What is the Best Oil Filter for a 5.7 Hemi (non-eTorque)?

Wix XP , Pennzoil Ultra Synthetic 5w20

Normally use Mopar. But I've used Bosch oil filters when on sale. They seem real good too.

My truck uses (2) 30-8A Royal Purple filters,lol

Wix

WIX - 57060XP - Oil Filter I find to be the best oil filter out there they make alot of others at the plant like mopar ect..​

Not really sure why you felt the need to quote me,then yell at me dude. Kind of curious what i did to you,that seems to have pee'd you off,lol

Been using Fram XG2 in my Ram for the last several changes.

That little XG10060 just seems way too small to me, and the XG2 is listed for the Challengers, etc. with the Hemi.

Some have said the XG2 won't fit on their Rams, though. Not enough space.

If the XG2 fits the new FE2 Endurance should fit also.

royal purple 20-500, the big one that fits.

If the XG2 fits the new FE2 Endurance should fit also.

I will take a look for that one on the next oil change.

One that is made for the vehicle, and designed to filter!

I'm guessing you're referring to my set-up.Not my first kick at the can with dual filters,so they're mounted in parrellel,and sit well below the oil filter set-up on the 5.7's,so there's no drainback. I was running this same exact set-up way back in the early 80's on big block chebbies,that tells you how long Transdapt has been building their dual filter set-ups,lol

Must work really well since they haven't been changed since April of 2019.

Uhh

2 filters REDUCE restriction eh??
Maybe im just a dumb michigan swamp rat but …

In the case of nothing changing but adding a second filter Oil pressure is resistant to flow ….literally. So if the only thing that changed is an added filter and you pressure went up , then flow went down.

You are right 100%. Flow decreases going through a restriction making pressure. Adding a second filter would effectively do more harm on the components internally.

Yah I still believe this to be true.

Not quite.If you have a certain volumne of flow through a restriction,cutting that restriction in half,buy doubling it's size,increases flow through the system. The filters are in parrallel,not series,so basically you've doubled the size of the filter,while reducing the inline restriction. Pretty well all V8 car/truck engines measure the oil pressure "after" the filters,not before them,so if the measured pressure after the filters goes up,that means the flow volumn through the filters has also gone up.The oil pump still moves the same amount of oil before the filter,and if nothing internally in the engine has changed,but the measured pressure after the filter/filters is higher,that concludes there must be less restriction between the pump and bearings.
Might be easier to think of it in regards to an oil filter that is old,and getting slightly contaminated,and flow through it starts to decrease,the first thing that drops after the filter is the measured pressure,as you don't have the same volumn of oil being forced through the system to the bearings.
Once you realize oil pressure is measured after the filters,it'll make more sense

I hear this same thing going on a few miles from my house lime every other weekend. Honestly its pretty hearing it.

This is super popular in Michigan. Mud Trucks. This is a little one

Been using the large Mopar MO899.
Gonna give the RP 20-820 a go next time.

The OP asked the question, stating that it was a non e-torque. I'm just a dumb nail-bender, but why is that relevant? A 5.7 is a 5.7 when talking 5th Gen.
