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.
So thank you guys for watching. Remember tag
down here in the video somewhere. I don't
know where Jim's going to put it, but that
gets you to the shopping cart. Takes you to

filter for your truck. Trust me, you're going
