I'm gonna install an oil filter relocation on my 2019 Yukon 5.3L. I bought a dual filter mount that will hold 2 oil filters. 
Ready for the silly ass Question?
1. can I use any oil filter (I prefer bigger filters) or do I have to use the prescribed oil filter? 
Seems to me oil pressure is oil pressure and any filter will do, Am I incorrect?
2. Is AN-8 braided lines big enough?

 

Thx for any help

Are both of the filters full flow? I know some install a dual filter set up with one being a full flow filter and the other is a by-pass filter.  If both are full flow what is shown will be fine.  No need to go bigger.  What brand filters are those?  You might want to change to a different brand  that has better filtration on a lower micron level.  Any questions for the most part on install you can contact the manufacture of the dual filter kit.  That will also add to your total capacity and I would prefill each filter before you install it to keep oil flow going as much as possible.

Just to add some better flowing characteristics, I would use a dremel and soften the 90° and sharp corners on the filter housings. MAKE SURE TO CLEAN THEM VERY WELL AFTER.

 

For the filter stuff I don't have enough knowledge to help.

In response to your PM: 

 

I expect you don't know this. Mobil gets 20,000 miles out of that filter series by letting dogs and cats through. Somewhere on the box in fine print, get out your magnifier, that 99.9% efficiency is referenced to 30 micron. The ISO  4548-12 standard is 20 micron. 

 

The GM wear test standard is a Beta Ratio of 75 or 98.7% but the reason is to find the smallest size that can be filtered with the efficiency or Beta Ratio as the reference. Then it's apples to apples. So how does the Mobil 1 do at a Beta of 75? 25 micron. 

 

In this forum go to and read Motor Oil / Filtration / 4 for the quick information then the other filtration post, #3 is an eyeopener for the nuts and bolts.

 

 

I spent some hours on your current question last night to hand you the best possible solution but it's you truck. I'm just offering INFORMATION....which is different from opinion...isn't it? :P

yes full flow.  They will be going back, glad I saved the boxes.  According to GrumpyBear, who I trust says the filtration is not the best on MOBIL1 filters.  Waiting on GrumpyBear to answer one more question.

OK, the replacement for that Mobil 1 filter in an AMSOIL filter is the EaO34.

Purolator Pure One PL22500. Are you reading the post I directed you to? 

 

You don't have to 8T6 your project. The number I gave you will work just fine as will the one Nick gave you. 

 

Here's a question I should have asked first. What is the purpose of your project? What do you want from it?

I'm 64, I've had 6 lumbar surgeries and don't get around like I used to. I did this mod to all my RAMS too.  Only I did it w/o asking anyone.  I'm tired of paying someone to do my oil changes. I'm tired of getting brake cleaner to clean under my oil filter and cross member. I'm sick and tired of cleaning my garage floor from lazy people working in the pit.  I'm gonna move the filters over to the driver side, just inside side steps so I can easily change "my" oil myself.  Plus I'm bored out of my gored and like working on my vehicles.  

I really appreciate all the help.  I apologize for asking you guys, I just should have done, like on my RAMS (4 new ones over 15 years).  I won't bother u guys again.

Your not bothering anyone. I wanted to make sure I was giving you the help you were actually looking to receive. Some are shy and just don't know what to ask or what information to supply. I just needed some clarity. 

 

A duel mount has advantages and some disadvantages. Higher flow for parallel systems lower the amount of time the system in in bypass with cold oil in the winter. This also makes lower relief valve settings plausible. Doubles the dirt holding capacity making it possible to run filters longer. Your can run tighter filters, to the same pressure drop as a single looser filter making better filtration possible. Which by the way is were I 'thought' you might be going. Why I asked about your plan/goal/expected results. As it turns out I was wrong. Trading as often as you do the added vehicle life would be wasted on your intentions. It's good to ask. That's the good stuff. 

 

But it also increases the amount of time it takes to heat the system up to normal operating temperature. If your normal drives are not long enough added capacity increases moister and fuel dilution. Why? Never gets warm enough long enough to boil it off. Cost is higher if materials is your only measure of cost.  

 

 

Ask anyone here, I'm an acquired taste. Meant no disrespect. 67 and a trashed back myself. Understanding what your looking to do...have at it as you planned. Those Mobil 1's will give you 200K  engine life but I still wouldn't run them a year or 20K miles. 10K tops in pairs. 5K as a single. IMHO.

None taken GBear!, After reading your last missive, I guess my next mod, which was an extra engine oil cooler coming off the other end of the bracket is a no-go.  Here in Abilene, TX the summers get into the 110-115 degree a lot. So I was gonna cool the engine even more.  Guess I'll put that oil cooler on the Trany.....  Anyway, Y'all stay safe, trouble is on the horizon if U been keeping up with the pols lately.  PQTUS will straighten them out.  

Purolator Pure One PL22500 or AMSOIL filter EaO34, decisions decisions.....   ")

I'll post pictures after the Mod, maybe a couple of days, Friday supposed to get up to 60 during the day.

I'm out

If you don't have a source for the AMSOIL filter let me know.  I can send a quote for two delivered to your door.  Sounds like a great project.  :)

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
