I’m probably a couple of months away from my first oil change but I have started to look for a filter for the 2011 V-6 engine. I only want to use a Mobil 1, Amsoil, AC Delco, or a Wix filter. The manual calls for an AC Delco PF 63. Problem with this filter is the length. From what I can find the PF 63 is a longer version of the PF 48. I think the filter on it from the factory is a PF 48 but I'm not 100% sure. The filter on the car from the factory is about 3.25 inches long. The Mobil 1, M1-212 filter is 4.45 inches long. There is not a lot of clearance between the end of the filter and the electric fan. I just don’t see how the PF 63 can be installed, if there is even room to start the threads on the filter, and not touch the fan when it is installed. A filter any longer then about 4.75 inches will hit the fan housing when installed.
Has anyone actually installed one of the above brand filters their V-6 engine and had room for it to fit?
