How can you tell if you need the shallow pan filter or the deep pan filter?

Hi Jeremy, glad to assist you! Shallow style and deep style 4L60E oil filters look very similar, but a casual inspection of your transmissions oil pan will let you know which filter style to order. Shallow 4L60E oil pans are all one depth. The bottom of a deep 4L60E transmission oil pan has a step down that covers 3/4 of the bottom of the pan. This CARQUEST Trans Filters Transmission Filter (Part No. 96065) has a shallow tapered pan. To check the compatibility, please provide us with the year, make and model of your vehicle.
