EAO20 in place of EAO13

[Malibuman]

I have a 2001 Nissan Quest and was wondering if the eao20 with a higher by-pass setting than the eao13 would have any negative effects.

I don't have the chart listing the EaO bypass ratings at the moment (I'm not home), but if it's within somewhere between 8-16 between the both of them, then it falls between the choice of a Wix and a Purolator. So any discomfort felt would be the same with either of those choices depending on which persuasion you subscribe to.

Folks are using the EaO44 as a replacement if it fits, the bypass is the same PSI. It's fatter at the base so you need to make sure you have room at the base.

Here is a EaO filter table link: (thanks to Pablo!)

Referring to the Wix counterparts for both the EaO13 and the EaO20, they both have the same by-pass relief settings.

If you don't plan on plugging up your filter, I say go for it. The 20 surely has a larger capacity than the 13.

why would you choose the EAO filter when the WIX has a much better Beta # (in this case the WIX filters better)....
