I just did my 20K mi OC and used a new/leftover yzzf2 and again, It was defective and I had to take it off. Good thing I had hastings laying around. Put that on and all was good again. No oil flow through the yzzf2. T-Chain starts grinding and tappets start a shower of tappet noise. Almost sounds like and exhaust plug and fizz leak. Never had noise problems with the wix. 51394/96. Big problems wiith these asian filters - must be the paper is over resin doped or wrong sieve on the paper. Beware there are exact replica chinese copies around - even the security hologram sticker is duped.

From thread start to hand tight, the PureOne filter was a little more than 2 3/4 turns; just shy of 3 full turns for the Amsoil Ea filter that was on there. |

IDK for sure, but I think it was Advanced Auto, or Parts+ ?? that had a good deal on Castrol Syntec with filter ($25.00/5qts w/ K&N oil filter) It's here somewhere, don't know how long that sale was for. Another poster posted it. |

My car must have a short nipple on the filter bracket. Although I didnt try a pure one. How's that PP running?

I don't know if it's the PP or the PureOne, or both, but the engine is so quiet now I almost thought it was all in my head. I drove all the way home with the radio off so I could get a good listen--it is quieter during shifts and while pulling into the garage; that's when I'd notice the most noise, when clutching/revving while slowly pulling into the crowded garage. PP and PureOne is the best combo I've used so far.

Its crazy but alll these little things make a difference! I think the purolator prem + / royal purple gave the best 4000-6000 power, and the wix/motul 5-30 gave the best 1500-3500. Must have something to do with oil viscosity and flow restriction in the filter, though the bypass must be open at WOT at 5000+rpm.

I switched to Pennzoil Platinum and a Wix 51394 filter at the same time. I like how they put the flow rates and particle filtration information up on their website, not too many filter companies do that.
I was interested in the EA009 from AMSOIL, but couldn't find it in Toronto. Oh well, saved a couple of bucks. |

I use to like WIX until I saw a cut-away of one: high quality and cool looking bypass valve, but very small filter media because of the large size of the bp valve.

Agreed. I'm wondering if the NAPA "pro select" (not gold) uses a different bypass arrangement. I got one on there now - but I have a Purolaotor-made Bosch going on next. Ist you still loving the Pennzoil Platinum? I was thinking that or Mobil1 AFE 0w-30, it has a good additive package according to virgin oil analyses I read, and its on sale at wallyworld right now for about $22/5qt
