This filter and Safety Kleen synthetic 0w20 was in and on a 2021 Cadillac small suv with 2.0 engine for 7,900 miles. Same filter and oil back in and on. Mileage is 38,090 now. OLM was 10% left so I reset it. Stuff on concave end is either glue residue that softened up or…. It wiped/smeared easily.

Looks like a purolator made filter. For all the gripe we make about efficiencies etc. these filters still look good to me. Great pics!
I try my best. Have a factory filter off a 21’ Silverado truck with 3.0. Sad GM made a extended cab “red out” graphic package truck with 4WD and put a gutless 3.0 in it. I’ll cut that one later

You'll have to bear with me b/c I'm not up on the latest 3.0L GM. Is that Diesel or Gas? You know GM is more about MPG than some of the other manufacturers. Perhaps, that was the goal in that heavy truck configuration. GM has a good history of long life engines too though.
 
Looks very good to me at a substantial 7900 miles. The label seems to imply that topic filter made at the Wix factory. Definitely has Purolator type construction, but M&H has been moving Wix construction in that direction. I'm going with made at Wix factory. Louvers look fine.

As for no slits/indention on adbv, 'to me' looks most as though M&H Wix has narrowed the central/inner area of the adbv that had extended on to the inlet holes on Puro made that cut. That said, can't totally rule the outer seal area on tapping plate may be raised some, but I favor the former choice. Either way, improved results here.

As an aside, I tried to look up the equivalent Purolator on their site for possible comparison pics, but parts look up there completely useless. :(

Somewhat interesting, GM still using block bypass on some new models.

Thanks for c&p.
