Yep, The Ultra xg10575
I really want to run the new chevy spec mobil 0w40 and a bypass.
There looks to be plenty of room to add a sandwich plate between the filter and mount. just block one port and return to the fill cap.
That may be a test on the 3.5 ecoboost, but first I'm testing some base lines with the fram filter only until i can find a suitable Frantz type system.
Updates, at least on the 2.7 EcoBoost even the 5 um beta 1000 filter could not bring down the particle count. At least not in combination with oem cartridge filter.
I just upgraded to the 18 3.5 EcoBoost. Hopefully after we move into the new house in August i can set up something for the new...
According to someone from Baldwin this filter is make this way on purpose. The little plug sits in the filter outlet as the restrictor. Ive ruled this filter out as it's not very effective at reducing the particle count or wear metals on a gas truck.
IF you look back to the bottom two photos, the first one is the hole in the filter element were in a conventional filter the relief valve would be. the last photo is the typical bypass element restriction. having a second hole after this means most of the oil will take the path of least...
I'm in the same boat, currently about 10k with the bypass on 50k motor. Plan to keep it on since its already there. My thread below has some data, should be posting up a new uoa by Monday.
As to the cam wear, if it was large particles a feragrophy would have been needed to se those. Or a patch made.
The ow40 is doing great so far. 250 miles left for the next 1000mile sample. No change in fuel economy either. Viscosity shows to be more stable and tbn should last to 10k plus.
0w40 is preforming great in my 2.7 ecoboost. Doesn't shear as fast. And on a fullsize truck have seen no loss in fuel economy. Still floating in the low 20mpg.
Have a thread in the bypass filter section, analysis results per 1k miles. Currently at 3k but will continue to test until I see a...
105000 miles
Random oil changes by Firestone up till 2 years ago.
I'll cut every filter i run across lol. Always found it interesting.
Thanks guys(gals if their here)
