From fram site.

According to their marketing the micron /efficiency is 99% at greater than NOT equal to 20 micron. This is the AVERAGE efficiency between models "XG3387A, XG8A, and XG4967". And the OCOD is in that category...

For all we know those 3 filters are the only ones able to produce those numbers.
 
The Ultra is 99.9% efficiency (or whatever is the latest number) at greater than 20 microns for the models tested, which btw use the same filtering media as the other models. It isn't necessary to say equal to or not equal to 20 microns.
There are more specs like can burst strength and other testing found on their websites.
 
I don't think it will work. The height of the 49065-7007 filter is 2-3/8" 3-3/4" will have it right up against a wiring harness.
 
That's the orange can of death filter though I believe. I think I'm going to use the M1-103 oil filter
 
I just don't want to spend 12 bucks on a filter that only filters to 28 microns. Might as well not even put one on and just change the oil more frequently.

20.0001 microns is greater that 20 microns.

20.0001 microns is greater that 20 microns.


And 20.0000001 microns > 20 microns, and so on.

The Fram Extrra Guard start with PH, not XG.

Take a look at the particle size distribution specs for the test dust used for ISO 4548-12 oil filter testing and tell me exactly how many particles are exactly 20 microns in size.

A curve drawn based on discrete data points may not include every data point in the set - a lot of the curve will be interpolation.
 
Any opinions on the use of the XG3614 on a B&S V-Twin? I am running a Wix 51348 on my John Deere D140 with the 724cc V-Twin. Wix filters are not all that available where I live, so I buy they on the internet with shipping charges. The Fram XG3614 could be had a mile away at Walmart for the same if not less, but that higher 12 PSI bypass setting gives me pause.

Your opinions?

The Fram website says the WIX 51348 crosses over to the XG3614, so they are interchangeable regardless of the bypass valve setting.

No, that is a marketing recommendation, and nothing more. A filter with a 12 PSI bypass will be a real problem when combined with an engine with a 12 PSI oil system. Enough said?

The WIX website shows the 51348 crosses over to the XG3614. So both Fram and WIX show they cross over.

The WIX 51348 has a bypass setting of 8 to 11 psi. Not much different.

What you are failing to realize is that the filter's bypass valve doesn't operate according to the engine's oil pump pressure, but rather from the pressure difference across the filter media due to flow volume and restriction level.
