I purchased this filter from Rockauto a couple of months ago for my dad's truck... 2000 Chevy S-10 with the 2.2 4cl which calls for a PF47. I figured I'd try out a Mahle for the heck of it. Two days ago I went to check out my stock and figured I'd open it up and check it out for grins. To my surprise the threads were starting to rust.. the other filters I have stored in the same place, including another Mahle filter had no rust or traces of it on the threads. I went ahead and cut it open.. you know,for science. Underside of base plate shows rust as well and notice the pleats. Looks like the truck is getting a PF47 or a Fram TG. This filter was made in Mexico not Austria.
