I'd love to see both of these filters filter material under a microscope or someway to prove they are different. They look the same and feel the same. Wish someone could actually prove they are different.

From what i under stand they are different the K&N Flowing better,me too.

Maybe I could send some media to my wife's lab. They got cool microscopes and stuff! She counts germs.

According to the Royal purple rep the media in there oil filter is a cotton gauze vs a combination for the Mobil 1.

It is a synthetic glass matting, not cotton gauze.

Amsoil
RP
WIX

all should flow well


I'm not sure what you mean? If I go to a parts store and look up the available oil filters for my truck will some from the same brand be bigger?

well you'll have to do some home work or the counter guy may be able to help,need to check thread pitch/size and gasket diameter,bypass rating all need to be close to the stock application but in a bigger physical size filter.

go to WIX site look up your application and hunt for a bigger sized filter with your specs

like GM's PF-52 is the over sized(longer) filter for the stock pf-47.

I get it now. thx

I run an oversize PureONE filter like this since I have plenty of space and there is nothing that will be a proximity problem (exhaust heat, etc.) by using a longer filter on my truck, so I do.

In my case, the oversize is 4 3/4" long instead of the stock 3 3/8" long...everything else is identical.
And having cut the two apart, I know the bigger one I use actually has more filter media area. This tends to increase filter efficiency a little as the particle containing oil velocity through the media is a bit slower, as well as max flow at some high RPM conditions when the oil pressure curve from the pump is likely being truncated by the pressure regulator valve.

No, a NAPA Gold 1515 is the bigger filter. M1-301 and K&N HP-3001. I have a full list on DodgeForum.com.

Thank you!

 

[RWEST]

And, if you want to REALLY go oversize, the MotorCraft FL299 or WIX 51773 is almost 7" long!!!

 

[stenerson]

K and N oil filter. The OD on the larger one is .03in larger. Everything else seems to match. Would that make a difference?

 

[stenerson]

Sorry, should have specified. 2004 vs 3001.
