Why? 10-47?
We need someone to dissect one for our application for sure.
Yeah even with all that text I cant figure out if they really intend on the 10-47 even being for our engines....
And the SRT filter fits perfectly, and I figure Mopar wouldnt allow stuff to be drastically changed on it since its spec-ed for their higher priced vehicles. One thing I dont mind buying at a dealer, I guess.
EDIT: just checked and the rp website still showing 10-48 for my 2017 RAM 1500 (Hemi). V6 shows a completely different (non "10-") number. Neither show 10-47.
I appreciate the information, being a fan has nothing to do with it, if there are new issues we want to know. Thanks for posting. Rat blog doesn't test base oils, his tests only test vii's when they are at full strength. ATSM's are real science. That is why hemi's tick on his top oils and don't on his bottom oils.
Good to know then! So seems like we’re in the “all clear” for the 10-47 quality issue. But even the 10-48 is questionable now...honestly think I may try K&N next or just go back to Mopar. Who’s to say the NEW 10-48 that may come out 2020 as well won’t be just as horrible as the 10-47. Just the fact that RP thought it was a good idea to make their filter like garbage is enough for me to no longer trust them or advocate and buy their products in the future. Without 540 Rat doubt any of us really would have caught on to this!

The writing has been on the wall as far as Royal Purple filters, thus why many of us bought twenty or thirty years worth. At a minimum I wouldn't trust buying anything more than one filter from them, and cut it open. I haven't seen something that says they are completely garbage yet, but from recent experiences I'd say they went from an a+ to a b- until and if we get more verification.
SRT sounds like a great option, bottom line spun microglass is the way to go, so another thing that will beneficial to the forum is if guys start cutting open SRT filters like we have done with RP filters to make sure the media is holding up with extended miles. Maybe knock RP of it's perch, but I need to actually see and hear a few experiences before saying that personally.
Some of us may have a little too much time on our hands, researching on the Internet is not healthy at this point in time. Stick to what YOU can control.
Hmmm.... issues noted on another forum from October 2019 show inconsistent openings in the center sleeve. They're built in Poland.
Maybe the Fram Ultra is the best bet for now?
I'd supply the link to the other forum discussion but I don't think that's allowed here.
I wasn’t researching anything. Been meaning to read that GIANT blog for 2 years now finally did it when I had some down time. I’m one of the fortunate ones who gets to work through this entire pandemic. And I can control both not buying RP anymore AND sharing this knowledge with others who never would have ever stumbled across this information. Maybe it’s false? Prove him wrong then. Guess your mad you got one of the bad filters [emoji23]
