C6 oil change
« on: May 02, 2024, 03:24:34 PM »
I am about to do an oil change on my C6 trans I am running a TCI deep oil pan and I am trying to find the correct filter I can get a TCI one in Australia Part I came up with was TCI Part # 428501.
Is this what I should get or What do people use for built deep pan C6's?

Aren’t those cleanable? Thought it was a very fine screen.

That TCI 428501 is a Mopar filter. As seen on the Summit site.
It requires an adapter to mate with the C6 valve body.

TCI website is no help.
For ALL their filter options, they show a generic photo of a GM 4L60E filter kit.

There are 3 different factory filters for the C6.

The early "flat" filter for the passenger car shallow pan.

Slightly deeper filter for the later "Truck deep pan".

Truck 4X4 filter that is basically the same depth as the "Truck deep pan",
except it has a rubber grommet and a small tube extension for the deeper yet 4X4 pan.

The 4X4 "Ford type" filter is what came with my Summit branded deep cast aluminum C6 pan.
I don't know the depth of the TCI pan you have, or if the Ford 4X4 filter would fit.
Every 20 minute job is 1 broken bolt away from becoming a 3 day ordeal.

Just to add - here’s a couple pictures of what the Ford 4x4 C6 filter & extension look like, and the Ford part numbers. The extension is obsolete from Ford, but Trick Flow makes a reproduction you can get from Summit. I don’t know how deep your TCI pan is either, but maybe this might help.





And the Trick Flow extension

The TCI pan is an extra 2 quarts and the pan comes as a kit (pan, pan gasket, filter extension, filter) I am pretty sure I just need a filter and i am pretty sure you get just a generic steel screen filter.
I didn't really want to pull the pan and then have to wait and order a what I needed but I may have to
