THE PURPOSE OF THIS BULLETIN IS TO NOTIFY RETAIL/WHOLESALE SERVICE PERSONNEL OF A RUNNING CHANGE TO THE AC ROCHESTER ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ENGINE OIL FILTERS.

DUE TO AN AGREEMENT TO DECREASE THE NUMBER GMSPO PART NUMBERS, AC ROCHESTER WILL PHASE IN A DECISION TO MAKE ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ENGINE OIL FILTERS BLUE; SAME COLOR USED ON AC AFTERMARKET ENGINE OIL FILTERS. THIS MEANS THAT EVENTUALLY THE USE OF BLACK ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ENGINE OIL FILTERS WILL BE DISCONTINUED.

FOR THE PURPOSE OF WARRANTY/POLICY ADMINISTRATION, THE FOLLOWING WILL ASSIST RETAIL/WHOLESALE SERVICE PERSONNEL IN IDENTIFYING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLUE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND AFTERMARKET ENGINE OIL FILTERS:

0 AFTERMARKET FILTER: WILL CONTINUE TO USE "AC DURAGUARD OIL FILTER" LABEL

0 OE FILTER: WILL HAVE A BLACK BAR CODE, JULIAN DATE CODE AND THE LETTERS "OE" PRINTED ON THE DOME OF THE FILTER

AT THIS TIME, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT ALL OE ENGINE OIL FILTERS WILL BE CHANGED BY MAY 1994.
