    It amazes me the number of questions that get asked here, when the answers are in the owners manual that came with the car. The manual will tell you which AC Delco filters should be used with your car. The same engine (LS2) used on 3 different model years requires two different filters. The LS2 used in 2005 and 2006 models requires a PF46 and the LS2 in a 2007 requires a PF48, which is also used on the 2008 LS3. So, the same engine model over 3 model years requires two diffrent filters. READ YOUR MANUALS FOR THE CORRECT INFORMATION!!! Simple as that, if you don't have one it can be found on the web, or I am sure that you local Chevrolet dealer can order one for you for a nominal fee.
    I've been rolling under C5's and C6's now since 1998 changing oil filters and I've been using PF46's on each one for years. I didn't see any need to look in the owners manual - it's an easy rut to get into. Considering that I had three cars in the garage with "LS" series engines before buying the new 2008, rolling the car up on the ramps first was just normal.

    I wasn't stupid enough to pull the old filter off first without taking a closer look at the sticker on it.

    Easy enough rut to get into so it I don't consider it "amazing" one little bitty bit. Finding that the PF-48 cost 2 buck more was more of a surprise.

    Time for a group hug - it's only an oil filter, it's only an oil filter, it's only an oil filter.

    avacorvette, you 2007 LS2 should also take a PF48 according to the AC Delco website. The 2005 and 2006 LS2 requires a PF46 according to the AC Delco. So, you can stick your PF48 oil filter in the face of any LS3 owner.
