Can someone explain to me ( in simple terms, I ain't real bright LOL ) the difference between a Wix 57620XE and 57620XP filter..

Per the specs in links above, the 57620XE is enhanced cellulose media and is more efficient than the XP.
The XP is full synthetic and designed for longer change interval.
Efficiency Specs
57620XE = 50% @ 14 microns, 95% @ 25 microns.
57620XP = 50% @ 20 microns.

from Wix specs:
XE, Beta Ratio: 2/20=14/25
Nominal Micron Rating: 14
XP, Beta Ratio: B2=20
OK, but is there a simple way to understand Beta Ratio, Like on the XE Beta Ratio 2/20=14/25 now does that convert to 50% @ 14 microns and 95% @ 25 microns? Are the numbers after the = always microns? Or another way to ask the question, what does 2/20 and B2 mean?

Is this for a Cummins engine? If so the XE is ok but there are better filters out there to be had.

Case-IH doesn't call it a Cummins, but it is!

They would be a Consolidated diesel company engine. CDC was a partnership between jicase and Cummins. That is also where the Cummins engines I'd dodge came from. They were first in tractors and combines.

Yes, just as I also showed above ... that is how the WIX beta ratio info is read.

Yes, always in microns.
No, 2/20 does not mean B2 (Beta 2). Beta 2 = B2 = 50%.
Beta Ratio - Efficiency %
2 - 50.0
5 - 80.0
