Not positive but I think that the Napa gold filters are made by Wix
Maybe $25. Hardest part to find was the m16-1.5 to 1/4 NTP adaptor. With out waiting several days to order one, I ended up at our local wrecking yard and pulled the oil passage plug from a junk block. Then drilled and tapped it for 1/8 NTP. The sprayer bottle didn’t need much. Just the air hose fitting and 1/4 inch hose routed to the bottom of the bottle.
Had you done anything previous to this that would of upped the stock oil flow?
No. I have put close to 18 k on the truck before the filter issue. The pump shim was suggested by a trusted engine builder. Not much different than Melling selling a pump with two different oil pressure springs.
Brother, the pictures you post earlier sure look more like filter debris than fuzz from a rag unless you aren't meticulous with cleaning. Wouldn't expect Fram to admit fault anyway
I like to think I am very particular about being clean. I do remember rinsing the short block with diesel just for this kind of thing. Either way, once all the parts arrive it goes back together.
