Help! Oil filter compatibility

[Batmobile]

Hi everyone,

Proud owner of a new to me, '07 Cadillac XLR-V, 147k kilos on the clock. I wanna do an oil change, and learned from reading posts on the forums that everybodys' favorite is Mobil 1. I guess I'll go with OE and get 5W-30.

Anyways, as far as oil filters go I'm not sure which one to go with. Options from a quick search are Royal Purple, FRAM, BOSCH, etc.

Does anyone know the OE oil filter number so that I can cross check?

What's your go to oil filter?

Thanks. Looking forward to learning more about this beast of a car from fellow owners.

Cheers.

ACDelco part number is PF26. This is listed in the owners manual. If you don't have one, you can find it on this site under the the Tech Center tab at the top of the page. Then just click on your model year, it will bring up a new page, just scroll down until you find the owners manual. You can save it for futre reference.

Hey, thanks Cubby. I'll cross reference using the number provided. So there's no preference on oil filters, or do people usually just go with OEM?

I have used amsoil ever since I purchase the car - oil and filter

Anybody have a perspective on the PF26 being superseded by the PF63? My gut reaction is that the smaller PF63 is a less capable filter in terms of flow rate or capacity, but I assume it doesn’t work like that or GM wouldn’t have made the replacement.
