Corvette Oil Filter ?
Corvette Oil Filter ?
I just went to Parts Source and looked at the 90-95 zr-1 Oil filter and it looks as though there was no way it would fit on our cars. can someone clarify this for me.

I've been using them for the past year. If you looked up a regular corvette it will be wrong.

Re: Corvette Oil Filter ?
Uh huh, thats the whole idea. The gasket is slightly wider too but it will still seal fine.

Re: Corvette Oil Filter ?
dudes cant you get it, <p>1)bigger filter means more cleaning material to clean through your dirty oil<p>2)bigger capacity, means you gonna be able to have more oil in your crankcase, thus reducing risk of running dry at high rpms, or if youre doing lots of racing(bigger crankcase helps a lot in this situation).

more oil does not mean more power
more air usually means more power
