oil filters
 

I have a 1999-502 MPI engine with a upside down oil filter, what oil filter have a anti-drainback valve.

Most good filters. Stay away from Fram - rubber cheap check. If you look at the materials versus a Wix or NAPA filter you'd be amazed!!

if you have the clearance, the AC Delco pf932 a;llows you to carry one extra quart of oil in the system.

Mobil 1 M1-302.

ONLY Fram. We have been using them for years with no issues. Compare the Fram to Wix. The Fram is a high burst pressure, high volume filter. I wouldn't run a Wix if they gave them out free. HP 4

You guys ain't making this easy. :)

50 years experience here. Sorry, just trying to help through what we have seen. Take a compare the to filters. Look at the size of the inlet holes in both, the construction of cartridge, element, ect. It will speak for it's self. :D

Any idea who makes the Merc oil filters?

I think you may have this backwards...honestly. Not looking to start anything, but there is a cut way of both filters showing the internals, listing the flows and the pressures. Wix is much better constructed than Fram. I'm talking about the big filters though. I think they are equal to the HP6 Fram, which I have had several issues with.

To each his own I guess:

Here is a thread from a Camaro site. The pictures are identical to the cut away I have seen. There is no way that you can dispute that the construction of the WIX is far superior to the Fram.

Evidently we aren't the only ones in disagreement!!

read the marine lubrication post, start from about 6 pages back from the end, you really want to ask about (1) flow & (2) filtratation & then pick what you need. big diff from wix and wix racing etc, read the whole thing & you will really know

If the Wix works for you stay with it. Take a look at the size of the inlet holes in the Wix verses the Fram . There is less volume which results in a restriction in flow. This isn't our first rodeo.:D I guess when you have bearing wear and dirt you need a filter, maybe I'll start not running any.....We do not have that problem.

Wix 51060 is my choice.

???? Wix on left, Fram on right.

The Fram filter you posted is not a HP series. The HP filter has 8 holes that are the same size as the wix photo you have pictured. Our preference is Fram through over 50 years of building championship winning engines . You can use what ever you want.

My Motor guys uses the fram HP series on my motor so that is what I stick with.
