@OnTheReel Would you mind taking a few minutes to view and comment on this video?It was my pleasure. Had a lot of fun with it along the way.
They are doing a pretty good job with these tests, especially compared to their earlier attempts. To actually test filter efficiency like the manufacturers is very expensive and requires particle counters inline before and after the filter.
Is the Amsoil filter no good??
Idk, never ran it. But it is twice the price and seems to have the same build and efficiencies as the higher end fram filters
Any of the three would be a great choice honestly. The FS2 and XG2 are basically the same filter and have performed absolutely great in my particle count testing.
The Napa Golds I reviewed a year or two ago were just relabeled standard Wix filters, no difference at all. Recently some Napa Golds are now being made in China, but not sure if our application is one of them.
Got it, quick question I went to Fram's website and put in my Vehicle specifics and the E2, FS2 , OR XG2 do not come up as working on the Jeep 392's. It list the XG10060 and FS10060 as compatible filters. Thanks again for all of this, really interesting thread!
The 10060 is the small/short bodied filter. Usually goes on the 5.7 Rams with EPS, and other smaller Chrysler engines. From what I’ve seen the 392 uses the full sized filter (MO-899) from the factory. If so, the FS2/XG2 would be correct, not the 10060.
Good to know, thanks!
They do good work. Polaris is the lab used for the tests sold on Amsoil’s site. They also do a lot of fleet and OE work. I definitely trust their data more than Blackstone.
That's good to hear, I just found out my company uses them and I get the sample kit for $14. Changing my oil tonight at 2300 miles on the PUP, and switching to amsoil. Going to take a sample and send it in this time and next time to get a comparison
Please do share. I have collected probably close to 50 samples between my truck and others who have shared (across the Hellcat engine platform, not just TRX).
Will do. At $14 a sample, i might do one every oil change, or atleast every other one if they come back ok. Probably going to extend my oil changes out to 4,000, then maybe 5,000 with the amsoil if the results show its ok. Running 2,500-3,000 mile intervals with the PUP has me changing oil every other month just about(86 miles round trip, about 78 of those on highway)
They only allowed me to get 2, I can't buy them in bulk. I wanted 10 so I could have them on hand for the yearPlease share with everyone for $14 a test
