I haven't posted this in a while but I wanted to remind everyone that's completed an LS1 swap you can use the Wix 51522 oil filter which is about 1 1/4" longer than a stock filter. You'll get more surface area with this filter and maybe a little longer oil life. I used to use ACDelco but I haven't been able to find the longer filter anymore.

Does this work on the 5.3's too?
Tired ol' 5.7, 5.3 swap in progressHandle every stressful situation like a dog.If you can't eat it or hump it.Piss on it and walk away.
Yes it will. The ACDelco PF-46 is the smaller one but they both fit. Fram and Bosch both have a long filter but I've always been partial to Wix since years ago Fram used to hold the filter element together with a piece of string. They don't anymore though, most filters are built pretty sturdy these days with metal casings. You only need to worry about the how many microns the paper is or how cheap the paper is. If you change your oil regular I wouldn't worry about it.

....I agree just don't use a WIX fuel filter on a DMax.
PF61 is the new AC Delco# for the longer filter now.Originally Posted by NITROUS
The problem with the PF61 is it doesn't have the anti drain back valve in it like the Wix, It is a longer filter though.

The PF59 is long also...does it have a drainback valve???
The 61 replaced the 58. Not sure the 59 is the same.
What about the Mobil One M1-206?
