for a Wix. Pressure was steady and consistent. At the next change put a Fram
on, with a new Wix on hand. Experienced same pressure problems as with the
previous Fram. Put the Wix on and everything is good.

strength that they react differently dependent on oil temp./pressure?
I make no claim to be an expert. Just relating my personal experience.
