Viscosity of a particular oil grade is a range. You either have a light 40 weight or heavy 30 weight grade oil. They do not fall in decimal or half grades when mixing. There is calculators to figure out what grade you actually have if you have the tech data sheets of the oil used.I've got 3 quarts of Delo XLE 15w40, and 3 quarts of Delo XLE 10w30.
Works out to a 12.5 w 35.
That's more of a joke I make about the oil mixture I use. I wanted more than 10w30, and less than 15w40, but did want an oil speced for gas and diesel engines with a lot of detergents, and hopefully good stuff for the one with flat tappet.Viscosity of a particular oil grade is a range.

10W-35 for the win!That's more of a joke I make about the oil mixture I use. I wanted more than 10w30, and less than 15w40, but did want an oil speced for gas and diesel engines with a lot of detergents, and hopefully good stuff for the one with flat tappet.
Both run smooth and sounds smooth with that in there.
Got mine too. From Mexico alsoWell, here they are. Again, from MyAutoParts123-dot-com, ordered 04/02/2024, received 04/04/2024, at about 1:45pm via UPS Ground.
FREE shipping on orders of $25 or more. Just about $40 for 3 filters.
Filters well packaged and all 3 look perfect and made in Mexico, exactly like the ones I got from Summit and RP Direct.

They are calling it "Synthetic Microglass Media". That very well could be a fancy word for fiberglass.
If that's the case, I have a roll of fiberglass house insulation. I could rip off a hunk and stuff it in the filter housing...lol
spun glass is microscopic glass, this is 250x, it doesnt need binders that cellulose filters need, it just needs a metal screen to hold it together, those binders stiffen filters with use. If there is a better media, it is news to me. Left side paper, right side microglass. From the gm test to the independent lab tests, it flows better, lasts longer, and catches more contamination, and doesnt blow holes when binded like paper does. I literally think they should ban paper filters this stuff is so good, generally I am not for bans either.They are calling it "Synthetic Microglass Media".

If you're going to try dual filters,why not go back to the 3/4-16 filter nipples. That opens up more options for filters with more capacity then most 22mm X 1.5 filters offer. The 30-8A filters on my truck,are probably close to twice the size of the 20-820 filter.So it is really looking like we only have a very few good options, and I want to run this by ram forum. So 6 holes and 5 of them are tiny, this is not as desirable I think we all can agree as 8 larger holes for flow. BUT and this is a BIG but like kardashian big, what if we had those endurance filters fe2 but had a two filter set up??? Wouldnt that in theory even be better then a single 20-820???
..............The sadder joke is microglass seams to be on the way out, lol.
Nice ole trackcar setup there.Mine came in the exact same boxes,lol. All are Made in Mexico and look good. I gave each one a touch of silcone lube on the gaskets ,and threw them under my slotcar track in the basement,where it's dry,and the wife won't stumble over them,lol.
how many holes on those filters?If you're going to try dual filters,why not go back to the 3/4-16 filter nipples. That opens up more options for filters with more capacity then most 22mm X 1.5 filters offer. The 30-8A filters on my truck,are probably close to twice the size of the 20-820 filter.
I have about a 1,000 hours and a little over $4,000 into building it,lol. It's a routed track that's fully computor controlled,and times down to 0.001.The track is wired for brakes and has a 10 amp power supply on each lane.Nice ole trackcar setup there.
