PF52 vs. PF47
Quick question about the oil capacity, The 5.3 takes 6 qts right?? Is taht with the Short filter (PF47) or the long filter (PF 52). The PF52 isnt that much bigger but I'm just curious. THANKS!!

So nobody checks the level after an oil change?? I know its probably just a small difference , but w/ the oil consumption problems I would make sure its on the full mark at every oil change.

Sorry, this will be my first oil change in this truck and the jackass at the parts store sold me the wrong filter. I just checked and AC Delco parts site and its PF47 (short) and PF59 (long duraguard). So now I have to return it.

I will try and find the longer filter though, more filter area .. I can't think of a downside for that one.
