ACDelco GM Original Equipment PF48 Oil Filter

Product Information

A PF48E Oil Filter is manufactured to conform to all industry standards. It prevents harmful contaminants from harming an engine, thus increasing its lifespan. Because of its smaller size, the PF48 oil filter is relatively lighter in weight than the PF63. It weighs between 7.8 ounces and 12.8 ounces. The PF63 is slightly heavy, weighing between 9.9 ounces and 23.2 ounces. Any Similarities Between PF48 and PF63?

Fabrication and design of an oil filter are quite important, for they determine its lifespan and performance. Different vehicles require oil filters with different designs. Therefore, when buying the filter, consider the design of your current one and ensure the new one fits the vehicle perfectly. 5. Construction Materials The PF48E filter is compatible with GM vehicles and many other vehicles currently on the market today. Its special element design creates a smaller canister with a larger filtering area.

The PF48 and PF63 are oil filters used in internal combustion engines. These filters are built to remove any impurities and contaminants from the engine oil. This is because, over time, the dirt in the oil can cause damage to the engine and its components. Despite their size differences, both oil filters are engineered to capture impurities as small as 20 to 30 microns. Simply put, their media can trap about 1/3 the width of human hair, ensuring a longer engine lifespan. PF48 and PF48E are both part of general motors. However, GM is continually updating its technology, materials and processes for both production and service parts.

The dirt-holding capacity of a filter indicates how much dirt it can hold before clogging. This measures the lifespan of the filter. Most filters in the market require to be changed after 5-10 thousand kilometers, while others are designed for a longer life span.ACDelco Professional’s “E” oil filter is a high-quality, premium aftermarket oil filter. With this PF48E engine oil filter, engine oil can perform better, and it’s lighter and easier to recycle as compared to traditional filters. Keep your engine clean with ACDelco PF48 oil filters. Filters of this type trap particle as small as 25-microns. However, they measure about one-third of the width of human hair, so they can improve your engine’s efficiency, performance, and lifespan. No, as long as it fits properly. After all, the two filters have the same thread pattern and base design. However, it would be best to consult your vehicle’s manufacturer before using a filter different from the recommended one in the owner’s manual. Conclusion

An “E” indicates an “environmentally friendly” product. There is only one difference that exists between the professional series and the E series. The PF48E should filter sufficiently in a relatively short “3K to 5K OCI,” but it is better to run the “Non-Ecore” PF48 filters for longer. Most PF48 oil filters boast a flow rate of 10 to 12 gallons per minute. As for the PF63 oil filters, you can expect a flow rate of 13.2 to 15 gallons per minute.

These two oil filters are designed to efficiently remove contaminants from the engine oil under maximum pressure. The PF48 boasts an internal bypass valve pressure of 15 PSI. On the other hand, the older PF63 oil filter features a bypass pressure of up to 20 PSI. The reason you can use the PF63 in place of the PF48 is that both filters have the same thread size. Therefore, you can be sure they will fit securely, and you don’t have to worry about leaks.
