Wix XP gave a nice pressure boost...about 10 PSI
Pros: nice pressure boost
Wix xp after watching project farms videos on filters. Historically have used all sorts of filters and never had an engine failure. Use full synthetic and change every 5k miles for twenty five years without any problems.
Pros: no engine failure
Mileage: 8000 km
I saw 10 psi more oil pressure across the board from switching to a WIX XP filter. Did this now on all my cars and have the same results. Pretty phenomenal. I used to idle at 20psi like you and now I idle at 30.
Pros: 10 psi more
What kind of oil filter are you running? My LQ4 was always 40 at idle when warm, about 50 to 60 cruising. I started using AC Delco filters and ended up just under 40 at cruise and 20 hot at idle like you have. Went to a Wix at my next oil change and got the original pressure back. The Delco filter was restricting pressure. No problems since with Wix
Pros: original pressure back
Cons: restricting pressure
What kind of oil filters are you using? Ac delco filters caused similar oil pressure on mine, switched to wix and now it always has like 45psi at hot idle, and around 60 at cold start.
Pros: higher oil pressure
Cons: lower oil pressure
So every couple of years I do a mass oil filter purchase for my evo. I've always bought Wix oil filters, and every single time I order from Rockauto, they come in a black box, with an original black Wix body. Well this time, I just got some white NAPA ProSelect filters instead of actual Wix ones. From my research the Proselect is not on the same level as the Wix filters.
Cons: Proselect not on same level
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi
I wouldn’t worry about who does the service. Just don’t use shitty Filters. Use OEM or Wix.
Pros: use OEM or Wix
Cons: don't use shitty filters
I used the WIX as it looked like it matched the dealer installed filter better. It also has internal O rings that seem to seal it better on the shaft.
Pros: matches dealer filter, better internal O-rings, seals better
For filters I have never been done wrong by wix. Price is right and the quality is there. I converted my hilux to use wix 51515 filters because I was sick of ordering them from australia for $40 each, and definitely not buying the $80 one I could get locally. Now my filters cost me like $7. Will pay for the cost of the conversion in a couple years of oil changes.
Pros: right price, good quality, never failed
Vehicle:
Toyota Hilux Surf
Part number: 51515
