I've always used the longer AC Delco PF-52 filters. They have the same pattern as the PF-47 but have more filter medium. I believe that they are directly interchangeable. It should be noted that not all oil filters are alike. Some brands use longer more dense filter mediums. I read an article a while back and it gave some good info; [url]
