Dissected: Updated AC Delco PF64 Oil Filter

For the Gen6 Camaros with the LT1/LT4. Some of this has been previously covered:

I cut apart the newer version of the AC Delco PF64 Oil Filter, GM part # 12696048. There is an older version of the PF64, part # 12640445, but it is going to be harder to find. Some people thought the older version was a better filter.


Overall the newer PF64 looks OK, it does not have the paper/fiber end caps of some of the GM/AC Delco "E" core filters. It also has a bypass valve with a coil spring. The bypass valve set point is 22psi. GM states the proper filter with the correct bypass is critical for the Gen 6 Camaro V8s.

But....
It is a touch shorter.
It has a plastic inner retainer.

Realistically, I see no problem running this filter. Some may want to run this to satisfy the warranty. Are there better filters? Certainly.
