Amazon has them cheap quite often and you still get the GM rebates on them. They changed them a while back. They don't seem as well made anymore. [03:08] IsambardPrince They got rid of the glue strips that used to be bracing the pleats. [03:09] IsambardPrince GM also changed their oil filters. The PF47E, which I'm using right now (rebates) has been through at least 5 revisions in the last 40-some years. [03:10] IsambardPrince The older ones had a lot more metal in the shell, more paper pleats, and longer length of pleats, and metal inner core with holes for the oil to flow through, and the newer ones have plastic core and less filter media. [03:10] IsambardPrince They claim that they improved the media so you don't need as much and that the plastic is perfectly fine. [03:11] IsambardPrince I'm sure that someone sat down and figured out how to cheapen the filter and retain "acceptable" performance. I'm pretty sure it's not improved.

[06:45] IsambardPrince I've been going through all those jugs of Shell synthetic motor oils they keep giving me for free for some reason. [06:45] IsambardPrince Motor oil is a weird market. [06:45] IsambardPrince Seems every month they're either promoting a new product or clearancing one that failed. [06:45] IsambardPrince And you snap up some more jugs. [06:45] IsambardPrince For a while I had the Buick using Rotella T Gas Truck. [06:46] IsambardPrince It was literally just a synthetic motor oil, 5w30, standard additive pack, nothing special about the process. [06:46] IsambardPrince They were trying to charge more by putting "truck" on the bottle. [06:46] IsambardPrince Marketing. [06:46] IsambardPrince It had a dexos certification from GM, so they paid for that. [06:47] IsambardPrince It costs a lot to promote a new product and then kill it, and it's basically the same thing as any jug of Pennzoil Platinum. [06:47] IsambardPrince But they added $10 cause the bottle says truck on it. [06:48] IsambardPrince Then they end up giving it to me for $12.99 when it doesn't sell at $36.99. [06:48] IsambardPrince Shell needs to fire some people, the people that keep marketing new tiers of motor oil. [06:49] IsambardPrince It's a very segmented market for something that's basically very similar, one to the next. [06:50] IsambardPrince You won't tell any significant difference in engine wear between any oil GM certifies as dexos. There's so little difference it would be almost immeasurable even over 100,000 miles of the same usage in the same engine types. [06:51] IsambardPrince The truth is that it's a cash grab.

[06:52] IsambardPrince It had sludge, it ran out of oil and destroyed itself. [06:52] IsambardPrince But that's what you get when you go years and don't change it or even top it off. [06:53] IsambardPrince This market is crazy. [06:53] IsambardPrince It's why Walmart's so overbuilt and you can't get out of there. There is literally an entire wall of motor oils. [06:53] IsambardPrince Half an aisle of toilet paper. [06:54] IsambardPrince It slows down the shelf stocking. Imagine if they had one kind of toilet paper. [06:54] IsambardPrince The shelf could be stocked fast. [06:54] IsambardPrince But someone has to stand there and go "Is this Charmin Ultra Soft, or Ultra Strong? Is this Charmin Essentials?
