2014 Chevrolet Impala with a 3.6L LFX Engine - Oil Filter Bypass ?

[Bowtie36]

I own a 2014 Chevrolet Impala with a 3.6L LFX Engine. As far as I can tell, GM specs the Oil Bypass Pressure to be 22lbs.

When looking up the proper Fram Ultra Oil filter it states to use a XG10060 Oil Filter. The Oil Bypass on this Filter is rated for 9-15 Lbs.
For the 2015-2020 Impala with the 3.6L LFX Engine it states to use a XG10575 Oil Filter The Oil Bypass on this Filter is rated for 16-28 Lbs.

Which is actually correct? there is no difference between the 2014 and the 2015-2020 3.6L LFX Engine.

I'm curious what you are basing that from?

Welcome to BITOG

Contact Fram and ask them why they don't use the high-spec bypass for the 2014

The AC Delco Website shows the same Filter for the LFX V6 from 2012 to 2020 which is rated for Oil Bypass at 22

The LFX Engine did not change until the LGX came out and the LGX was not used in the Impala.
