Jeep 4.0 Oil Filter Upgrade

Thanks for the note. At least in the future, you can use one if the other is not available.

They both tend to cost pretty much the same (within a few pennies). Might as well slap the bigger one on there right?

The outside of the filter mean nothing about his capabilities of filtering. Subject has been debunk multiple times on YT.

Links? Channels names? Any proof for the claim that filter size does not improve filtering effectiveness or filter longevity?

@@PatsCarGarage Now he's just got me curious on what changes with different oil filter sizes.

@@kingnull2697 it's probably more to do with filter brand. A good brand filter will have a higher pleat count for more surface area (and possibly tighter woven filter media to catch smaller contaminants). Given the same pleat count, the additional height of the taller filter will allow for more capacity until the filter is clogged since you get more surface area from that extra capacity.
