ACDelco GM Original Equipment PF48E Engine Oil Filter

It's OEM replacement parts. Nothing fancy.

Good.

Reviews have to be realistic....this is an OEM filter that says it all , depending on the vehicle and engine type it is used for ( many engines from 4 to 8 cylinders ) installation or removal maybe be a breeze of a pain in the buttocks .Therefore easy to install is meaningless, as is the mileage part of the review.I do my own oil and filter changes on all 3 of my vehicles at 3.500 hundred miles which often is more than 2.500 to as much as 12.000 miles sooner than some oil manufacturers say their oil will last. THAT IS A PIPE DREAM if you want reduced mileage and don`t care about wearing the engines internals go 15.000 miles between changes.Oil and filters are less costly than are replacement engines, you cannot kill them with kindness but can certainly do it with neglect. In addition by doing changes sooner tan recommended I have gotten over 350 thousand miles from all my vehicles in the past 35 years and achieved better than their stated average gas mileage some as much a 8 mpgs.So if your Chevy uses this filter ...buy it ...it is OEM ..and will last the length of the factory specified change interval

This is the standard for my vehicle, I like to keep two or three "in stock" just because I dont like to run to the store and hunt them. Convenience

PF48 is a little smaller than the PF48E and is also less expensive. I received a PF48 filter in a PF48 box p/n 19433934 with a sticker on that box labeling it PF48E. If I wanted the PF48 I would have purchased a PF48 for 1$ cheaper. Next time I'll purchase this part from my local autoparts store.The following is how Bing Copilot AI compares both filtersDifferences:Bypass Valve: The PF48E has a bypass valve, which opens when the filter becomes clogged, allowing oil to keep flowing to the engine and preventing damage. The PF48 does not have this feature.Size and Weight: The PF48E is taller and somewhat lighter due to its plastic structure. It also has plastic anchor points on the inside, while the PF48 has full metal ones.Center Tube: The most significant difference is the center tube design.In summary, both filters are high-quality options, but the PF48E may be better suited for shorter oil change intervals, while the PF48 can handle longer intervals. Always choose the filter that matches your vehicle’s specifications and maintenance requirements!

That is why it is cheap and it does fit. From a car forum - "The original PF48 was replaced by the PF48E ... The problem is that the PF48 was a good filter with metal parts inside ... The new replacement PF48E is a poor quality filter with cheap plastic parts inside." I don't know how this compares to aftermarket (non AC) brands....

Consume reports has rated AC filters as some of the best filters available. That's good enough for me and my 18 year old truck i purchased new. Still running great with 140,000 miles on it.

A lot people don't know this filter is designed especially for chevy engines because internally in the filter has especially paper and big release valve when the filter get dirty release oil pressure to prevent damage you engine just in case you don't change in correct time . And lubricated the engine with good oil pressure all the time.
