I did a search and didn't see any info on a Wix 51060Xp or Napa platinum 41060. These both look like an upgraded standard WIX 51060. Has anyone run them on a small block Chevy?

I just saw something that compared then and yeah the standard actually filters more! That's crazy. I guess I'll go with the standard 51060.
Unless you're running super long intervals, just go for the standard Wix.

What's the difference between the 51060 and 51061?
51060 has an antidrainback valve, the other doesn't, the 51060 can be used in all applications, the 51061 is only recommended for older applications where the filter is mounted vertically.

Wix XP has stronger media that resists tearing
Get a regular Wix or Fram XG.
Looks like they’re redesigning the stickers for the filters. Maybe the protec will be easier to find soon.
Uh-oh, I tow in hot conditions running a Wix Gold! My engine's gonna die!! Brought to you by the company (Mann & Hummel) that said the Bosch DISTANCE PLUS couldn't go farther than 3000 miles-so full of it...
And has extremely poor efficiency... And they know how to build a decent Full Synthetic media filter (Puro Boss, formerly Synthetic), they just assume their customers don't know any better.
