Oil Filter Thread

[Curmudgeon]

Maybe someday we will get numbers on filters that have 10k miles on them, that is what I attempt to promote. Filters that will filter better at the end of an interval then other filters, and most of that is theory. Will poly be as good as spun glass at mile 10k? My guess is spun glass filters as good at any mileage as mile 1 assuming capacity is there and oil acidicity didn't come into play. I'm not as sure with poly, it's a different type of media.

Why I said "we need our own lab". Oh wait, I'm retired, ok forget it.

*Update*
Henceforth, the PBL-24651 will mean the "Purolator Burla Likes" 24651.

I believe so
Dub you see yourself in the new rumble bee someday?

I like it, will have to take a look at it in person.

9 inches shorter then any quad, 13 inches shorter then crew cab, dropped 2 inches, I guess they rake left in on purpose for the stance. I will be looking hard after they get a couple years on their production. hemi no e torque 60k give/take.

I'm also looking forward to the debut of the Dakota '27 model year? ... though, I'll take a harder look at it after all of the 'Gremlins' are ironed out.

If you are lucky they will have a Pentastar, but for sure many engines will be shiet.

Hell, I'd look at it with a Pentastar.

Does size matter….
Seriously though, on my 2500 mile earl change I used the Purolator Boss PBL22500 and it’s a few inches shorter than the OEM Mopar filter. Getting close to my 5k OCI and looking for some guidance. Are there any issues with a smaller capacity filter, or should I look for another brand? What about the WIX XP? It looks to be more along the same size of OEM.

 

[HEMIMANN]

GeauxinUp I think most of us by now would advise to use the largest filter you can. Why? Hemi is marginally oiled due to low low idle (to save gas ) and of course the lifters and cams not being properly oiled.

So - anything to keep flow restriction down while efficiency up is the answer. Which is why we want all synthetic media with the largest surface area.

Not that in necessarily matters in regards to your point, but I have the HO Hurricane. I’ll go with the WIX XP. At least it’s a synthetic blend media. Thanks!

I suspect with twin turbos, low flow restriction is even more critical to keep the bearings not only lubed, but cooled.

For decades turbos were sleeve bearings, then they switched to ceramic ball bearings for lower friction but they broke from fatigue like most ceramics. So I had read they are back to sleeve bearings. Or journal bearings, if you prefer.

Therefore, synthetic oil is critical for lower friction, higher heat resistance, and flow rate is important too. Any of these newer engines are being pushed - unlike the old sloppy V8 hogs of yore.

i would imagine with a motor like that (TTi6) they would have the sense to call for a euro spec 0w/5w 40?

I used “factory fill” PUP 0w40 for my first one, but am planning on switching to Mobil 1 ESP 0w40
