Description of πŸ” ACDelco PF46E GM Original Equipment Engine Oil Filter

Is 20-25% smaller in size, yet has more filtration media for greater capacity. Has 10 times more open area in the core for improved flow. Has a steel shell, threaded plate assembly, and leaf spring that can all be recycled. Has a non-metallic cartridge that can be crushed to remove oil and can then be used as an energy source. Has a lubricity gasket for reduced installation torque. Has a full cover baseplate for easy installation in blind applications. Has a nylon core for higher strength and better flow characteristics. No metallic components on 'clean side' of filter media, therefore eliminating possible metallic contamination. Injection molded nylon core increases the structural strength to almost twice that of a traditional metal core. Synthetic end caps are ultrasonically welded to prevent media blocked by adhesives used in traditional filters.

Options GM 4.8 v8 - Parts

You no longer need to keep them at home. It's so easy to order from Amazon. Use them on my GM 4.8 V8. Have used this "E" core filter for the last 60,000 miles. No problems so far, just remember to change the filters at the oil change intervals.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • There are nuances

Perfect fit - a bit short

Well my Suburban 98 loves them but can't type on the keyboard. I love the brand and my Suburban has 301,000 on the odometer so they work well to keep dirt out of the oil. They're a little shorter than similar filters, but seem to work.

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Fits 2004 Tahoe Z71 4x4

This is the recommended filter for the flex fuel version of the Chevy Tahoe. To counter the reviewer's claim that the metal components in the original PF46 filter are better, see AC Delco's product information sheet for why nylon was used instead (see attached image).

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Hard to tell

THIS IS A SMALL REPLACEMENT FOR PF46

IT IS NOT HAPPY THAT THIS ITEM HAS BEEN REVISED BY AC DELCO, THIS IS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE AC DELCO PF46 OIL FILTER IN SMALLER QUALITY AND SIZE. CURRENTLY BUY ALL THE PF46 OIL FILTERS YOU CAN FIND. DON'T LIKE: SMALLER LENGTH, WEAK THREADED STEEL PLATE, SMALLER FILTER AREA FOR GM 6.0 ltr. and 4 cyl.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Acdelco filter oil filter

Good stuff in my opinion I've seen some people complain that they're not very good quality and I've taken it upon myself to buy a few , to find out for yourself Filter very resistant I wanted to crush it with my hands but could not. The filter looks like cardboard but is very resistant, know what you see on the sides, wanted to separate but could not and I will continue to buy them

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • No instructions

YOU MAD BRO!? on Oil Filters & Accessories

So much hate for this filter for getting smaller. Look man, I've had my commuter 01 for almost 20 years now and the trend I'm noticing is that the oil filter is getting smaller. That's not new. Maybe this is something for someone who has owned a Chevrolet for 6 years, but if you do a quick search on the internet you will see that the technology used in these filters allows them to use a smaller body design while increasing the surface area enlarge the filter media. This is the filter that Chevy

Pros
  • Good Cause
Cons
  • Reliability
