ACDelco UPF63R, 3K Miles

[redhat]

Oil changed on the 2024 Tahoe today with 19,962mi on the clock. Truck's 8th oil change.

OUT: Mobil 1 Euro FS 0W-40, ACDelco UPF63R
IN: Same

Filter looked good, I am very pleased with it... especially when getting the Amazon deal of 12-pack case for $16-19. A touch sloppy on the glue but not a big deal. Nitrile ADBV was still pliable and held well against the center tube of the one end-cap. Bypass valve has those ridges (I believe that some are not a fan of), but it was very well seated/tight in there. I was able to hold the entire element by it without it falling off.

Overall I'm pleased. I think this is my combo going forward.

I'll prob have a post up soon about my 20k review as I am super close, but still love this truck. By far the best new vehicle experience I've ever had.

8 oil changes on a 2024 with 19k miles? Wowza!

Couple two were early upon new, another one ran pretty short cause dealer maintenance (free OC) and didn’t want to run it long.

I see that Microgard Select photo bombing.
Good start to a long history. Keep it up!

Thanks! I try... I want to keep this truck for a long time. I try to service it well with a blend of reasonable cost/quality. I have all intentions of this being my daughter's first vehicle years from now. Maybe Dad will get an Escalade!

Looks to be a decent little filter. I wish it had a silicone ADBV and a metal crimped seam for the price.

These filters used to be known to be an M1 oil filter copy. I wonder if these filters will change in the wake of M1 changing.

Thanks!

This "Automotive Maintenance Tracker", is this a app or spreadsheet template?

This "Automotive Maintenance Tracker", is this an app or spreadsheet template?

It is an Excel spreadsheet I made moons ago. All you enter is date mileage and info and it calculates everything. It has multiple tabs that all report back to the “main” page that gives a snapshot of your services. Each tab has a spot to specify your interval.

I can upload it on here, my latest version, if anyone’s interested in using it.

I don't think the board will allow an Excel file upload. You'd have to upload it to a shared location, then post the link to download it from there.

Redhat is going to email me a cleaned up copy and some instructions. Once I get it, I will put it on my Google Drive with a shareable link.

Nitrile or AEM?

Nice pics. Would you please take a pic of both sides of the leaf spring after cleaning the oil off. We need to see if it passes the BITOG “ruffles have ridges” test.

Sure I will take some tomorrow and post them up.
