How do I know what kind of pan I have: shallow or deep? I want to replace the filter and they gave me those two choices....and I don't know which one I have.
Thanks,
Gabe

5.3L.
Would have put that in the info but they asked me that info before I wrote the question...figured it would be included.

I crawled under the truck after I asked the question and it is not totally flat the lenght of the pan. it does step down for about 3/4 of the pan.

Thanks.
