Who makes this filter?

Appears to be a Purolator from my view point. Looks like you have a leak. Have the same motor in my '99 Silverado, I degreased the entire under carriage when I thought I had a leak. Come to find out I did not and someone was careless when adding oil,over the years and it just needed a good cleaning!
Definitely not a Purolator looks more like a blue Mountain, either way it's generic

Since when is Ashland blending for Peak?

peak is a wwp product

Peak's not Valvoline, the Valvoline filters are white (at least all the ones I've ever gotten are)-change that BM & cut it open!
That's a Chinese made Valvoline filter. Take a peek at the hundreds of em' I cut open

Ruh?
Peak = Old World Industries (don't know who makes the oil)
Zerex is the Ashland (Valvoline parent) antifreeze brand, but maybe Ashland also supplies motor oil to the competition for the right price.

You'll have more information when you take it off, if it's Valvoline the part number starts with VO

Sorry, I'm over complicating this. I was saying that Valvoline makes the Peak oil (google returned some forum talk saying that, but it seems that it is actually WPP) and Blue Mountain is the Peak brand filter, so maybe it was from the 2 year old change on the sticker.
The back story is that I picked up a Suburban that has had the odometer/indicator not working for 2-3 years. So mileage, and what was done when is unknown. I got the impression they'd been driving it but the oil change sticker was so old yet the oil so clean that it didn't add up.
