Hi mark,
I think folks have said it's the same as the ACDelco PF20, but I'm not 100% sure. Try doing a search on several of the BBs, especially this one & the C900. I don't believe the filtering ability is any better, just the amount of crud it can hold. Any extra oil req'd is minimal, but every little bit helps.
The "new"/smaller filter for both my C900 & 9³ is the ACDelco PF53 equivalent, while the "old"/larger filter (the one I use) is the PF13 equivalent. The advantages to an oversized filter are more dirt-holding capacity & (theoretically) better oil flow thru the media (due to lower differential pressure, created by offering more media surface area & being less of a bottleneck).
ACDelco did a comparison against their now-defunct Ultraguard Gold filters. Theirs obviously came out on top, but they rated the Purolator PureOne filters as next best in both filtering & flow. Click on the link to see the filtering results, then click on the "Ultraguard Gold flows more filtered oil..." link (below their chart) to see the flow rates. IMO, it's a great filter for only $5.
