Oil filter comparison

[hardhat]

So after watching Youtube videos and it being clear as mud, I decided to buy a bunch of 392 oil filters, cut them apart and take a look.
I like the Fram XG10060 or Wix 57060XP (in small 339 form factor) or Wix 57899XP (in large 899/041 form factor).

Wix 57899XP is winner for me. I could not find a Mopar 041 to dissect. I did not do any editing on video, so it is not very good from cinematography standpoint. I had phone in 1 hand and filters in other. If anyone has any questions, I'll answer them if I can..

Not hating on oil filters, except maybe the Fram TG10060, just putting some info out there if folks want to make a little more of an informed decision on what filter to get.
I was surprised that the some of the aftermarket filters were much nicer than the oem filter.

That was very helpful sir. I wonder if my dealership will install a Wix 57899XP if I bring it in during my first "free" Jeep Wave oil change? I know I will insist on Pennzoil Ultra 0W-40 that is listed in the manual. If not then they can keep their free oil change and I do it correctly myself.

Again, thank you for taking the time (and $) to do all that, and share your results.

Thank you so much @hardhat for making the comparison! I’ll follow your recommendation and will use Wix 57899XP or Fram XG10060 in my 392

Thanks Hardhat! I too will use the Wix 57899 XP. Any thoughts on oil brands?

Any thoughts on oil brands?

The only 0W-40 I have seen is Penzoil and Mobil 1. I don't believe Mobil 1 has the FCA certification.

Ordered a case of Wix 57899XP filters today from Rock Auto.

I’m just sticking with the factory recommended Pennzoil

This is very interesting. I saw the episode on Engine Masters. I use Napa filters which are made by Wix.

Been a believer in wix filters for a long time. Use them on my 3.6 jeep and my old hot rod.

Here is the Mopar 041 filter cut open. It does not have the synthetic media. It is just cardboard. Appears to be a rubber anti-drain back valve but it does have the coil spring. My money is still on the wix XP version of the 899

For those using a larger diameter oil filter (changed mine to a SRT MO-041), here's an updated oil filter comparison from the TRX forum:

Wow thanks nice job appreciate the expense and time you put into this experiment

I'm also a fan of the WIX filters. One of the major reasons is they actually are willing to provide fiter efficiency data for their products. What I learned from them is below.
TLDR: The XP filters, while I like their construction and materials better, have lower filtration efficiency due to their support of extended oil change intervals.

********** Email to WIX product support *************
Question/Request: My vehicle (2021 - JEEP - WRANGLER 392) uses a 57060 or 57060XP oil filter.

On RockAuto.com, where I often purchase my WIX filters, the 57060 is listed of having a filtration Beta Ratio of 2/20=6/20, which if I understand correctly would indicate 95% filtration of particles 20u or larger.

While I like the construction of the XP filters, I've been unable to find any filtration data for the XP version of the 57060 filter to guide my choice is selecting the filter.

I would prefer to use whichever version of the 57060 that has the smaller micron rating.

Thank you,
Tim

Tim,
The XP filters are always higher,,,95% at 35 microns. For extended service intervals.
Thank you,

How much does that actually matter? Dunno.
But based on their response I repurposed my 57060XP filters to my GM 3.6L (which uses the same filter) and re-ordered non-XP filters for the 392. Because I love my 392 more

I started buying wix air filters for my 05 LJ as side by side comparison with Mopar filters the wix had ,many more pleats than the Mopar . But for now I will stick with Mopar for the 392 and just change more often
