Has anyone heard or noticed this. I went to autozone and they dont have the AC Delco pf25 , went to the dealership and the parts guy said they replaced it with this other filter. Forgot the part number. It was a good bit smaller. So i went with the AC delco 1218. I hope it works right. Anyone use this one?
Peace

I use the pf1218, works great. never liked the pf25, its so small for such a big engine =P I always used the pf35, which was replaced by the pf 1218

 

The PF25 was replaced with the PF454. The PF454 has an anti-drainback valve. The 1218 also has the valve which the 35 lacked.

 

Filter companies do this to start knocking out old filters, some were bigger then needed. Who makes the AC Delco filters?

 

Yeah, they discontiued the PF25 quite some time back. Maybe a year or so. Change your oil often?

 

Found out last week (after going through the same "Where's the PF25?" hunt that AC Delco replaced the PF 25 with the PF454. It is slightly shorter than the 25, but functionally the same.

 

ya i change my oil every year, its synthetic . Actually i havent changed my oil in close to a year. I changed it right before i had to store it up. My reserve unit got activated so i was gone that whole year. WOW the things that change when your gone.lol.

 

A lot of stores here still have left over stock.
