ACDelco pf48e

[Villalobos]

I have that oil filter laying around left from my Suburban. I have searched here and google to see if it fits my truck and haven’t found any info pro or con. Was wondering if anyone knows if the ACDelco pf48e is compatible. I have a ‘14 1500, 5.7l. Thanks!

Oreally's and Autozone both list AcDelco PF48e as a filter you can run you year truck.

You can but I personality wouldn't. The AC delco E filter line is not the best. I'd use a good quality filter such as wix XP, Fram Ultra, royal purple, exc.

A filter with good construction and a silicon anti-drain back valve. Cheap insurance to spend a little more on a good quality filter to me, but YMMV. Good luck

Thanks! I just have it laying around and some surplus 5w20 got on sale. I’ll run it for 3k and get a proper filter. I ran ACDelco on my 2000 Suburban for 250k, diy every 3k for 20 years, just sold her a couple months ago, they drove it home

sub par is ok for a single interval in my book but the difference in price between economic and performance filters is minimal compared to what you could potentially face down the road. Just my opinion

I’ll take a quarter million miles from a sub par oil filter all day.

Ran ACDelco PF48e in my cammed 09 Pontiac G8GT for 150k miles before i sold the car. 7000rpm redline btw an 11 sec daily driver, with oil changes every 10k miles. Chalked 140k miles in my 10 Silverado 1500 crew cab i sold last year also running 10K oil changes and PF48e. Never had any issues. Never had any issues with ANY factory oil filter EVER. My RAM runs MO339, currently 93k miles and oil changes every 10k miles. Gotta love internet forums and the cult of people adoring rare/snake oils and filters. Lol

You got to admit though that the non AFM LS engines are considerably more robust than anything Dodge or Ford makes durability wise.No Eagle Hemi will outlast an LS engine when both are run on cheap oil and filters especially with extended drain intervals. Hell my old 2001 Silverado has 225K plus miles on it(and still going strong) and for damn near 90K miles of its life my sister owned it and I guarantee you the oil was changed in it maybe 4-5 times in those miles and it was from cheap oil change places. Sounds like you made it out pretty well with the 2010 Silverado since 2007-2013 5.3's in those years were notorious for cam/lifter problems.

I'm not a GM fanboy by any means, more so for me its the RAM's superior ride and interiors, not to mention the ZF 8 spd that run circles around Ford and GM so I'm willing do what I think is necessary to keep the Hemi going even though it can be a PITA sometimes.

Lol, yes, but as tide fan so correctly stated, the hemi is no gm small block.

They are much more sensitive to oil and oil filters. You asked for my opinion and I gave it to you. What you choose to do with the information is up to you.

Maybe ram 1500 will get lucky running his choice of oil and filters? Whose to say?

Me, I purchased a $45k plus truck so I'll spend a little more when I . service it, for peace of mind I'm taking the best care of it I possibly can.

But again as I said before, these are my thoughts only. God gave us the choice of free will. Do what you feel is best.

I can't say it any better than tide did. You think high end filters like Fram ultra, royal purple and WixXP, and good oils like am amsoil and redline are snake oil stuff?

Go read the synthetic oil thread and some of the hemi tick threads on this forum and then post back.

The hemi is much more sensitive to oil and filter choice than your small block chevys.... (and in over 30 yrs of spinning wrenches I've rebuilt many of them.

One can fall down the rabbit hole of oil and oil filters. There are many opinions and facts as well. Used oil analysis and cut open filters. Then there’s the manufacturer recommendations. I’m not a mechanic, engineer or scientist. For me, to keep it simple, I just use oem filters and the right type of oil. In my op, I was only asking for fit, not opinions on the filter. It was not my intent to start a vortec/hemi debate. I bought a ram and when I use the single, only 1, delco filter I will get mopar. As far as cheap oil, I have about 50 quarts of Mobil 1 full synthetic. I stick with OEM and Mobil, then I don’t have to think about it. “My” small block Chevy has been sold.

Also, thanks, @ram1500rsm for answering my original question!

My Pontiac had an L76 with AFM, disabled via tuning until i got all that crap removed after the cam install, The Silverado was equipped with AFM but had it disabled via tuning just like I did with the Hemi in the RAM. Haven't have any issues with this engine knocking on wood didn't have any issues with the Hemi 6.4L with my Challenger Scat pack. No 4 cyl deactivation crap on that one but Mopar filter too.

I've seen the pictures in the oil filters thread. Not surprised there is one.... I've been in forums where Castrol 0w40 has its own forum section. Never ever used Amsoil or Redline either for example and here I'm 48 years later with perhaps having owned 20 vehicles and racked over 2 million miles combined still reading how Amsoil or Redline are awesome oils and I don't doubt it... I've posted in the main oil thread as well.

Nothing i read is changing what my truck gets for fluids or filters unless you want to finance it for free? Im cured from motor oil threads and oil filters threads. I only buy factory oil filters I'm sure the high end are better just cause the forum says so. My truck doesn't care so what can I say?

Good luck. I hope it stays that way for you.

It will be just fine

Guess I should have opened my eyes before opening my mouth, lol. Did first oil change on my truck, dealer I bought from changed when I bought her. Not that dealerships are all knowing, but for the fit I should have looked to see what they used.
