New Wix filter for Subaru Applications - 23 psi's

Not open for further replies.
Just completed an oil change on my 2012 Legacy 2.5i using the ProSelect 27712. I thought the blue Subaru Honeywell filter was small. The 27712 is quite a bit shorter yet! You have to stuff your hand way up the Subaru (heat shield) hole to get that sucker threaded on! I'm going to have a hard time going 7500mi with a filter that tiny.

I also cut open the used blue Subaru filter. The pleats were much more even than they were on the factory filter per the thread & pics I had posted on it some months ago. I may stick with the Subaru filters after this one just based on the media size difference.

What's the bypass valve spec on that ProSelect 27712 ... still 23 PSI?

That's what I'm guessing, based on the Napa 7712 specs I've seen.

From Napaonline:

Oil Filter (ProSelect)
Part Number: SFI 27712

Composite Media, Nitrile Rubber Anti-Drain Back Valve, Standard Center Tube, Meets Engine Manufacturers Requirements, Has 23 LB By-Pass Relief Valve Setting

It's funny really. You can make that bypass pressure as high as you want. Just make the media area smaller so it can handle a higher dP across it than a large area could.

I'm more impressed that the blue Honeywell made Subaru filters can manage the 23psig bypass with the much larger, fiber end-caped media.

So it looks like I should stick with the idea of running a M1-110 which is basically a longer M1-108, which is the old filter with a lower bypass.

If the filter area is smaller than I certainly will not be able to run a long FCI.

Super good info.
 
Not enough media IMO. And with the pro select media.... not a good combo for high PSI.
 
To bad, but I think a Baldwin B202 is to big to fit on a Subaru. That is one large filter that I run on my S2000. 3 11/16" X 5 3/8"

By the way, what is difference:
M20x1.5 and M20x1.5-H6 ?
(Some filter has M20x1.5, some filter has M20x1.5-H6)
 
I think "H6" is a spec on how the M20x1.5 threads are shaped when cut (ie, how "tight" the threads fit together when assembled). Both are M20x1.5 threads (20 mm diameter with 1.5 mm thread pitch).

OEM has higher bi-pass of 23 and the Fram Ultra is in the 9 - 15 range with a less restrictive synthetic media.


Does FRAM specify that filter for your car? If so, I'd say it's OK to run. The bypass pressure setting is probably lower because of the synthetic media which flow better and has less delta-p.
 
Fram specifically recommended the XG9688 for my application. Have a few more OEM to use up before trying the Ultra.
