You buy one then - and post picturesA few more PSI of dP isn't going to bother a PD pump. Keep the RPM down on any engine until the oil warms up, regardless of what filter is used to minimize filter bypass action.

What's pictures have to do with dP vs flow?You buy one then - and post pictures
You don’t need them bcs you already know more than one test graph has shown that …What's pictures have to do with dP vs flow?
Some Ultras still seem to be made with wire-backed media. But lots of the models have indeed changed to a non-wire backed media. Been 100s of threads about it.Has the Fram Ultra really changed?
They list the media as a synthetic blend, but it's outward appearance looks the same. Still the pink glass fibers. the XG9972 that my RX takes is still wire-backed as well. The date code showed the filter was months old.
Wasn't the biggest draw of the ultras the Synthetic media that filters crazy high at 20 micron and even down to 5 micron?Some Ultras still seem to be made with wire-backed media. But lots of the models have indeed changed to a non-wire backed media. Been 100s of threads about it.
Fram says the new media is just as efficient, and has the same holding capacity as the old Ultra. Some people just don't like seeing "wavy" pleats from use.Wasn't the biggest draw of the ultras the Synthetic media that filters crazy high at 20 micron and even down to 5 micron?
If that's not changed and the filters don't tear I don't see the fuss about the wire backing.
Took my FE10575 from the box - noticeably heavier than XG10575Another vote for Fram Endurance
My daughter has anFord that is still under warranty. I use Fram Ultra filters on it. I keep a Motorcraft oil filter and a jar of the used oil from the car‘s last oil change. If the engine ever craps out, the first thing I will do before I have it towed to the Ford dealer is to fill that Motorcraft filter with the old but still good oil and swap it out. Excuse averted.Do you wan't to give Kia any excuse to void your warranty if the car develops an engine problem?
Hyundai did not void my warranty when I had a Fram Ultra. I recieved a new motor. They did try to scare me with their bark, I said, the Magnusen-Moss Warranty Act states I have the legal right to run any oil filter I want, as long it is a major filter manufacture with the part # designed for my car. Nothing more was said after I barked back.Do you wan't to give Kia any excuse to void your warranty if the car develops an engine problem?
They could have technically voided the warranty on the engine damage (and most likely wiould have) if they can prove that the aftermarket part was the actual cause. I take it your engine problem was not caused by the Fram oil filter.Hyundai did not void my warranty when I had a Fram Ultra. I recieved a new motor.

Of course not, it IS a Hyundai. 99% of their problem is their engineering and not testing their engineering for robustness. Oh and of course their metallurgy choices are in question too. When has a name brand filter EVER been a problem. Never???They could have technically voided the warranty on the engine damage (and most likely wiould have) if they can prove that the aftermarket part was the actual cause.

There have been a few instances posted here on BITOG ... but it is very rare, but not "never".When has a name brand filter EVER been a problem. Never???
Extended mileage filters were invented for a reason & it wasn't because standard filters can go 15,000 miles.I’m going to get some hate for this but……any filter will work for 15k miles, some filtering better than others. But on a newer car 2012+ shouldn’t be an issue. You and your engine will never know the difference.
Wait what ?? It’s been a while for meSome Ultras still seem to be made with wire-backed media. But lots of the models have indeed changed to a non-wire backed media. Been 100s of threads about it.
The ultra's got a new media w/o wire backing. But some might still be produced with the metal backing. They offer a newer premium filter option at Walmart called the Fram Endurance & they are wire backed.Wait what ?? It’s been a while for me
