So is the rp 20-820 the only synthetic filter with 7 holes and everyone else has less?

Wix 57899XP is large wix for 5.7?

Cheap is always better.

Yes. The wix xp51372 also fits. Same size as the 57899xp but with better flow rates and higher bypass pressure

Heres oictures of what i saw at oreillies. They had a few of these out and a 57899xp that was also showing the same

The 57899xp has a 7-9 gpm flow and the 51372xp has a 11-13 gpm

If you are buying from walmart, make sure you open it first, people keep switching cheap filters with fe2, so many of the cartons have super tech filters in there and the sc um bags put the fe2 in the super tec box and purchased it.

Another PSA is don't buy them online and have them shipped to you. Forgot what I was ordering but it was cheaper online then in the store and needed to get to $35 for the free shipping so I bought oil filters for the truck and work car. The filters were the right ones but the one box had half of the top ripped off and nowhere to be found. Needless to say I go there and pick them out now.

so the 51372xp is the larger one but only by 1/16 inch in height? That is crazy? And incredible, any idea how this is possible? More holes? Do you know these rates for 20-820 versus 20-500 versus 10-48? That would be huge. wix 51372xp maybe a top choice? Good to find options as we dont know where rp is headed.

I got the flow numbers from summit racing. Sadly they dont list the flow rate for the royal purple filters. The bypass psi opening is 22 psi on the 51372xp and for the 57899xp its 16 psi

I just bought another one ill check how many holes. I just put one on my truck and all is well so far

So wix xp makes amsoil ea racing filters, do they now also make their passenger line? Man, if so this is horrible, lol. Are we at the point where we say second best filter is fram ultra with it's 8 holes on the larger option? Mopar srt? If this is it for the 20-820 then it would have to be those 2?

I wonder about putting in a bypass set up but having one of those filters empty, just for flow? Does anyone make an oil filter with no guts, lol? Racing application must have this as an option?

I posted this info in the RP 20-820 thread as a result of the discussion there about filter flow and hole sizes...

RP 20-820 filters in the Calgary area

There was a fella around here, not a very bright guy mind you, but he has been predicting this since 2016. The 20-820 just might be on the way out. Used to be able to get everywhere, then down to 3 stores, and now?? Amazon has been dry for a long time, the writing is still on the wall. If...

@Burla asked me to post it here also, so here it is...

****************************************************
@Burla and anyone else interested in my contribution to our collection of oil filter p*o*r*n...
Both filters are the "10060" oem-size and made by Fram. The left is the XG10060 Ultra, the right is the FE10060 Endurance.
All the holes on each filter appear to be the same size but there are other differences.

Both filters were purchased at our nearby Walmart on the same day, sometime in December 2023.

Fram Ultra > Endurance even though it has blended media?

 

[HEMIMANN]

Jfc - why would you market a premium filter with smaller oil entry opening?

its a fram? that's all I got, lol.

I bet they are just built in different plants, if I had a guess this will fix this at some point.

Here is my Fram Ultra for my 3.6. Notice the wide pleat with a hole at the top of it?

 

[HEMIMANN]

Oh, for chris' sake - they outsourced to Brazil.

Big claim to fame in the 10's was Ultra was all USA made. wtf.

 

[White six four]

Fram fe2 I just bought a week ago. Product of USA

same as mine, 5 tiny holes one larger one. IMO this is gonna restrict flow over 8 full sized holes.

 

[Wild one]

Just curious if the 1 big hole,might be opposite of the pleat where the 2 ends join together inside the filter

 

[Burla]

my fe2 made in usa as well, maybe that doesnt mean quality?
