In light of the latest revision of the PF63,
1999 version:
2023 version:
2024 version:
I thought I'd start a thread where the various aftermarket equivalents can be posted.
On my 2017 Silverado 2500HD w/ a 6 L, I had been using a WIX 57045 . Now that I have a 2024 w/ the 6.6 L gasser, it looks like the WL10255 is the WIX equivalent. The bypass pressure has been increased to the new GM spec' (22 psi).
WIX 57045:
(4.75" long)
WIX WL10255:
(4.5" long) Hole area increase?
I went to the local garage today & checked their stock.
Carquest R84060:
(3.34" long as per catalog)
Carquest R84502:
(4.08" long as per catalog) 2 more holes, but smaller.
I have no idea if the Carquest filters are shorter because they are their 'Regular' grade vs their Premium.
Can anyone post pics of other brand's versions of the 'early' and current PF63 filter? It will be interesting to see if the aftermarket revises the hole count or diameter in the baseplates of their filters. I'm a retired tool & die maker and never saw any parts w/ holes spaced that closely together & pierced in 1 station in the die due to the space constraints for the punch holders & die buttons. Hole piercing might be a 2 station arrangement.
