HI there,

What Caribou said is true for bumper to bumper warranty.

However, your powertrain warranty, meaning your engine, transmission, driveline is good for 5 years/100,000 miles for leaks.

Allthebest, c4c5

If it's one of the new environmental filters (ends in e) you can check my thread about oil filter leaks.

I am Not a fan of the new e filters.

I just checked three GM filters on my shelf after reading your post. I have a UPF44, PF46, and a PF46e. The UPF44 is noticeably heavier and sturdier feeling than the other two, the PF46 is a lot less so, and the PF46e is smaller physically and quite a bit lighter and "tinnyier" (sp?) feeling. I just bought some new oil filters for both my Subaru's and the same thing- the new style OEM filters just plain look and feel like junk. Hopefully they work ok, but visually it is kind of hard to believe.

The new e filters remind me of the new e water bottles that are made of ultra thin plastic. Better for the land fills but when you hold the bottle tight to screw the cap off, then twist, you get a shower when it cracks open.



Don't get me started on low flow toilets.

Lets not think that for one minute GM is going to engineer an oil filter that will leak.
