Nitrile ADV vs silicone ADV horizontal mount ?

[rkpatt]

I have recently acquired a vehicle with a horizontally mounted oil filter . Would it be better to use a an oil filter with a silicone ADV ( eg: Pure One, Purolator Synthetic etc ) ? - Thanks

yes.

Yes, silicone is the superior ADBV material regardless of mounting angle, application, etc.

Depends on the ambient temperatures in your area, and how long you're going to run the oil filter. If cold and/or you plan on running the filter for a long time, then silicone is the best option. If ambient temps don't get very cold (stay above freezing) and you run the filter a short time then a nitrile ADBV is fine.

+2 it will all be based off your location/driving style/and planned OCI. If we knew this a better recommendation could be made.
