Example, Wix 51515R is a racing filter but only filters 60 microns. The Wix 51515 filters down to 20 microns.
Roush site for my 402 engine calls for the Motocraft FL1-HP or equivalent. This filter is a 20 micron filter.
Be aware of how you are going to use your car and what type of filtering you want to avoid unnecessary engine wear. |
It was a while ago but I believe I bought a wix filter and it was too tall. It didnt clear the cross member. I have a 460. Make sure you measure the height of your filter to ensure it will clear. I have been using a FL1HP, didnt realize they were getting bad press...
