This was mysterious to me, because GM traditionally used the largest filter possible for the application without scraping the ground in the previous generation.
Cars got PH30, trucks got PH5, and the medium duty trucks got something that looked like a Thermos.
I imagine GM engineers did some sort of "perfect conditions" calculation that figured a puny filter would do just fine, but the real world stepped in and screwed that up.
Cost savings is one of many reasons why GM vehicles look so cheap for the past 14-15 years. Smaller filters, no padding on inside door elbow rests.....etc..... c'mon GM.
This is what you wrote … now all this listen to your stuff run … ? Cheap blah blah
