Agreed
I'm not a huge fan of these tiny filters either but they seem to do a pretty good job. I'm surprised they put that small of a filter on a V8. Anything bigger we can put on this thing? filter is vertical and has a ton of room all the way around it.Same filter called for our 08 Malibu LTZ 3.6 and our 17 Buick Regal GS 2.0T, hate those minuscule filters.
The XG10575 is taller, fits OK, but has a higher bypass (22 PSI). I have one on the Express in my sig (actually a Purolator One PL22500) to run short intervals with HPL EC 30, it’s still getting carbon & carbon dust in the filter. RGT is cleaning some, but HPL+RGT is going to clean even faster!
A higher bypass setting won't hurt.
I'm going to find out...
That’s probably correct except if you are in Edmonton when it’s 40 below and your oil pump spring starts dumping oil back to the pan because your oil filter bypass doesn’t want to open.
if you r oil pump can’t make 22 PSI… prolly time for a rebuild.That’s probably correct except if you are in Edmonton when it’s 40 below and your oil pump spring starts dumping oil back to the pan because your oil filter bypass doesn’t want to open.
In the case of a pre 2014 Chevy LS engine the pump will produce somewhere around 40 psi. If the cold oil causes a restriction at the filter, and the bypass will not open until it gets to 22 psi differential ( 62 psi measured at the pump), the spring loaded relief valve will open up and dump oil back into the pan.
It really depends on how the filter flows, meaning its actual dP vs flow curve, and as the oil viscosity changes. Just because a filter has a high set bypass valve doesn't automatically mean it has a really high dP vs flow curve. The bypass valve could also be set higher to ensure less bypassing at really cold temperatures when the oil is very thick.That’s probably correct except if you are in Edmonton when it’s 40 below and your oil pump spring starts dumping oil back to the pan because your oil filter bypass doesn’t want to open.
LS pumps (or similar pumps) with a spring loaded pressure relief valve will still be building some oil pressure after the relief valve starts opening if the oil is thick and the revs are higher. If you revved the engine pretty high with cold oil, you'll see higher than 62 PSI on the dash pressure gauge. There were some good LS oil pump discussions a while back in a few other threads.
If people are doing cold start-ups at 40 below without a sump/block heater, the oil W rating they use will probably have more of an impact than the choice between two filters with a maximum of 8-10 PSI difference in the bypass valve setting. Even if a filter with a higher bypass setting that causes the pump to cut back a little more flow, there will most likely still be enough flow to lubricate the engine. There are literally millions of vehicles being started up in those cold environments, and they all have filters with different bypass valve settings. If someone is concerned about the bypass setting, then only use filters that are specified for their engine.So in the end go ahead go ahead and run 10575 instead of a 10060 but if you are thinking it will improve the longevity of your engine don’t be doing cold starts in Edmonton, or the depth of inland Alaska or in Minneapolis.
Agree. The bypass in the 10575 was specifically changed for the 2014 and up Chevy LS engines with the variable flow oil pumps.
