The correct oil filter number depends on the engine. The 2007 GMC Envoy came with either a 4.2-liter inline-six or a 5.3-liter V8, and each engine uses a different filter.
Engine options in the 2007 Envoy
In 2007, the Envoy was offered with two engines: the 4.2-liter inline-six and the 5.3-liter V8. Because the filter is engine-specific, the correct part number depends on which engine your SUV uses.
4.2L inline-six
If your Envoy has the 4.2L inline-six, you’ll typically use one of these common GM- and aftermarket part numbers.
- ACDelco PF47
- ACDelco PF47E (extended-life variant)
The exact number can vary by market or service history, so verify with the current filter or a VIN-based lookup.
These are the most commonly recommended filters for the 4.2L engine in a 2007 Envoy. When in doubt, verify with a parts specialist or compare the old filter’s threads and gasket to ensure a proper fit.
5.3L V8
For the 5.3L V8, a different set of filters is typically used.
- ACDelco PF52
- ACDelco PF63
As with the 4.2L, confirm with a VIN-based parts lookup or by matching the existing filter.
These numbers cover the typical filters used on the 5.3L Envoy. If you can’t find PF52 or PF63, ask the parts counter for a filter compatible with GM 5.3L V8 engines and confirm by cross-referencing with your VIN.
How to verify the exact filter for your vehicle
To ensure you select the correct filter, use a reliable lookup method and compare physical characteristics when necessary.
- Check the owner’s manual or a GM parts catalog for the official oil filter number associated with your engine code.
- Inspect the existing filter on the engine and compare thread size, gasket diameter, and overall dimensions to the candidates (PF47 for 4.2L, PF52/PF63 for 5.3L).
- Use your vehicle’s VIN to look up the exact part number at GM Parts Direct, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or similar retailers.
- When ordering, specify the exact engine and year to avoid mismatches, and confirm the filter is compatible with your oil type (conventional or synthetic).
Practically, the most reliable route is VIN-based verification or consulting the dealer parts desk, which will pull the precise GM number for your Envoy’s engine.
Summary
The 2007 GMC Envoy could be equipped with either a 4.2L inline-six or a 5.3L V8. Because each engine uses a different oil filter, the correct number is not universal for all Envoys of that year. Common options are PF47 or PF47E for the 4.2L, and PF52 or PF63 for the 5.3L, but you should verify with VIN-driven lookup or by matching the current filter. When in doubt, consult the owner’s manual or a parts specialist to confirm the exact part number for your engine configuration.
