My local Walmart is carrying the AC Delco E-cores on rollback for $2.97 per filter - thinking about picking some up. They carry both models for my Yukon and Chevy pickup. I know that the Delco's use a separate bypass, ADBV design and has the updated inner nylon core. Think these are safe for a 5-6k mile OCI? Running out the OLM on the Yukon (5-7k mi. usually) and 5k mi. OCIs on the Chevy K1500. Typically equates to a Spring / Fall change for both vehicles, but I'd like to run the pickup to a year, as I barely put 5k a year on it lately. My standby is usually a M1 or a Wix - can usually pick up the Wix locally for about $7 per filter. Usually run an Amsoil OE or Mobil1, Valvoline Synpower synthetic.
Anyone run the newer E-Cores with confidence on a standard OCI? I've read about the horror stories but the failure rates still seem low compared to how many are being used on the road.
