I have been using an oversized Mobil 1 M1-212A filter on this vehicle for the past 10 years. I want to switch to Fram Ultra synthetic oversized XG10575 since that is what I use in all my other vehicles. I am not a filter expert by any means but I do know more filter media and oil volume is a good thing. The stock size for the car is pf48 / m1-113a / xg10060. Is there an issue with bypass pressure? Would this be a good idea or go back to stock? Thank you for the advice.

nope. I run oversize 10575 sized on pre 2015 gm stuff every day. the new Mobil 1 M1-212a is a good filter.
I went to Fram's website to see what the bypass valve setting was on both the XG10060 and the XG10575 to compare them, and looks like Fram took down all the technical specifications on all their oil filters ... so can't even see what the bypass setting is, or anything else on them anymore. Crazy move by Fram ... going farther down the tube.

I've run both the 10575 & 10060 several times and never noticed a difference.

The new Mobil 1 version might have better quality since they've moved away from M+H.
Not true on the new Mobil 1 being supplied by Highline Warren.
I went there to check the Fram website after you mentioned this, not even the size of the can is listed, nothing, I did link a pdf file before that would be gone, it was the only useful piece of information left!
I stand corrected - thank you. After researching that I see. I am glad to see that the Mobil 1 filter may now be worth the premium!
Yes I am learning that now and appreciate the heads up.
Fram continues to have quality control issues. Hopefully after the bankruptcy they get it together.
Here’s the new Mobil 1 oil filter
. Purchased at Walmart for $11.44.
Definitely gives me Pentius vibes to be honest. Most likely VAFI built(made in Vietnam). Some models are made in South Korea. A little extra glue but otherwise a high quality build. Much better than the previous M+H made Mobil 1 filters. Highline Warren is handling the warranty on these.
Tomorrow I’ll cut out the media and get measurements.

Fram did indeed take down all their technical specs. I asked their tech support line why, and the answer was about making life easier for the web page guys. If you use the long version, FE10575 vs the FE10060, Fram will not stand behind a warranty claim. Fram (sister company) makes filters for GM, etc. I'm sure they must pass GM standards.
Microgard Select MSL50760 is all you need at $10.
All web guys fired, and the web update guy now the janitor.
True for every oil filter company ... it's an easy out to deny any warranty claim.
