Old post, but wanted to throw this in. Don't buy the K&N filters wrench off type. I always have been a fan of k&n, then last year bought a k&n for wifes car, week later I seen oil dripping, looked under car and when filter was manufactured, they drilled small hole behind that welded on nut to use a wrench on filter. I checked her oil and was down to like 2 quarts left in car, could have blown her Turbo engine. I contacted k&n, showed pics, then they wanted me to mail back etc etc. I just took the loss, filter had oil in it, so was a mess, but could see spot where oil was dripping from tiny hole under the nut.

We will only use K&N oil filters in our 2012 Camaro for oil changes.

The paper end caps and other cheapened parts, mentioned in this thread for Delco filters, is in the “E-core” line, designated as PF-48E, PF-63E, etc.. I’ve seen pix of the Delco filter paper media loosing integrity with intervals we are using with the OLM. I moved back to M1 or Wix XP filters. The extended intervals brought by better synthetics pushes filter longevity limits. The Wix xp has all the good features, metal internal caps & tubes, good media, metal screen backing for the filter media, good guy valves, etc.. I just ordered 10 xp filters for the Camaro and truck from Rock Auto. I think they were just over $7 ea.

if you are not having problems, I would just switch to an appoved Dexos oil. I personally only use Napa Platinum as they are true absolute filters. Many filters are nominal, so a 23 micrcon nominal has an average micron opening of 23 micron or less, and 23 micron synthetic (absolute) has no openings larger than 23 micron.

And I bought an extended warranty so I guess I need to check with them. I just changed it didn't think about it until I started checking the forum here.
