Information
Starting October 1, 2020 replacement spin-on oil filters PF63, PF48 and PF64 will come
with a new improved gasket design to help retain it to the oil filter body and eliminate the
possibility of the gasket from falling off during installation. The gasket width was
increased to help retain the gasket to the filter body.
Existing dealer inventory or filters received from CCA are ok to use for service. When
replacing an oil filter, always ensure that the gasket is seated properly in the filter body.
These filters meet all GM OE specifications and are approved for service usage.
Today's engines have very tight tolerances, multiple oil pressure control systems and
high flow lubrication system requirements. These requirements will vary based on the
specific engine design, so the proper match of oil filter to the engine application is very
important.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
