Or the simplest option that doesn't involve a failed sending unit--plugged oil filter.

Yes as long as I can still get AC PF1218 from my local parts store, that's what the Burb gets. Just took a Fram off it, from an oil change I had to do on the quick and cheap back in January( also known as the Dreamsicle incident). It came off fine, but the one I used on a long ago change on a square body Burb came off in pieces. I use AC and no problem. One thing I have learned on the oil filter base though; if you clean it too well, the filter can get stuck on the block even if you lubricated the gasket with fresh oil. So now I wipe a little of the old oil on the filter mount and no sticky filter next time.Or the simplest option that doesn't involve a failed sending unit--plugged oil filter.

The SBC engines don't have an oil pressure sender filter, right?
I was just thinking about it the other day. I believe the LS engines have that filter, and it's a pain to remove and if it clogs, you will get lower oil pressure reading.
No, none that I've seen. Seems a bit idiotic to have a filter there.
Maybe that's what is making my 06 Denali 6.0 think it has (and when cold actually does have)low pressure on initial startup. Didn't know they had this. Where is it located (sender and filter)?Idiotic for a 350, yes. Not so much for an AFM 5.3.

I lubricate my oil filter seals with silicone spray. You can get it at the auto parts store, and it's consistently better than using old oil.One thing I have learned on the oil filter base though; if you clean it too well, the filter can get stuck on the block even if you lubricated the gasket with fresh oil.
