Very good paper filter. Never had one leak. I wish they had a better grip, difficult to remove by hand sometimes. But they're less than $4 at Walmart. Any more than that is simply price gouging.Friday, November 29, 2013
Cheap ACDelco PF61E Professional Engine Oil Filter
I saw a not so impressive review of these new "e-core" filters on YouTube. I had one on my 2002 Envoy, so I had to take it off and cut it open and see for myself. I was not overly impressed with this filter. It does have the paper end caps, which I guess would not be a big deal, but they came off the filter core with little effort. It looked like the area where the filter pleats came together (to make a complete circle) was not bound the the end cap at all. The filter I took off the truck only had about 1000 miles on it. I am not sure how it would have held up for the full distance I usually run my oil. I will skip these filter from now on. If you use conventional oil and change every 3000 they may be okay to use, but I use synthetic and never change short of 10,000; I have never had an oil related issue. The last vehicle I got rid of had 230,000+ miles on it, ran just fine and did not consume oil. Every fill up of gas is 50 to 60 dollars so whats a 60 dollar oil change every 10,000 or so miles?
