ACDelco PF61

been running Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 and a Fram XG filter in my buddys 08 colorado for 6,000 mile oci's. could the PF61 delco do a 6k oci with ease or no? is it better suited to a 3-4 k oci?

Whats the vehicle? What are his driving conditions? Clean Engine?

Id say the filter is no problem since its not an ecore but using Mobil 1 Extended Performance at 6k OCI is just a waste of great oil! I'd keep doing the same thing but extend the OCI out to 10k imho. The XG filter is very well built filter. Mobil 1 Extended Performance + XG filter = 10 OCI pretty easily.

a 2008 colorado with the 3.7 5 cyl. 70 miles a day round trip back and forth to college. engine is clean except for one time, when he ran royal purple and ironically, a PF61 filter for 10,000 miles. someone had changed it before, i have done all his changes after this royal purple run, oil coming out the engine was fairly sludgy, and the dipstick has a heavy coat of varnish on it to this day, from the RP.

Woah wait a second, there's an XG for the 3.7L??

I was literally just at Canadian Tire and the book had a blank under the XG category for the 5cyl... Ended up buying the more expensive Mobil 1 filter instead. Mind sharing the filter model so I can pick that up next time??
