Soo my filters got lost in translation somewhere... WOO HOO. I can't even explain my frustrations at this moment..

If anyone can spare a few, please let me know. We've exhausted all our local options, and am striking out in the a/m world as well.

Ordered 36 on Friday the 13th...they show shipping from 075 today. Great...I'll not see them for another two weeks, if at all.

Just received this from my DMA...

Parts team,

PF66 have been in tight supply, if you are running into stocking issues and need stock to get by, please see the listed options below.

Due to exponential increases in demand in the past 6 months, the PF66 oil filter (GM# 55495105) is currently backordered.
This has been escalated through CCA management for immediate resolution, and the purchasing and supply chain teams are pursuing all opportunities to mitigate and drive immediate solutions.
Workstreams are underway to identify overall impact to network and identify resolution plans.
We are also pursuing an alternative path in making this filter available, which will be communicated soon.
In the immediate interim, Engineering has recommended the ACDelco UPF66R as the preferred approved filter. This filter is also experiencing supply constraints due to demand.
While not equivalent with the OE filter, considering the potential impact on GM vehicle owner satisfaction, we are allowing the usage of the following aftermarket filters for a limited time. We will also continue to warranty the engines (subject to remaining warranty) that receive one of the following aftermarket filters:
• Mighty - M9510
• Valvoline - VO202
• Parts Master - WL610351
• Luber-finer - PH10066
• Champ - PH10066
• Wix – WL10351 (new addition)
• NapaGold – 100351 (new addition)
• PurolatorTech – TL10241 (new addition)
• Purolator – L11424 (new addition)
Additional details will be communicated as soon as they are available.
As always, thank you for your continued effort to put the customer at the center of everything you do.

Thank you,

Just glad it worked out for someone. Kudos to you for being willing to help other dealers out.

Thankfully we have a pretty good working relationship with the other GM dealers around here.

"Supply constraints" = no stock on this one either.

Very helpful, GM. Thanks. :roll:
