I would use the a/c delco just in case there is a warranty issue...Less finger pointing.

You're a nuts if you put an ACDelco e-core on there.
That information doesn't sound right according to what I know. Last I checked the UPF filters were microglass and the Mobil 1 was a proprietary blended media.

I doubt those chintzy A/C Delco filters will hold up to that kind of abuse. Royal Purple makes a stout racing filter, I'd look into something like that myself.
I am pretty sure Fram is making the Valvoline filters now. I can ask my Valvoline quick change customers Tuesday if need be but I am pretty sure Fram makes them.
