Hello all. My first message in this forum, although I used the forum for information before.
I modded my diesel truck to have a different oil filtering system. I am currently using BT8851-MPG filter. When I searched, I saw another filter, BT8850-MPG, has the same diameter, same thread size. It also has "enough" gallon per minutes (20 gph) - this info is from my memory, I can't find the source for this. It has a little better micron rating I think (5 micron vs 8-10 micron).
From the document, it says not a replacement of each other. But I don't know exactly why.
Here's the info I found:

NOT interchangeable with BT8851-MPG.

What would you say why they can't be interchanged?
