And here is the information listed, but there is a better exploded picture of the new "E" filter over there too...........
ACDelco has announced a redesigned Original Equipment (OE) oil filter that offers ACDelco's exclusive Duraguard® media in a smaller package.
The new OE filter applications PF46E, PF47E, PF52E and PF61E will be installed in applicable new GM models.
The new oil filter features:
• Increased efficiency and higher burst and collapse strength (Fig. 5, A)
• A new Nylon core that provides better flow characteristics and improved collapse strength
(Fig. 5, B)
• A full cover baseplate that allows easy installation in blind applications (Fig. 5, C)
• Duraguard media, ACDelco's trademarked synthetic cellulose-blended media that
efficiently filters particles as small as 10 microns -- 1/3 the width of a human hair -- to
ensure a clean supply of oil to engine components (Fig. 5, D)
• A combination relief and anti-drainback valve that prevents dry starts and assures oil flow
(where applicable) (Fig. 5, E)
In addition to the new OE design oil filter applications, the original filters (PF46, PF47, PF52 and PF61) continue to be available in a classic design.

Yeah it will work- its what the dealership shows in their system now as the standard filter most prefer the upf44 but the dealers no longer stock them. gene culley has them but you have to buy them in a 6 pack.

The upf-44s are a synthetic filter- the "u" stands for ultra. I think it can filter down to like 5 microns or something like that but dont quote me. As far as why people use them- personal preference i guess. Ive run the pf-44, upf-44, and the pf-46e and i havent noticed any differences in oil pressure- ive never had my oil analyzed but I would imagine all is well.
