Good combo.M1 EP and FRAM ENDURANCE since it’s wire reinforced. Ultra isn’t anymore.
Yes to the first question, no to the second. Fram Endurance is 99% at 20 microns, the Wix XP is effectively 62% or something like that at 20 microns. Search @ZeeOSix posts on it.What about Fram Endurance, which is 99% @ 20μ
List of oil filters with 99% efficiency at 20 microns.
Maybe some guys like running (and do run) an Ultra for two 10K OCIs, or three 6-7K OCIs, or four 5K OCIs ... more than one way to use an oil filter to it's max potential. Cuts the cost per OCI of the filter down too. Would love to know the statistics of multiple filter users versus single--not...bobistheoilguy.com
Also, you wouldn't consider Wix XP?
If you have significant leaks, fix the leak. If you don’t fix the leak, don’t even bother using M1EP or other top-tier oils, waste of money. Use Valvoline MaxLife in a grade heavier than what is called for, so at least a 5w30.Honda Civic EX 1999, has about 160k, and this one is leaking motor oil from gaskets. So I am here asking for your collective wisdom on what could reduce the leaks, a motor oil with the extended mileage claim, or an additive that could work?
Toyota Camry 2011, it has about 25k, and Ford Explorer 2010, but it has 230k and is also leaking oil.
Yes, very much appreciate this heads-up,
would leaving it idle for 30 mins do the trick or it does need to be driven?
Thank you, I saw some youtube tear downs of Fram Ultra/Endurance and some comments mentioned restricted flow, and drop in pressure from Fram until they switched to Wix.Yes to the first question, no to the second.

Most people on YouTube don't understand oil filters or engine oiling systems. Fram Ultra is not flow restrictive - Ascent's testing results posted in this forum proves that. And I'd bet the Endurance isn't very flow restictive either. When talking about engines and a positive displacement oil pump, the flow is not restricted (meaning the flow in not reduced), but instead the oil pump just puts out a little more pressure to force the same volume through the system.Thank you, I saw some youtube tear downs of Fram Ultra/Endurance and some comments mentioned restricted flow, and drop in pressure from Fram until they switched to Wix.
Have you seen this?
What?? So the FE is essentially the new Frame Ultra? Do you know about when they made the swap?M1 EP and FRAM ENDURANCE since it’s wire reinforced. Ultra isn’t anymore.
An oil filter can be high efficiency and flow very well, which means low delta-p across the filter. Just because a filter is lower efficiency doesn't make it less restrictive to flow. Oil filter efficiency is more complicated than that. That lower efficiency filter may actually be more flow restrictive. But the oil pump should be able to overcome that and still flow the same volume. That's the beauty of a positive displacement ( PD) oil pump, and why they are used on engines.I’m considering stepping down to a middle of the road, oil filter with better Flow and a slight decrease in filtration.
Search this forum, there's a bunch of threads about it when it came out not too long ago.What?? So the FE is essentially the new Frame Ultra? Do you know about when they made the swap?
Thank you for your insights. I found his video, M1, and then Fram and your comments that there is only a 1 psi difference in restrictiveness. He did not test Wix XP though. So which filter would you or you already use?Most people on YouTube don't understand oil filters or engine oiling systems.
