Again another very detailed video.

Well crap! I was going to install the PPE oil filter that came last month but now that I hear about the issues, maybe not. I have AC Delco and Baldwins sitting on the shelf and will just use them. My oil pressure on my 2017 fluctuates with throttle up to 100 psi until the oil comes up to temp. I read on the Duramax forum that it is very common with the Dmax. I like the tin foil and will implement that for the next oil change. Another great video Scott.

EXCELLENT product! Installed their filter on my 2015, 3500 miles ago and the oil is incredibly clean compared to OEW.

Nice set-up, the motor is probably cleaner on the inside then the outside. I like the foil trick, I am sure to use that one next time.

Great video as usual Scott!!!! sub#20

Instead of foil I use a cardboard, fold it and slide it in. It bugged the shit out of me after my first oil change how it splashed everywhere. Great video!!!

I like the tin foil trick you did there.👍👍👍

Scott, thanks for the video. With the better filtration, do you go more mileage than with the OEM type filter? I am definitely using the foil trick you showed us.

Hi do you have the link for that HUSKI oil filter wrench. Thanks

for future reference, filling the center of the filter is unfiltered oil. Normal flow is thru the outside then back to the engine thru the center. I've done the same for many years with no known ill effects but now I know better.... just saying

That's a pretty good trick with the tinfoil👍

Scott, do you use any additives? Opti-lube or Hotshots EDT in your L5P

Been running that filter on my 2019 for a year now. Also running the Rotella T6 but switching to Deere Plus 50II. Specs on it are a little better than the Rotella.

Been thinking of switching over to rotella T6 from T4. How any miles/hours do you get out of full synthetic?

So I don’t have to change out the housing like you did? I have a 2022 2500 coming this week and want to do ppe as soon as I get it

Another think brother ,pleas tell me where did you get the DRAIN PLUG with the Part Number . Thanks

I have always used paper towels or shop rags as well never occurred to me to use foil! Nice job I’m using foil next time. I’ve been running Amsoil and an Amsoil filter on my 2019 Duramax. Oil pressure is always normal to OEM. Nice video. Hate to bug you but did you ever receive your Diesel LED headlights? Curious to see you put them in before I do. Haha

Where'd you get the oil funnel? I've tried a couple and don't like either one.

So I was about to order one and found a few reviews saying that since it’s so long and heavier that it leaks at the gasket due to the weight making it sag I guess...people saying it might be good for highway driving, but people who take their truck Offroad tend to have issues with these leaking really bad ????

Any issues with the ppe oil filter so far? What are your thoughts ??

Scott, will you be changing the filter out at every oil change or going extended?

Scott, Its been over a month since this video and thought I d ask if you have run into any issue with the PPE filter? I guess the high start up oil pressure may or could have been an issue?

Did the cat filter leak? Mine has a small leak when trucks warm.

I would like to know what you think about royal purple Thanks

Where is the ppe filter made? It’s like they went out of there why not to say country of origin anywhere on the box or filter

Iv got the same truck. Dealer calls for 15w40 but would 5w 40 hurt it? Do you know?

Where did you get your drain from? I'm having a hard time finding one for a l5p

What air filter are you using?

I purchased both PPE filters for my 17. I was able to install the tranny filter, however the oil filter was a no go. Needless to say, I threw the oil filter in the garbage. For whatever reason, it wouldn't thread on. I went back to AC Delco. Very disappointed.

look up form-a-funnel for foil alternative

Good luck with the PPE, hope it works better for you. I installed one last fall, my oil pressure was very high and then at about 100 miles on it, the rubber seal blew and dropped all 11 quarts on the road. I switched back to the AC Delco filter. Not sure if it was a defective filter or what caused the problem. Let me know how it works for you. If all is good, I may try it again, just a little gun shy🤣👊🏻🇺🇸

You prefer rotella over Amco?

Great videos. I am going to do some of these upgrades. I have a 2017. Can this truck...in theory... Be deleted? Just asking for a friend.

Do you think AMS OIL is the best for DIESEL

ok so this filter being a 5M its almost like the oilfilter bypass systems where they add a low flow high density filter to decrease the micron size while holding the factory highflow filters as the primary but without a relocation system and two filters. My thinking is this filter has 3x the media to reduce the pressure created while maintaining the flow rates and increased filtration. .. hmmmm,, MINT!!!! also steeling the foil idea,.. thanks man....

How many mile to you go before changing it again?

good video man. I have just gotten 115k on my truck and dam if it did not throw an engine code P20EE. Says something on the catalytic converter, Bank one? Is that the nox? do you know. I do not want to take this sucker to the dealer for diagnosis. Just did my car and it cost me 700.00 just for the diagnosis.

Is this filter better than the cat

try amsoil next time!!

6 American flags.........Chinese made oil filters from PPE. At least the CAT ones are USA made by American workers.

40 bucks for 1 PPE filter , come on I pay 75 at CAT 3 fuel filters and 1 oil filter. Please read the duramax forum. anti drain back valve is useless when the filter is facing up. So dry starts is not a thing. Oil would have to flow up hill against gravity. Please read the duramax forum on the subject because your new choice gets dumped on. If the filter drained out why use the foil.... cut open the PPE it looks almost just like the CAT. Only addition is ADBV.. which is not needed. Look at the filter location the oil will not defy gravity. I had this conversation with other “duramax channels” and no one wants to prove me wrong. I swapped to the CAT because of stupid KZfaq video... but after oil analysts from blackstone no signs of dry starts... I think people are paid to bash shit and not do the research.. no saying you saying in general. Where’s PPE oil bypass valve if the filter gets clogged... Donaldson and CAT are full flow filters no need for those either... Donaldson beats the CAT in filtration again read the forum a lot of good info that is not just some clown running there mouth it has proof.
