What is the difference between a pf63. pf63e and a pf63f. i read somewhere that the e & f are just cheaper versions of the 63?

The older PF63 has a by-pass pressure of 12 PSI. The newer ecore PF63E has a bypass pressure of 22 PSI. If your application calls for the 63E and runs at a higher oil pressure, it's possible the classic 63 might run with the bypass open, allowing unfiltered oil through.

What vehicle does pf63e fit

3.6 VVT GM engines. GM engineering recommends this re designed PF63”e” filter for their 3.6 because it has a higher flow rate and higher pressure by pass valve. Aftermarket filters don’t have the same spec. Sad because you’re limited to the AC Delco filter for this engine. I’m a Wix or Hastings guy. Those are excellent filters for just about everything else on wheels. The 3.6 VVT is an excellent engine, but it is oil flow and lubrication sensitive. Cam chains can be prone to failure due to lubrication issues. So Do not wait for the oil reminder light to come on. It’s wait between oil changes intervals is to long. The OLM minder light intervals are nothing but a dangerous sludge maker. The GM 3.6 is a 3k (5k with synthetic oil) changer! It is very important to use a Dexos certified oil and a PF63 “e”. There is also a PF 63, do not use. The PF 63 e is a redesign to remedy flow problems. Both filters will fit, but the “e” is totally different inside. It has a streamlined plastic cage to retain the filter media and a redesigned bypass valve. The other is and older style metal retainer and thick paper media with less flow

Is the diameter of this filter ?

The oil filter has a 75mm diameter. I use a 74/76mm diameter oil filter wrench to loosen and tighten the filter.

Top-Tier Protection—Straight from GM’s Playbook!

If you’re running a Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, or Cadillac, especially a heavy-duty model like a Silverado or Sierra with the 6.6L engine, this ACDelco PF63 (12735811) is a no-brainer. It’s the genuine OE filter—designed, tested, and validated by GM—so you know it’s optimized for your engine from the start. What sets it apart? It features Duraguard filter media—an efficient, high-capacity barrier that catches harmful particles without choking oil flow. The nylon poppet-style bypass valve works with a higher bypass setting tailored to modern GM engines, ensuring you get filtered oil right when you need it—even under high flow. In terms of fit and finish, this filter is built to OEM precision. It screws in cleanly (thread size M22×1.5), fits the correct housing dimensions, and doesn’t let any nasties bypass the media. Recent construction tweaks—like larger inlet holes and removal of the extra outer baseplate—are smart updates aimed at improving oil flow and ease of installation, while the internal filter setup remains reliable. Lots of users report no issues and smooth performance:“This OEM filter is great—no complaints here. Definitely recommend to anyone doing their own maintenance.” And with a ~4.7/5 average from 112 reviews and nearly all users recommending it on AutoZone, this filter earns its stripes. The Short Version:• OEM-grade—built to GM specs• High-capacity, efficient media—blocks contaminants without restriction• Proper bypass valve—maintains flow under all conditions• Updated design improvements—better flow and installability• Trusted by users—excellent performance reviews
