My wife has a 2005 Yukon Denali XL with 6.0. I've changed the oil since we've had it and the store's book has always called for a PF46 oil filter (I use AC Delco)... Well today I stopped to get a oil filter to change her oil and they didn't have a PF46. I thought maybe I'm losing my mind and I dont know the right number. I look at the oil filter reference they have and it says PF61E (with anti drain back) is the right filter. I was pretty sure I've never used a PF61E but I bought it because the reference said it was the right one (i triple checked the reference). I got home and found that I still had a filter for her truck and it was in fact a PF46. Was there a part change?

 

Anyways I installed the PF61E and it does not hang lower than the oil pan (actually oil pan is still about an inch or so lower) so I'm not concerned with clearance. Just curious if anyone else noticed a part number change. I check my Sierra with the reference and it still calls for the same PF48 the it always has.

Your Sierra also can use a PF-63 ..it's a longer version of the PF-48.

So pf63 is longer version of pf48 and pf61 is longer version of pf46? I haven't seen a pf63 and was mostly concerned with the reference now saying pf61 for my wife's truck which used to say pf46.

From what I understand the E in the part number stands for ENCORE and that is a cheaper verison filter. I believe what I have read is that the internals are constructed of cardboard, like the cheaper verison Fram filter. I would change that filter to a non-encore filter if it was my truck.

Reading the detail of the redesign, it looks like a manufacturing cost saving change.

 

Maybe I will start using all those Mobil 1 filters I have collected.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
