Finding The Right Oil Filter For Holley Ls Oil Pan

The Holley LS Swap Oil Pan is designed to fit GM muscle cars, classic cars, and trucks, as well as other LS swap projects. It provides maximum clearance to the chassis and ground while offering an OE (Original Equipment) style fitment. The oil pan includes a sump baffle, pick-up tube, sump plug, oil filter stud, and oil passage cover. It is compatible with the AC Delco PF48 or PF48E, Mobil M1-113, Wix 57060, and K&N HP-1017 oil filters.

Oil filter adapter

An oil filter adapter is often used to relocate the oil filter and/or add an oil cooler to your engine. Holley's LS Swap oil pans, for example, are designed to help with maximum chassis clearance and OE (Original Equipment) style fitment. The oil filter adapter threads into the oil pan and is tightened to 40 ft-lb.

Holley's LS Swap oil pans come in three options: the original design, part number 302-1, is similar to the fourth-generation F-Body oil pan; the 302-2, which provides additional clearance on the front portion of the oil pan; and the 302-3, which features additional exterior clearance at the front sump. All three models have an oil capacity of 6 to 6.2 quarts, including the filter.

The Holley 302-1 oil pan is designed to fit GM rear-wheel-drive applications originally equipped with a Small Block or Big Block Chevy engine and a traditional rear sump oil pan. It has a maximum crankshaft stroke of 4.25" and a sump oil capacity of 5.5 quarts. The total oil capacity with a stock oil filter is 6 quarts. The oil filter adapter should be installed after the oil pan is bolted to the engine to obtain proper torque readings.

The following oil filters are compatible with Holley oil pans:

• AC Delco PF48 or PF48E
• Mobil M1-113
• Wix 57060
• K&N HP-1017

Oil filter stud

An oil filter stud is a component that threads directly into the side of an engine block, allowing for different configurations for mounting an oil filter. For example, the Nubis oil filter stud enables you to bolt your oil filter directly to the engine block, run an oil filter sandwich to an oil cooler and filter, or use a remote filter adapter.

The Holley VK090000 kit for LS Swap oil pans includes an oil filter stud, along with other components such as a sump baffle, oil passage cover, sump plug, and a dipstick. This kit is designed for use with GM F-Body and X-Body platforms.

Oil filter relocation

Finding the Right Kit

To find the right kit for your engine, you need to know the oil filter nipple thread size and the flange ID and OD size that will accommodate the filter's o-ring seal. This information can be found in the specifications for your engine's stock oil filter. For example, the replacement oil filter for a 2017 Camaro 6.2L is a Fram #XG12060, or equivalent. Fram lists the XG12060 filter as having a 22mm x 1.5 nipple thread size and a 2.45" ID and 2.75" OD gasket diameter.

If you are undertaking an LS swap project, there are a number of oil filter relocation kits available. Trans-Dapt Performance offers a range of kits, including single and dual filter kits, with vertical or horizontal ports, and various hose lengths. Hamburger's Performance also offers a range of kits, including single and dual filter kits, specifically for LS swap applications. Sikky Manufacturing offers LSX swap oil filter relocation kits with 3/4-16" thread size, available in single or dual filter configurations.
