I have been using Napa Gold's 1522's(pf59) on my 2003 Silverado and 2002 Camaro z28 for about a year now. Both vehicles call for the pf44(napa gold 1042)short filter. It is about 1 inch shorter then the long version. From 1999-2002 the Silverados were using the long filter but in 2003 GM changed it to the short filter. I asked 3 dealers and they had no idea why. Do you think GM decided to go with the smaller pf44 to save money or are the smaller filters better for the engine.
The guy at Napa said he would go with the filter the book says to use because the bigger filter will not cover engine damage if warranty comes into play. Should I go back to using the small filter? Do you know if the longer filter is giving ma any bennifet of causing any harm? I'm loosing sleep on this at night! Thanks for the help!!!!!
