AcDelco PF61 Ecore 5k Miles Chevy5.3

[defektes]

This filter was on for 6 months and 5k miles, about 80% city driving, a couple 40 mile trips thrown in, OLM read 39%. Oil used was Chevron Supreme 5w-30, as you can see in the photos the leaf spring and ADBV were on very snug. End caps were on secured, and the seam on the media suffered no damage or holes. All in all good filter.

Looks the same as the ST in your other post and similar if not exactely to the CHAMP that I also mentioned. E-Core design I beleive!

Would you agree that the endcaps are more of a firm felt-like material, not cardboard ?

 

[defektes]

The Ecore caps are better than the fram IMO. They feel sturdy and I had a couple frams that the top endcap sperated in some places.

This looks EXACTLY like the Walmart ST filters, is there any dif??

Good looking filter.A/C now has the PF61E that i had to use on the last oc for our Trailblazer(what Wally W had) i'm afraid it isn't the filter quality of the original PF61 i can't find anything other than PF61 is Duraguard and PF61E is OEM.

.... until they are.

If they come with tight even pleats they are a nice filter. If they don't, you risk tearing a hole. If they came in a clear can I'd buy them.
