Looks to be a longer version of an 820. Looks like it will hold a full Qt of oil.

I threw a Napa Gold 7502 for the most recent change. Made a heck of a rookie mess taking the old one off too. Jeez.

if you mean getting oil all over the large wiring harness, and the rest.

Here is a trick I read on the forum, use tin foil to cover the area. Tin foil works best because you can mash it around stuff and it stays.

Seeing the situation, the first time I used a plastic bag, sort of worked, tin foil better stays in place.

WIX 57502 is same filter as the NAPA, that gold paint not worth the extra $$

Question and not hating on anybody

Why not stick with the OEM or the FP oil filter?

I 've used WIX for a long time, including the Mustang 4 cars, sourced many places .

Because oil capacity. When you run them hard more is better if you can keep it off the crank.

Because it meets the specs and some aftermarket filters might cause oil pressure issues. Saw it with Nissan and Kia/Hyundai engines.

It might snow tomorrow also, what spec, flows oil, filters oils, must have a bypass... what other spec ?

Now the Fram is known for failing.. This is a stupid argument anyway.

Was asked about the WIX, NAPA a WIX filter painted NAPA logo.

My question was a general one. It was not to put you or anybody on the spot.
