didnt know you could do this on WXI's website. it sheds some light on a few things. just for info it looks like the flow rate is slightly less (even though its bigger) on the "57899" as well as the by-pass valve setting is significantly higher compared to the stock "57060". also for some reason the 57060xp does not list the burst pressure and the 57899 does not list the Beta-ratio.
You would really have to do some research before changing form the OEM or OEM equivalent filter.
also the 57060xp is actually used on a lot of american v8's.
