Below is what I read elsewhere, I believe it originated from yet a third source (Saab TSB maybe?):
"The purpose of this bulletin is to provide information about a new design oil filter cap assembly (P/N 12580254) and oil filter element (P/N 12579143) that has been released for service on 2.2L 4-cylinder engines (RPO L61) and supercharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engines (RPO LSJ).
Important
Always inspect for new design oil filter cap. If a new design oil filter cap (P/N 12580254) is present, the new design oil filter element (P/N 12579143) must be used to service this vehicle.
The new design oil filter cap can be identified by the rounded contour of the outer edges, rather than the flat edges on the previous designs. This new design oil filter cap is intended to backservice all previous model year vehicles. The new design oil filter element must be used to service vehicles with this new design oil filter cap. Refer to the "Parts Compatibility" table included in this bulletin for more information.
Notice
Do NOT use an old design oil filter element (P/N 22685727) in combination with the new design oil filter cap . The bypass valve in the new design oil filter cap is designed with increased relief pressure. Use of an old design oil filter element with the new design oil filter cap could result in damage to the engine.
The new design oil filter element can be identified by a slightly smaller inside diameter as well as straight vertical pleats, rather than the previous zigzag pleats."
(This last part may not have originated from the same source as the above paragraphs)
"The below listed are the only correct GM filter and cap numbers to use on the 9-3 2.0 turbo Ecotec.
12580254
PF2259G
Oil filter cap assembly
12579143
PF456G
Oil filter element"
The supercharger comments makes me now wonder if it affects the Saab version of the Ecotec, or if it is limited to the Cobalt versions only.
