oil filter thread, read page 1 and page 93. After you read page 93 you will see why BITOG hates wix xp. RP = thick loose spunglass, wix xp = thin tight spun microglass, see what that means to the filtration on page 93. Read the entire thread to see why rp keeps coming out as top choice, over and over all roads lead to the same place, maybe one or two side roads, but read for yourself. Hemi tick is only part of it, hemi's also benefit from good filtered oil as well. Thick loose media not only filters great but it allows filters to spend less time in bypass, which when a filter is in bypass no filtering is happening.Oh, and btw, I've been using the Wix XP oil filter but the Fram Ultraguard right off the shelf at either Walmart or Canadian Tire looks really tempting. What do you guys think? I know some of you seem to swear by the Royal Purple filter. Don't have any warm or hot engine "Hemi tick", truck is 2008 2500 5.7 @ 135k km (roughly 80k miles) and was advised to run PUP 5w30 year round wich I started doing this year compared to running Castrol Edge 5w20 in winter and 5w30 in summer.
notice wix xp grey line and how bad it is as filtering larger micron particles, that is very poor, usually any filter filters those better at some point, they fall off the chart.
