Oil filter part number

[GammaFlat]

There are YouTube videos where the popular brands are cut open. After watching these videos, I don't do anything but Wix. There are a few others that are seemingly close in quality (don't recall which) but Wix is obviously top tier.

Exactly how much better filters matter.. I think they are but I don't really know. ..I am willing to spend a few extra bucks in case it is important but I've never blown up an engine using a Fram (I've run a lot of Fram oil filters previously). Any filter is probably going to grab most larger particulates (~20 microns and greater).

I'm not making recommendations - just sharing my personal methods. If I told you I changed my oil at half the recommended interval, I might catch some ire of those with environmental concerns (so I won't).

so the PF48E seems like the logical choice? I tried punching in the numbers at two different auto parts suppliers and they only gave me the number for a vehicle with no oil cooler.

Go with that one. Correct me if im wrong but every 6.0 i ran across come with oil coolers. Then again that 2014+

I use the Fram XG10060 Ultra Synthetic. It's a quality build, metal en caps, metal screen backing and I saw an actual filtration test of the media where it filtered out particles the best. I can't find that test anymore, the site must have gone offline. They practically did all of the filter brands and models at the time.

The Fram XG against the Mobil:

The Wix XP is also a very good filter but their quality has gone down a bit with using a leaf spring and not a metal screen backing, now plastic. In my mind, I don't think that leaf vs. coil spring makes a whole lt of difference. It's my second go-to filter when the Fram XG isn't available.

And I put magnets on the outside of the can to trap metal particles. I use these and they are very effective.

I normally use a M1-113A (Mobil 1 Extended). The AC Delco is PF48E. See link for a few choices, but maybe not the best prices: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/c3/oil-filters/15341 L77 6.0 (stock config.) holds 8qts. w/oil & filter change.

final answer: I went with the Mobil1 113A because it was either that or the fram at the local store, thanks everyone!!

1. I don't know if there's any equivalent choice to the Mobil 1 extended, that might allow more oil flow through the filter media.
2. Some users have reported that the Fram XG Gold is currently compromised by the recent deletion of the metal screen backing for the filter media.
