    You take off the filter on those 5.7s and there's a paper/whatever-element inside it. Toss it, and replace with another element, then screw back in. I think the filter housing itself is plastic and cracks somewhat easy if you tighten it down too much.

    i went to a local dealership picked up few filters. yes, the newer 5.7L V8 using the canister type filter, like the ones in MBZ and Accura motors, because they are "environmentally friendly", the lady at the parts counter almost laughed out herself while saying it.

    anyhoo, here is a picture i took with the filters side by side.

    i've been using the NG1516 for my old 2nd gen and the current 3rd gen. the size of it just makes the oil change more painful, i'm thinking to switch to the bigger V6 filter next time. i don't know the science of which one is better than other, just peace of mind.
