For 30w Oil at 180 deg F
XG10060
Flow - (Psid)
3 - (1.7)
6 - (3)
8 - (4.1)
9.7 - (5.2)
Hope this helps and let me know if you have further questions.
Jay - thank you for the data!
Obviously, SAE 30w oil at 180 deg F (82 deg C) will be a little thicker than the oil Purolator used on the PL14006 flow test. Purolator test engineer said in the SuperBusa thread (linked below again): "The test stand was set at 203 degrees F. Note the higher temp will lower the viscosity of the oil even more. So at 212 degrees F the differential pressure of the filter will be even slightly lower. The test oil used is very close to the same viscosity of 11.3cST at the tested temp."
So I'm thinking the viscosity of their test oil was ~11.0 cSt (centistokes).
Using this viscosity chart on BITOG,

I'd estimate the 30w oil FRAM used was probably ~10.0 cSt at 82 deg C (180 F) ... a little less viscous.
So comparing the "Flow vs PSID" data between the FRAM XG10060 data you gave above and the PureOne PL14006 (both filters are for the same LS engine application),
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...451#Post1619451
it looks like the FRAM XG showed just a slightly higher PSID at the same GPM flow points ... but that is to be expected because the viscosity of FRAM's test oil was a little higher.
So, my logical thought at this point is that the XG and PureOne basically flow the same in this particular filter application.
Thanks again for the help Jay.
