New Oil Filter Design

I was at Advance Auto Parts yesterday and found this out. It looks like GM is changing their design of some of the oil filters.

Anyone else notice this? I wonder if it's for the better.... :?

Yeah really the middle is bulged out. Wonder how its supposed to seal? Thats the same filter I use too! (well the supertech one)

 

It's actually dimpled in at the bottom. Sorry, the picture it kind crappy. :oops: One day I'll buy a better cam... :) I don't use it all that much, so I don't really have the ambition to buy a decent one, which is anything above $100.

I also noticed it doesn't say "Duraguard" anymore. But, the part numbers are still the same from the old one. Which is: 25171377.

bah...i have used fram filters in my car and my truck for years. The super duty ones they had were great. I even used that exact model (3387A) with nothing but a positive experience. I have infact had a negative experience with 2 faulty AC Delco filters, which were both defective. Amzoil makes the best of everything as far as I am concerned. If you want the best oil and the best filters, buy Amzoil!

 

That's why I use Amzoil 0w-30 Series 2000 Synthetic Racing Oil, and the matching super duty filter. Extra efficiency baby! 8)

Hmmm... Interesting reading. Looks like that filter I got wasn't counterfeit, so that's good. I learned something new on Purolator, heh, thought that was junk for a while, but it looks like their PureOne design is pretty good.
