The 2015 Silverado 1500 uses a standard spin-on oil filter with a 3/4-16 thread size. The exact part number depends on the engine (4.3L V6, 5.3L V8, or 6.2L V8), but GM OEM and equivalent aftermarket filters designed for 3/4-16 threads are compatible across these engines.
Engine options and filter compatibility
The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 was offered with three main engine choices. Regardless of the chosen engine, the oil filter is a conventional spin-on type that uses a 3/4-16 UNC thread. Here is the general guidance you can rely on when selecting a replacement:
- Thread size: 3/4-16 UNC. This is the standard size used by GM for the Silverado 1500’s spin-on oil filters across the 4.3L V6, 5.3L V8, and 6.2L V8 engines.
- Filter type: Spin-on, full-flow oil filter designed for conventional engine oil; ensure the replacement matches the engine’s oil capacity and viscosity requirements.
- Common cross-reference: GM OEM filters such as AC Delco PF63 (and equivalents from major brands) are designed to fit this thread size and are widely used as replacements.
In practice, you can choose any filter that is rated for a 3/4-16 thread and designed for the appropriate oil type and engine capacity. Always verify compatibility with your specific engine and model configuration.
Confirming the exact filter for your vehicle
Because the Silverado 1500 offered multiple engines in 2015, confirming the exact filter part number ensures optimal fit and filtration. Here are reliable steps to verify the correct option for your truck:
- Check the owner’s manual or the vehicle’s service schedule for the recommended filter model for your engine.
- Inspect the current oil filter for any stamped or printed part numbers; even a partial number can guide a correct replacement.
- Use your vehicle identification number (VIN) on a dealer or parts retailer site to pull the precise filter specification for your exact engine and options.
- If in doubt, ask a GM dealership parts counter or a qualified mechanic for the correct cross-reference based on your engine code (4.3L, 5.3L, or 6.2L).
Following these steps helps ensure you choose a filter that matches the 3/4-16 thread and the filtration needs of your specific Silverado 1500 configuration.
Summary
For the 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500, the oil filter size is standardized to a 3/4-16 thread. While the exact part number varies by engine (4.3L V6, 5.3L V8, or 6.2L V8), GM OEM filters like AC Delco PF63 and valid aftermarket equivalents are compatible so long as they match the thread size and filtration requirements. Always verify with your VIN or the vehicle’s manual to confirm the exact replacement for your truck’s engine configuration.
