Anyone tried a WIX 51391 on FR651?

I don’t think that filter would be a good choice based on the WIX application chart.
What’s wrong with a FRAM TG4967, STP S4967, or Super Tech MP4967?

Hi MParr, my standard go to filter has been a WIX 51394 which is basically the same as you suggestions. The one I asked of is larger OD and length. It is available but normally not in stock, was considering ordering. thanks, Ray

You might can go a little longer. Fitting a larger diameter filter probably won’t work and could result in a oil leak. Sometimes going longer can cause clearance issues. Also, base plate design comes into play. Some filters have a flat base plate. Some have a convex base plate. And, some have a concave base plate. A convex base plate could cause an oil leak. With a convex base plate, the base plate will make contact with the mounting flange before the gasket can compress and seal.
