Fram Ultra 10060 vs 12060

[Snagglefoot]

I am doing two oil changes this weekend, a 2008 Chev 3/4 ton Suburban with a 6.0 and 2022 Chev Malibu with a 1.5 Turbo. The 6.0 gets the 10060 equivalent to a PF48 and the Malibu gets the 12060 equivalent to a PF64. Both are Fram Ultras and they are pretty much identical except the 12060 has a higher bypass pressure. Here are some pics. Enjoy.

I recall that 12060 was used for a while before Fram upped the PRV pressure in the 10575 …

spin a 10575 on both of them and call it a day IMO. a LS oil pump can overcome the bypass if needed.

Grip coating a little less on the 60.

Saw that. That is crazy. The machine must have been set incorrectly.

Maybe or more "changes" at first brands. Another poster recently posted one that was even less than yours here. Not sure what the deal is.

They are both 060s. The 10 looks to have more textured grip than the 12, which looks like around the typical amount. Obviously it can vary … guess the grip application machine isn't laser calibrated, lol.

Might try this slightly oversized filter.

I used to do it on my 2008 6.0 LS. When Chevrolet went to the higher pressure variable rate oil pump in the Gen V LS engines in 2014, they upped the bypass pressure in the PF 63. Fram correspondently went along and upped the bypass pressure in the 10575. Those Gen V pumps could provide 80 psi at the sensor on top the block. My 2008 can deliver only 40 psi at the oil pressure sensor which is its normal design pressure. I left it alone and stayed with the 10060 with the lower bypass pressure. The engine now has 265,000 miles on it and runs fine. YRMV.
