Does anyone know what the Kralinator PF1218 equivalent is? Are there any online resources to look up Kralinator part numbers?

I wonder what the "high pressure" version (51620) has in it that makes it different? Better media? Or just a stronger casing so it's burst strength is better?
I have run the Carquest Premium 85060 filter (same filter as Wix 51060) on my Firebird, but found that the oil pressure spiked up a little bit just before the redline at full throttle in my car. So I switched to the K&N HP3002, and now the oil pressure stays steady at full throttle all the way through the rpms.
But maybe this high pressure version will flow better? Perhaps you could email your contact there and see if he can provide more info?

I also emailed Dana Canada with this same question and I got the response today. The rep stated that the Kralinator had identical specs to the Wix. He sent me a data sheet with the specs for Wix 51060 and the Kralinator L270 . This filter can be used on a variety of small block and big block Chevrolet V8's.

I got a response and he states that it is the same filter but with a heavier can. The high pressure unit has a burst rate of 500 PSI.

Thanks! I was hoping it would've been a better flowing filter too though.
I'll still stick with my K&N HP3002s for now.

To save me a bunch of typing, check out:

I can't figure out what 2/20 = 11/27 means. Maybe a beta ratio of 11 at 2 microns and 27 at 20 microns. The 11 at 2 sounds too good to be true.
Not directly related to your question, but an interesting beta ratio comparison chart:
http://www.pureoil.com/faq.htm
Beta of 2 = 50% efficient at 11 microns
Beta of 20 = 95% efficient at 27 microns
Beta of 20 = 95% efficient at 27 microns
That sounds like it's probably correct, especially compared to the other information I have read on here about Wix filters.
