Just completed an oil change and used the last of my stock of wIX 51515 filters, they seem to be a challenge to source now.
What does anyone else use on remote filter set ups.

Know what you mean try eBay 222023228715
 

Thanks , I'll give them a look. Is it me or is £15-£20 for an oil filter a bit extreme, even for these strange days ( Doors 1967, great album  )

There is a comparison chart on interweb
But you know what ur getting with the wix filter. How much is an engine ? Puts it into perspective

That's very true. Avoid Fram like the plague 

never had a problem with the fram hp1  on 2 engines     anyone running a system one filter

The Fram is that crap you are just better with the standard wire gauze in the sump   IMHO but you can see for yourself on youtube

Alot of pennies for cardboard 

If you've got a local motor factor that's part of the Alliance group they have switched from Wix filters to Napa ones, same filters made in the same factory, just different numbers and colours.

I believe Napa 1515 is the one that you need.

Top tip.

Thanks for that

Get your local commercial factor to order a Baldwin B2 if you can, I've used them for years on Caterpillar applications and they're top quality and reasonably priced.

And 1/3 price of equivalent WIX.

Spot on .

Thanks

Hi Hudge how you doing hope you're good ?   I know you and many others have a big downer on the Fram filters but that cardboard filter catchers 94% at 20 microns and has a higher flow than any other filter on the market 10 to 18 gal p/min,  the internal cardboard/paper filter is rated at a max of 200 psi,  the wix 51515 is rated at 21 microns and a flow rate of 7 to 9 gal p/min. Lets face it when you first start up from cold the internal bypass in the filter will probably open and let all sorts through anyway. If you do manage to blow that paper interior apart in the fram HP1, I would suggest you already have a problem with your engine, like too large an oil pump, - restricted oil flow through the galleries or oil cooler ,  faulty oil pressure relief valve, or on a duel relief case the 2nd oil relief valve is not opening to bypass the the oil cooler when the engine is cold and the oil is thick or maybe even a combination of these.
Don't confuse the HP1 racing filter with the standard crap filters that Fram make, The racing filter is made to a different spec.   I know i'm not going to change your mind and wouldn't want to,   everyone has their preference for make and spec of parts they use, just like some people swear by Bosch spark plugs others NGK and I like AC Delco plugs that were made in the 70's.   
No criticisms of anyone just my 10 penneth of thoughts

All good our end   valid comments Paul and i wasn't aware of the racing filter .if you have seen the comparison videos on YouTube you can understand how i'm so anti fram.
Anyway hope you and yours are well. Im off to Italy tomorrow be about 3500 miles ho hum😎

You'll have to change the oil when you get their 

All the best mate

Italy should have gone a week earlier and done IBW on the way over the Alps
