bar code on it. I'm not sure, but I don't think the SERVICE filters had the bar code.

Original filter from my 2002 convertible. The car came off the line about 7AM on October 4 2001.

The label is the exact same configuration as the label for the original PF-47 on my 2004 Grand Prix GTP.
