No more ACDelco PF64? Now to use the PF64A?

[Burtess]

Noticed the PF64 seems to have gone bye bye… probably due to the Fram closure… so this is the other option from ACDelco now?

Black canister PF64A, # 19533697 ?

Picked a couple up from RA since they shipped from the same location of my other parts and there were no “normal” PF64’s available.

Made in Thailand, looks like a nitrile anti drain back valve, and it’s got a coil spring bypass valve with metal support (instead of the plastic support of the PF64)

Can’t find anything online to confirm a 22psi bypass?

Who makes this one?

Those are some of the best looking louvers I’ve seen in a while.

 

[BrendanC]

interesting. i wonder who the OEM is

 

[ZeeOSix]

They have a good louver making machine and know how to operate it, unlike some other filter makers.

Those oval holes might tip off someone.

Lots of filters have oval base plate holes. This filter is made in Thailand.

Keep zeroing in! PG is one that has plants in Thailand but I believe their holes are round. Perhaps an AI search might help.

Others may have factories in Thailand making filters for them too. It's crazy how many oil filter factories there are in Asia. Mr. Roboto says ACDelco uses factories in China, Mexico and Southeast Asia (including Thailand). It's even possible that ACDelco contracts directly with some of these factories without going through a middle man like PGI, M+H, Purolator, etc.

Since it's an AC Delco product, I have no doubt that it meets the 22 psi bypass. Interesting that it isn't constructed like the PF63A posted recently.

Finally got around to it. At the cost of $7.65 after tax. It definitely looks like a PGI filter. Got confirmation today from the parts department that we will be replacing the older pf63’s with these because they’re sourcing the filters “elsewhere”

I noticed it said AC Delco Advantage but not AC Delco Professional or AC Delco Gold.

Probably their bottom tier filter.

 

[Fair enough]

Delco silver line now, for pros. Why the least expensive filters are for pros must be because the pros make more money from them.

Don't know the filter efficiency, but the construction looks really good. M+H needs to learn to make louvers like that.

 

[Fair enough]

The louvers are the best and they copied Hastings, even better than the other kind.
