High end oil filters examined
#23
Anyone else have pressure numbers to add? Would be nice to build & have an archive of oil filter/pressure reference. Of course it is important that the results from one filter to the next be tested on the same engine.
For example: The poster might say that on "X" (the posters' car) Amsoil filter made 60 @ idle cold & 50 @ temp. The Wix made 58 @ idle & 46 @ temp. The Royal purple made 60 @ idle & 52 @ temp...etc. These are just examples, not posted as ref material.
Could also include pressure @ WOT.

What's the difference between the regular black wix filters and the XP's?
I asked this earlier about the regular wix and you said "it's up there" and well, no, it's not up there.
Maybe when I get home later this month I'll buy a few, like a Purolator, Puraolator pure 1, regular black wix, and even a K&N and add to this.

I'm looking for a filter i can find locally like the Napa gold,Plat or Wix xp so i dont have to rely on ordering fleetguards and finding them. Does Napa make a long Plat. filter and how much different is it from the Wix XP and Gold's i know Wix makes them all?

It's not the XP version.
The XP versions have XP in the number and on the can.
The regular version has the standard paper media. It's a very good regular filter on par with a K&N or Mobil1 Extended.
The XP version has a synthetic media that's backed by a metal screening. It will filter better and last longer.
