Yeah the PPE - Premium High Efficiency Oil Filter is "In stock soon" , so no luck there and I'm a bit shy of this filter because I've read several reports failures with this filter. The AFE 4-packs are "currently unavail" and were when I made this post yesterday also. There simply aren't options.

Yes, I am aware that the following filters are 'common' crossmatches for the AC Delco PF66 Wix WL 10351 ACDELCO UPF66R CHAMP / LUBER-FINER PH10066 However, NONE of them are available anywhere. I was hoping there is another filter with the same threads/dimensions that would work.

I cannot find one ANYWHERE! Time for my next oil change and I simply cannot buy one. check out rock auto... https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,2020,silverado+1500,3.0l+l6+diesel+turbocharged,3445630,engine,oil+filter,5340 I even bowed down to the evil dealership and attempted to order one from them. The order goes through but you immediately receive a followup email stating they have no stock, and no known resupply date. Is there another known equivalent size/thread filter I can use??? Thanks in advance.

How do I get this app? I want it!

I did use the oil kit from Amazon and everything went fine. I will say they designed the crossbars and parts underneath to make the oilchange very simple and clean. No dripping onto your frame or anything.

I refused to buy the oil at the dealership here, Don't want them getting a single penny out of me. I did order that oil change kit from amazon and I have emailed Mobil 1 about where I can buy their ESP2 locally, but their advice was to give my local suppliers the mobil 1 stock number so they could order it. However none of those supplier CAN order it! It's not available to them in their systems. I was just curious about what the differences were between the gas/diesel versions of that Dexos. I think I got my answer a few posts above and its mostly about the Diesel Particulate Filtration. Thanks again.

These two statements: 1) "... The vehicle may have to be driven for up to 13 minutes at speeds greater than 41 km/h (25 mph) before a shutter begins to move. If low ambient temperature is detected, the shutters will remain in the closed position..." 2) "... If the conditions for opening the shutters are reached the engine control module commands the active grille air shutter actuators to open one or both shutters..." indicate that the shutters will be 'normally closed'. So when warming up in the morning at 0 degrees, should those shutters be closed? Because they are always open when I check them. I am always parked when I check them, but I'm checking them because my engine isn't getting to the normal 210 degrees while warming up, or on short trips. If the vehicle must be moving before the shutters can change their state, I guess I'll have to set the cruise control on a straight road, climb out the window and over the hood so I can lean over and see if they are actually closing eh? It's risky but I guess I can try it /wink.

Its going to be 8 degrees tonight. I went out to warm up my truck and I peeked through the grill to see what was going on with those shutters. Drove all the way into town, engine never got up to the temps I usually see, approx 210. At what temp do those shutters close?

I tried to get my first free oil change at the dealership but they failed at several things including keeping my appointment timeliness. So I must change the oil myself. I ordered 7 quarts of the AC Delco DexosD 0w-20. My question is what is the functional difference between: DexosD 0w-20 (dexos for diesel engines) And Dexos 0w-20 (for gasoline engines)? I asked because its nearly impossible to find DexosD but I can find Dexos2 0w-20. I live in remote interior Alaska and its very problematic to find this unicorn oil.
