Swore those off when I realized they were dropping my oil pressure about 3 psi compared with the K&N and it only filters down to 30 microns while the K&N is down to 10-12 @ 99% and flows 16 ga

Umm.. why would you NOT change your filter every time you changed your oil?  They are ALWAYS supposed to be changed together. 

Haha I think he means the “brand”, not “the filter.”

Many filters claim to have ‘years long’ protection or 25,000 miles protection... I change my oil more frequently than 25k miles... I have always changed my filter when I change my oil...

Most do. I don't believe in long intervals regardless of the quality of materials I am using.

You just keep doing what it is that you’re doing, truck looks awesome and well maintained. Vehicle maintenance can very much be a personal thing as I myself do not look at cost as much as I look at quality and performance of the product. Most people in these forums are cost driven, look for something to complain about but some like myself are quality driven and stick with what makes my vehicle happy cause in reality, you definitely get what you pay for.

I think that at one time or other,  I have used them all.........Except for Amsoil.  Cannot even picture going 25K miles on oil.  Too much of an old school car guy.  Makes me feel good to change  it before 7K miles.........?

I'm quoting you because this idea interest me not because I'm picking on you. The idea that a filter is choice that would provide one instant gratification is not novel. Misguided but not novel. Many people hold this idea. Filter manufactures prey upon it. 

 

Let's look at the word 'instant'. You could literally run a hundred thousand miles without a filter at all and never have a 'problem'. At least not one you will likely notice. Cars did it all the time before 1923. Of course any school boy at the time could refurbish a worn out motor. Most today can even open the hood.

 

Filtration is thing that lengthens motor life and does so by multiples of a benchmark. 

 

Scroll down to the filtration post. Read the seventh post down.  There's not having a lubrication related problem for 100 K and then there is not having a problem for a million miles.

It’s up to with 25k miles of 99% which is pretty amazing. I change my oil every 4-5K miles, typically every 4K miles which makes me feel even better lol. GM even had something out last year I believe, stating to change OCI’s sooner than originally quoted. These engines require great oil and 20 micron filter with frequent OCI’s, anything less shouldn’t be optional lol

Most oil manufacturers, all if memory serves specifies going no longer than a year between oil changes. The average person goes between 10-15K miles a year. If a person drives more it’s easy to assume it mostly highway miles. That’s easy on a engine. So playing the odds. It’s a no brainer for vehicle as well as oil manufacturers pushing extended oil changes when most people don’t drive many miles per year. My wife and I both drive less than 10K miles a year now retired. That’s with 3 Texas to South Carolina trips per year. So it’s real easy to do one oil change a year.

Im fine with it that you quoted me, My simple fact is that its worked for me in alot of my applications without a failure. I beat on motors a little harder than most.

So failure in your world is mechanical strength? 

Okay, good to know.

Moving on then....

Grumpy, I read through the link you provided. It's well beyond my technical knowledge of oil/filters so I'm trying to understand which filter has the best results. Am I reading this portion right, that the Purolator Pure One had the best filtration results and the Mobil 1 had the worst (see the list below that I pulled from your link)? I've ran Mobil 1 oil and filters for years because they always came highly recommended, but if they've fallen off recently or never truly were that good I'm happy to make the switch to a better product. Any recommendations on your end?

 

Purolator Pure One PL22500 > 5 micron

Royal Purple @ 18/19 micron

AMSOIL Ea017 20 micron.

WIX/NAPA @ 22 micron

AC Delco PF63E @ 23/24 micron.

Mobil 1 M1-212A @ 25 micron

Ask him to “esplain” it to you, the micron amount at 20-30-50-60-70% full. How much are they actually filtering when that much full.

This should be intwesting! [emoji6]

Lol, I need layman's terms. What has the best results and what doesn't? Are you saying the difference is so negligible I should stay with the Mobil 1 filter?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
