How did you come to this conclusion? Using AC Delco filters causes a decrease in engine durability and longevity?
Isn't that why better filters are available?
I quit using AC Delco at least 15 years ago, when GM started cutting costs to battle bankruptcy. The old PF 47s / 51s and 61s used to be better parts. Today's filters are inferior to those.
Heck, I even quit GM vehicles too, after buying them for 3-4 decades straight. The Ecore and Equinox I looked at are only available with TDGIs....... no thanks. Just wait until these newer models begin aging. GM will have to settle complaints as these engines turn to junk quickly.
Ok. 1. GM does not manufacture AC Delco filters and it had been a long time since GM has. 2. GM uses AC Delco filters in conditions neither you nor or I could possibly recreate. It's lack of maintenance and or bad design, assembly, and or manufacturing which causes failure. It's not oil filters of good quality.
