They changed the part number for the filter and cap. Its 12580254 it looks like they changed the cap a bit.Its a little lower profile and the socket size changed.(smaller).It also looks like there are more threads on it but I may be wrong there.Just an FYI I got it for 10 and change.

So these filters are just a standard GM part or do they have a brand name on them?

Standard GM part.

AC Delco. Just ask the guy at the parts counter for an Ecotec oil filter.
