C&P Penzoil Platinum HE

[jetman]

Filter Penzoil Platinun HE# HPZ-28, oil was M1 5w30. Neither had many miles.

I recently bought a new to me 02 Corvette Coupe w/5.7L LS1 w/60k miles since new. Previous owner since 2004 always ran M1 5w30. He was not a DIYer. Oil and filter had been changed not long before I bought the car, but I didn't like how the oil filter stuck down lower than anything else under the car, so I did an oil & filter change. Here the filter that came off.

Looks like a good filter too me. I tore it so see what it looked like.

What say you?

Congratulations on the ride! This filter looks to be low mileage & great shape! I'm going to assume the HE stands for High Efficiency? I know the standard PZ filters aren't. Always loved their yellow bottle of oil. I would tell my father how much I liked it just for that reason alone & then he would go into a rant how Arnold Palmer commercial re-runs ruined it for him.

Corvettes sit LOW. This filter was ta longer model for pickups and such. The correct filter would be an HPZ-48.

Looks like a built-by Purolator. Was there a date code on the can?

Last time I checked on this filter a couple of years ago it was a Mann&Hummel filter of sorts.

Jetman,
That oil filter looks great.

ZeeOSix I agree filter may be a PureOne. Purolator PureOne's are advertised having a "PTFE impregnated NBR sealing gasket for ease of installation and removal" that is advertised for this filter also. Base plates look the same too.

Can't really read it very well.

I find that increasingly common as my days go on... To be fair it is a bit fuzzy on my end too.

Even though fuzzy, it does look like a Purolator date code ("J" is the year?).
