I’m looking for the best oil filter for my 2020 Trail Boss 6.2L and the search came up negative (see photo). 
 

Has anyone tried other oil filters than the dealership AC Delco one?

 

Cheers!

Still uses the same filters they did on the K2's. Still an Ecotec3 motor.

It’s expensive. Buts it’s arguably the best oil filter for your truck Amsoil EA017.

Go with Amsoil, you’ll never look back.

AMSOIL's filters  are all I use, even on my lawnmower.  If you are interested send me a PM and I can get you a quote on any AMSOIL product delivered to your door.

 

High Efficiency
Efficiency is a filter's ability to capture contaminants. The more efficient a filter is, the more contaminants it will remove from oil. AMSOIL Oil Filters provide a filtering efficiency in accordance with industry standard ISO 4548-12 of 99 percent at 20 microns — one of the best ratings on the market. Some competitors also claim 99 percent efficiency, but at larger particle sizes of 30 to 40 microns.

Less Restriction
Proper oil flow is essential to keep engine parts lubricated at all times. AMSOIL Oil Filters' synthetic fibers are smaller than the fibers used in traditional filters, allowing for lower restriction which decreases engine wear. Our filters allow oil to flow through more easily than a typical cellulose filter does during cold-temperature warm-ups.

Contaminant Retention
A filter's capacity refers to the amount of contaminants it can hold and still remain effective. AMSOIL Oil Filters have a greater capacity for small, wear-causing contaminants than competing filter lines. They last longer and ensure the oil is properly filtered.

Superior Construction
AMSOIL Oil Filters are made with premium-grade full-synthetic media. The strictly controlled processing of this media ensures accurate filter construction and delivers higher capacity and efficiency along with better durability.

referencearrow.jpgOur full-synthetic media technology is resin-free to resist degradation from hot oil. It features a rigid mesh material that is pleated with the media for superior strength.

AMSOIL Oil Filters are constructed with nitrile gaskets that remain flexible and have been tested to extreme distances in severe environments. They feature fully tucked seams, a molded element seal, roll-formed threads and a long-lasting, premium-grade silicone anti-drainback valve.

Easy-Grip Coating
AMSOIL Oil Filters feature a textured coating to ease installation and removal.

Wait! There’s an arrow? I’ve never seen it or looked for it lol!
This has got to be the most amazing oil I’ve ever used, 40k mixed miles, mostly idling and purrs like a kitten, runs like a tiger.

Btw, I used to use the Napa Oil Filters but switched back to Amsoil Filters because all the Napa Oil Filters leaked (Like a Kamala) requiring to be extra tightened like Biden’s brain.

I heard about the leaking Napa Gold filters so I ended up just going with the dealership AC Delco PF63/PF63E since this is the first oil change and I’m not going to go long change intervals. I noticed there was no E in the new filter part number but it did have the new high flow plastic core. I looked inside the factory filter and it was very different, kinda weird looking. The factory filter had a sticker saying “replace with PF63E” (see photos). I guess the new PF63 and the PF63E are the same as long as they’re both the AC Delco Professional Series. Correct me if I’m wrong.

There.  I did your research for you, even though you can look them up just as easily as the rest of us.

 

Personally, I quit AC Delco when they invented the "E-core" filters.  I use Wix now and have never had one leak yet.  But I install my own in the driveway from the Kamala position.  (Making Oil Changes Great Again!)  :D

If you don't like the PF-63E, use the UPF-63R.  Higher quality filter.  

Both have the same filter media, just the can is thicker and no plastic core along with a thicker metal top and different design. Been using PF63e. Never had an issue. 5k mile intervals.

Here’s the one the dealership gave me and neither of the part numbers match up to anything I’ve seen online... weird

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
