The 6.2 has a upf filter equivalent. I just used tne Amazon link to show the picture.@DuraYuk
I believe you would argue with a brick wall.
A few things here, you clearly do not have a 6.2l and I am not sure you really fully understand the L87 or the difference between the L84 5.3l and what is going on here.
You also clearly missed the issue on the oil filters.
You keep referencing the oil filter for you DuraYuk, which is different than the 6.2l.
But just to put it out here 1 more time, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.
Notice how all the standard AC Delco OE filters have base plates with larger and more oil inlet holes. I do not care to research the 3.0l Diesel oil pump and filter, not my problem, do not own one and will not own one, but the way GM implemented the variable displacement oil pump on the 6.2l with its internal pressure control spring is not very well thought out IMHO based on how the 6.2l engine is loaded when driving.
You clearly have not done the logging and data gathering I have done on a 6.2l much less you probably have not even driven a L87 vehicle on a longer trip to see the the Transmission Control Module loads the engine up. And just think about what happens when you fill up one of these Suburban/Yukon XL/Escalde ESV, with 4+ people and gear then add the wind resistance and additional weight of a trailer. Your going to tell me with a straight face 0W20 is more than adequate and will allow these engines to last 300,000 miles??? Also understand that if any of these 0W20 engines end up with 150,000 miles or more, a smart person would switch to 5W30 or 0W40 to offset engine wear as well.
Just because "everyone" is running 0W20 or even lower viscosity oil (0W16 or 0W8) is it a wise idea? I plan on keeping my engine running for at least 200,000 miles, if not more. I would expect more out of it if was not for the DFM trash. You claim is it just technology, it is junk, too many moving and operating parts that are not necessary. The ONLY reason for all the stupid cylinder deactivation is for EPA/CAFE requirements. Over complicate something that is reliable and it becomes unreliable and expense to maintain and repair. I did not buy this vehicle for fuel economy, I bought to haul people and gear and I do not need a bunch of crappy DFM parts failing in under 100-150k miles that cost me a bunch of time and money.
The problem is these days all are options are limited and we all try to take the best of the worst.

Bro your making up your own mind about stuff. Its honestly pretty entertaining to see.
First it was high rpm, then torque, then this than that. I just proved how what you are using for justification doesnt exist outside of your own believe system..
