ok, so i'm surfing the Amsoil site looking for a replacement for the Toyota filter ... and even tho i'm driving a Prius, i'd like to use the ever so just slightly larger Camry filter
Wix 51396
Mann ML1017
the Wix dealer price is $6.10, the Mann dealer price is $3.55
here's my Q's, if anyone has any answers
the Corolla filter is 0.425 inches longer, same diameter, as the Prius filter
(Purolator 14477 versus 14476, Wix 51396 versus 51394, Mann ML1017 versus 1009)
i imagine i'm getting the benefit of more filtering media, unless they pack the same amount into both filters
QUESTION ONE
am i getting the benefit of slightly more oil capacity?
am i sacrificing oil pressure?
in short is there ANY advantage, and is there ANY drawback?
QUESTION TWO
the Wix filter is almost twice the cost, am i getting twice the benefit?
is there any benefit whatsoever for the money?
yes ... i want to run extended OCI's with the Amsoil SSO 0W30
what say you's ... ?
