2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Oil Filter
Choose the oil filter by engine and VIN, not by model year alone; use a GM/ACDelco application catalogue for current part numbers.
Confirm the engine, trim, drivetrain, market and installed equipment before using a part number, capacity or repair procedure.
Manufacturer oil-filter identifiers
| Reference | ACDelco / GM number | Fitment note |
|---|---|---|
| Current GM parts listing | PF63 / GM 12735811 | Silverado 1500 2015 listed; confirm VIN |
| Earlier service designation | PF63E | GM lists PF63 as replacement |
The current catalogue and VIN fitment checker take precedence over an older paper parts list.
Which filter fits?
Chevrolet’s current parts catalogue lists ACDelco PF63 (GM service number 12735811) as an oil-filter application for the 2015 Silverado 1500. PF63E was superseded by PF63. Confirm your specific VIN and engine before purchasing; current service numbers can change.
Replacement tips
Use the correct filter sealing gasket, lightly oil the gasket if specified, and follow the filter manufacturer’s installation procedure. After an oil change, start the engine, check for leakage and recheck the level. Do not rely on an unverified cross-reference or an outdated superseded number.
- Verify engine code and VIN when using a dealer parts counter.
- A new filter belongs on every regular oil change.
- An oil-filter leak requires stopping and inspecting the seal before driving.
Reading a superseded number
A filter box or older repair invoice may show PF63E or a different GM stock number. An updated service number does not necessarily mean the old filter was incorrect. Check whether the number is a documented replacement and make sure thread, seal, bypass and fitment requirements match your engine.
Use the correct model-year manual and current service information. Stop if instructions or safety precautions are unclear, and use a qualified technician for work you cannot verify.
