This might be a really dumb question, so I apologize in advance if it is!
I have a few of the Purolator 14610 (Wix 1356/Fram 7317 size) filters for my Acura that recommends the Purolator 14459/Wix 1334/Fram 3593A. It has the same gasket and thread and it fits fine. I've noticed that with the Wix 1334 and 1356 they have the same relief PSI (8-11psi). But Purolators are 12-15 psi for the 14459 whereas the 14610 is 14-18 psi. Is this important, and should I pass on using the 14610? I find it odd that the 14610 which cross-ref's to the Wix 1356 has a different relief PSI...
Just in case I worded it poorly, here's a break-down of the filter relief PSI's for the filters I have:
Recommended size on left, newer/alternate size on right:
Fram PH3593A (12 PSI) compared to Fram PH7317 (13 PSI)
Wix 1334 (8-11 PSI) compared to Wix 1356 (8-11 PSI)
Purolator 14459 (12-15 PSI) compared to Purolator 14610 (14-18 PSI)
And the question in a nut-shell, is running the newer/alternate size of the Fram or Purolator (with differing Bypass specs) going to harm anything? I've ran both the 1334 and 1356 already, but since they have the same setting I didn't notice any difference in performance. Thanks in advance
