- 3.0 Duramax Diesel Silverado and Sierra 1500 LM2 LZ0 - I cut open and inspect the internals of the STP filter to see how it stacks up against the factory PF66 oil filter.

Yup, I use these STP XL filters as my standard filters now. 5k oil changes, no complaints on my 3 vehicles. Good video
Autozone offers this with oil Bundle and Like it at Good Prize. STP Oil filters, STP gas treatment and STP cabin and engine Air Filter are Great.
I’m currently trying the STP xl. Seems like a well built filter. I’ve been using the PPE filter but $30 a pop wasn’t viable when the STP is built just as well, minus the extra capacity
In my opinion it has the best build quality bang for buck ratio
Used one on my 1994 Ford 4.6L, engine knocked at start-up, like a lash adjuster wasn't getting oil at first. Changed to a Fram and it wuit knocking.
Would love to see this compared side by side to the MicroGard Select. They look very similar in all aspects except for the STP being made in China and the MicroGard made in Vietnam.
Thanks for doing this, looks like an amazing oil filter for my LZ0 - I own a shop, I just pulled a STP S7317XL off the shelf for comparison, and the interior is the plastic variety like the PF66. I'm currently transitioning away from STP oil filters because even same part number oil filters have barely any consistency, bouncing back and forth between metal core and plastic core, different sizes and colors that is noticeable when you handle them every day. clearly different manufacturers over time.
That's concerning to hear. I am blown away by this particular filter, hope it continues to be produced like this.
I believe this particular STP XL filter is a Premium Guard filter (made in Vietnam). From what I have learned, Premium Guard places a leak test stamp on the end of the canister. Nice looking build on this one... I'm going to run one on my LZ0.
I greatly appreciate your videos on the 3.0 Duramax family. I love to learn about my machines and have learned a lot from you. I'm new to this engine ('24 AT4) and loving it so far. Please keep up the good work, sir! It's appreciated!
GRAB A PPE OIL FILTER INSTEAD. AS A MATTER OF FACT ORDER THREE. I THINK THEY HAVE FREE SHIPPING IF YOU GO OVER $100.00
@@PastarocketS-sb7nk question on the ppe oil filter. Because the filter is much bigger, longer. It should hold more oil? Do you have to run more oil on board than the normal 7 quarts to accommodate? sorry if this question is dumb.
Looks awesome 👌
Thank you for all of these informative videos!!
Glad you like them!
Fram and Champ Labs are now owned by First Brands Group. They are not independent companies anymore. I think they are messing around with their product lines and mixing things. I have noticed my FRAM cartridge filters for my Camry are actually CHAMP LAB cartridge filters, with FRAM printing on the plastic end cap. I have also noticed the OE plus filters at Canadian Tire are Champ Lab filters, just like the Castrol Filters. You just don't know what you getting any more.
Thanks for doing this. It's nice to see you confirm what I thought about it.
Yeah, I am very surprised by this filter !!!
I'll have to give this filter a try, I like the STP full synthetic as an affordable alternative when I can't get my hands on AMSOIL Signature or Royal Purple. I personally don't like ACDelco anything when it comes to oil filters, motor oil or spark plugs. I have the 2.7l Turbo-4 in my 2020 Silverado and I've been looking for a more quality replacement to the janky PF66 that comes stock on it. I was also looking at the PPE filter that's meant as an upgrade for the 3.0l Duramax. Yes it's expensive, but I like the idea of the little extra filtering capacity. But since these are a third of the price I might have to get two or three to store for future oil changes. I've been wanting to give a Purolator BOSS filter a try as well but sadly they don't make one for the L3B or 3.0l Duramax yet. I don't know if they will in the future because they have them available for everything else but not those two engines.
My 2023 GMC Sierra with the 2.7 Turbomax is currently running the factory PF66 and I can tell from your video's as well as others it's not that great of a filter. This STP is tops on my list so far for my trucks 2nd oil change!
I like the premium STP filters. I would put them up against WIX and K&N filters.
I have a video where I cut up a lot more filters. I would put the STP well above the wix and K&N for sure !
@@DemonWorks Thanks for doing these tests and videos.
I used an STP XL today. The gasket was not red silicone, it was black and seemed like the typical rubber that most use. Also, the core was plastic, not metal. Seems they are making these cheaper now unless some were always that way.
That's concerning! Sounds like I may need to grab another and take a look.
Looks like a solid choice! Very similar to my favorite MicroGard Select from Oreilly’s. Quality materials and construction. Is it made in Vietnam?
I did a little research champion labs makes stp oil filters and they also make oem gm filters for some applications oem motor craft Mobil 1 Valvoline and autozone filters champion labs makes over 100 private label filters so it sounds like they make quality products
Yes, on there being quality filters but not all are at the same level even if from the same factory. Perfect example is this comparison, if champion made bth of these.
@@DemonWorks correct oem is known for being kindve cheap to save money in the long run and house brands just squeak by oem requirements most of the time not hard to see different quality’s between these two oil filters
Just because an oil filter is made in the USA is not a guarantee, it is a high-quality filter. It's the standards and parts used that make the quality. Companies go to other countries for the cheapest labor.
Definitely no assumption made here on the filters about USA made vs elsewhere.
Would you be kind enough to tell me what oil filter you would use. I have a 2023 Colorado trail boss High output tuned only 5k on it now. Last oil filter I got @ the dealer was the PF66. For some reason I like the Idea of running OEM. Thoughts? Cheers
Absolutely ! I prefer the ppe oil filter for the diesels, it's a longer filter than oem, better filtration and it's a replacement for the pf66. My next favorite is the STP shown here, it shows great quality internals and appears to be a good filter. Nothing wrong with oem, it is good enough to do the job. The key is to do the maintenance often and don't fall behind. Quality oils as well !
@@DemonWorks Thanks a million
Is this on the approved filter list from GM?
The only list that I am aware of was from a bulletin a few years ago that stated the pf66 is on a parts shortage and "XXXXX" filters were approved for use. This one is not on that list.
I have done some research and the pf66 Should Not have a pressure relief valve. The LZ0 has an internal one, and with the variable oil pump the pressure will get to high for an oil filter that has one, meaning that the oil would just keep bypassing the filter media and go through the valve.. Not Good. So look and make sure the filter you use doesn’t have one.
The pf66 is the factory filter which has a bypass in it, there are filters with a bypass and some without. With the internal bypass system, I believe either are ok. I don't think the oil will continue bypassing though, It should still only bypass with the pressure deltas reach the specified number.
I’ve seen the pf66 without a pressure relief valve in it. But I think you’re right that most times the filter will work it’s just under higher pressure that it might bypass. They had issues a few years ago on vettes that needed a stronger spring on the valve.
@@BigRedDmax you are correct, at one point they did not have one in it, they also had a metal core at that time and seemed to be a more durable appearing filter.
Thanks for all the work you do on making these videos, they are greatly appreciated. I’ve learned a lot about these trucks and the engine, and am really happy with my truck because of it.
I have always wondered what PSI the filter is seeing.. When I was doing research on some WIX filters and saw 21 psi bypass valve. I was like, wait wut... Never could find out the actual PSI the filter sees.
No bypass on the Wix. CHEAP vs premium Oil Filters for Duramax 3.0 + TurboMax 2.7
