Hi. I'm Wade from thoroughbred diesel and today we're going to be showing you PPEs new
oil filter for the Duramax engines. PPE has come out with a better oil filter for you
Duramax guys. This oil filter from PPE, this fits the 2001 to 2019 trucks. We have an oil
filter changes in 2020 model year, but this does go from 2001 to 2019. I caught a glimpse
of this filter at PRI and let me show you a completed filter. This is a cutaway that
we're going to be talking about today, but this is the package filter that you're going
to have. I saw this at PRI. I was really, really excited about this. I had a conversation
with Joe about it and our buddies at PPE sent us some of these to talk about with you all
today. Big shout out to them for that.
So let's talk about this. They sent us some cutaway, so I'm going to be able to show you
all the internal workings of this filter and then compare it to your AC Delco filter that
some of you might be running right now. All right. The key thing about this to me is the
increased filtration that you're going to be getting with this oil filter. This is going
to get you down to five micron filtration, your stock one, your stock AC Delco filter
in about eight to 10 microns filtration. That's almost, or in some cases it's double the filtration
that you're going to be getting with this filter. We know that clean oil is the lifeblood
of an engine. It's a lifeblood of your turbo. Clean oil is everything. Dirty oil, you're
going to take out bearings, you're going to take out turbos, you're going to take a motor
out.
So the filtration really, really key for me. The filter media inside of the PPE oil filter
is 152% larger than your stock size filter, from the good old AC Delco PF2232 that we
all know and love. 152% more filter media. This is a pleated filter. This is 900 square
inches of filter media whereas this one is about 357 square inches of filter media. This
is also bonded as well. They have a bond on the outside of the filter. You can see that
going around. That is going to give you better structural integrity to the filter and keep
it bonded to the core of the filter. Now the core of the filter is a perforated steel insert
that gives the filter itself overall, just keeps the filter more rigid overall. You don't
have to worry about any deflection or the filter collapsing or anything and that and
allowing oil by. This is going to be a good sturdy filter, very rigid, so just a very
good quality filter elements.
Now let's talk about flow on this. 120% better flow from this filter here. The oil passages
on the PPE setup are 120% larger than the stock ones are. These stock passages for your
oil inlet flow on the filter, much, much smaller than what you have with the PPE set up. Now
let's talk about the drain back valve. The drain back valve on the PPE unit is silicone,
so this is a really, really good change over because with the silicone you're not going
to have it deteriorating or coming apart and having to go through your oil system. The
stock oil filter has got the drain back valve as well, but this silicone unit, much, much
nicer than a rubber piece is. We've seen those come apart and go through the oil system and
that can be a bad day for you right there.
Now the bypass valve, you have one obviously in your stock filter from AC Delco or several
of the other companies. We have the bypass valve in here as well. With the bypass valve,
what that does is if the filter gets plugged up, you're still going to get oil supply to
your engine. Now with this filter that we've got here from AC Delco, showed you that valve,
but our PPE, this is integrated into the filter here, so this is the bypass valve, it's integrated
into the filter, so you still have that feature from the stock one. The canister has got a
integrated magnet into it, so it's going to help you to further filter out any particles
that you have that come from the motor. Integrated magnet inside of the canister, which is a
really, really nice feature that's going to pick up more metal particles and everything.
Doing some oil filter videos here today guys, if you don't care, in the comments below,
let us know what all filter you're running on your truck. So it's awesome. I mean I'm
totally going to be changed over to this, changing over to this filter in my truck as
well. This is going to get you higher capacity too, that you're going to add another core
of capacity to your overall oil capacity. So we all know Duramax guys, is a 10 quart
oil change for us. You buy three gallons, you've got two quarts left over. It's kind
of a pain in the butt. This gets us closer to that magic 12 number which is a smooth
three gallons. This gets us to 11 quart. If you add the PPE upgraded, oil pan free Duramax
motor, that'll gain you another quart so you've got a full 12 quarts. That's what I'm going
for. It just makes it easier but...
So you've got higher capacity, you've got better filtration and you've got a more efficient
oil filter here. This is going to be the only choice for you right here. PPE brand new oil
filter. Very, very nice. Big shout out to the PPE guys for sending us one to show you
today. They really put a lot of thought into the details of this. Another thing, they put
a cap on the filters as they come in the package. You don't get that with your stock filter.
You've got an old filter. It's on the box. This is capped over from PPE. Keeps a little
contaminant, cardboard crap or something gets in there, you don't have to worry about that
going through your oil system.
