Thanks for that info !
I run 2 to 3000 miles pre year with oil changes at 1500,overkill maybe.I'll ask the WIX tech what he thinks about that.
I was having issues with other filters seeping at the gasket where the filter meets my oil cooler adapter(stock Boss item),and running a Melling HV pump.
Thought other filters might be causing restriction and excess pressure at that point.Anyway,to make a long story longer it turned out to be a porous castingwhich I then painted with glyptal.Problem seems to have gone away.
