I plan on running the Delco golds (I bought a dozen a year ago) once it is 100% broken in, but I do not think the new PF64 is as much of a step down as something like the Fram.

Thanks for that info. What metal is thinner? The casing itself or something else. From the pictures, it just looked slightly shorter and had the plastic inner cage. I wonder if the filtering media surface area has reduced since the overall filter height is slightly shorter compared to the old PF64?
