I'm no expert but that is what I use based on reading. I think your pump will be able to move a higher volume of oil with less effort. Win win there.

Wix 51515 is Burst Pressure rated @ 290 PSI: Part Details

Ford / Motorcraft FL-1A is supposedly rated for a burst pressure of 200 PSI: https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forum...Number=1814632

OTOH, a different source lists different #s (hey, it's the Internet, right?):
FL1A, 300 psi burst rating on the canister.
FL1HP 600 psi burst rating canister.
Ford Mustang Forums : Corral.net Mustang Forum - View Single Post - FL1A Vs. FL1HP?

FWIW, I just checked and there is no burst pressure listed on the FL-1A filters and packaging in my garage.
