Some early 2014 Corvette 6.2L engines (RPO LT1) may have an oil filter that has an incorrect label on the can. The filter is correct, only the label is wrong.

The incorrect label says to replace the oil filter with a PF63 filter. (Fig. 16)

The correct service part is a PF64 filter, part number 12640445. (Fig. 17) Replacement of the filter for the incorrect label is not necessary.

When it is time for an engine oil and filter change, be sure to replace the OE filter with the correct PF64filter.

TIP: The PF63 filter will fit the engine. However, it is significantly longer and it is possible it could be damaged if the suspension goes to full compression.
