Actually I would prefer that GM put the bypass valve back into the block but we have to work with what we are given...

Here is why I use the PF64: A) top mounted bypass valve - which means the oil does not sweep by the filter media when it does into bypass mode B) bypass valve pressure is 22PSI rather than 12 for the NAPA and yes I can't wait for the 0W-40 Dexos 2 - might just use it in ALL my cars Ref...

OK - so I got myself a 2010 Silverado with GM's Oil Life Monitor. I have always changed the oil at the dealership according to the OLM with conventional 5W-30 oil. So this summer my wife got a 2015 Equinox that specifies Dexos oil. Well not the type to spend a whole lot of time thinking about...
