AC Delco PF63 Cut Open

[PDSACA54]

AC Delco PF63 of GM 6.6l gas. Right at 5k miles on filter, approximately 15k on vehicle. I think that these are hard to beat for the price (<$3.50 each from RA). This one was from a free dealer oil change. I had placed some magnets on the filter for experiment sake. They hardly caught anything at all. I had already removed them before I decided to take pictures.
I know that there is a lot of hate for the e-core filters, but I don’t mind them at all. Any early issues have been long since resolved. I used to be a wix fan boy, but since they are no longer made in USA (WL10255 is made in Mexico) and they cost twice as much, I will be using these PF63’s for the foreseeable future.

Agree with what you said. Thanks for also posting the price you paid on Rock Auto. I will have to go on their site and price filters more often.

That RA price is great! Looks like a solid filter. Interesting that the magnets didn't catch anything that can be seen with such a new motor breaking in still. Thanks

The magnets caught just enough to see while the magnets were still on the can. It was still a negligible amount in my opinion. I used to get way more material off of the drain plug in my 04 Silverado that had over 350k miles on it.

If you ever can't find a pf63 the Walmart MP10575 is exactly the same

Fair warning I ordered a 6 from RA and they shipped in bulk no box, banged around in the shipping box to the point the blue paint chipped off and was in and around the filter. I would only buy if you were considering the entire case, then I would imagine they would ship the entire bulk box. Otherwise purchase the individually boxed filters.

What oil are you using in that engine? Do you also have a magnetic drain plug in it?

Got it, I would imagine the wear rate to be much higher on that 350k Silverado for sure. Thanks

This was the free dealer oil change that came with the truck (ac delco synthetic 5w-30). Prior to that I had run QSFS 5-30 changed in at 1k miles and 5k miles. No magnetic drain plug on this truck.

Not to highjack the ST thread - more info on the ADV - appears to be in the base model as well
They seem decent - and always holding some oil in the plumbing …

The Auto Extra 10255’s are filth. Made in Mexico and always tear. See my cut and posts in them.

What oil and filter went back in and on?

I Thank You

My last wix WL10255 went back on for that change. Just changed the oil again. PF63 back on it now.

Yes this must be new because I order a lot of filters off RA and just got Mopar filters loose shipped - they were each wrapped up so they were in good condition but I still much rather have a box to store them in while they wait for use. The Champ XL filters and cannister filters I ordered were still shipped in boxes
