I also use Wix.  I get them at O'reillys.  You have to ask for them because they keep them in the back and not on display.

do you clean your oil filter at every oil change...if you do, it seems like cleaning it would take some time.  Glad you like it.... it looks good too!

Yes and the answer is 51515, easy to remember :bigsmile:
Does this one work with the 440?  I went through Oreilly's and it gave me part #51068.  It looks like they are similar, but the 51515 is longer.  Any advantage/disadvantage?

Got this off Moparts.....

Wix part #'s


#51068 shorter/stubby version of the 51515

#51515 normal/standard Big or Small block 1qt oil filter, street version filters to about 20 microns, and has a bypass

#51515R Race Filter, full flow race filter--no bypass, filters to about 60 micons, very high burst pressure

#51806: A heavy-duty 51515 with a built-in standpipe to keep the filter positively full of oil after shutdown in base-down mounting situations (slant-6, for example). These also greatly reduce oil spillage when removing a base-down filter at oil change time, see here and here for more info

#51773: An extra-long 51515 if you want your filter to hold two quarts of oil and have the space for it

#51076: Heavy-duty replacement filter element for factory optional taxi/fleet/police replaceable-cartridge oil filter

#51085:"Super Shorty" Mopar oil filter, 3.79" tall (the 51068 is 4.338" tall, the 51515 and 51806 are 5.18" tall, and the 51773 is just barely shy of 7" tall)

#57899: Oil Filter New Hemi Challenger 08-10 - 5.7 , 6.1 hemi
#42843 Air Filter New Hemi Challenger 08-10 - 5.7 , 6.1 hemi
#58845 Trans Filter Auto New Hemi Challenger 08-10 - 5.7 , 6.1 hemi

Cool video  :thumbsup:

Just a (positive) note, the "orange" anti-drainback valve on the NAPA Gold is made of silicone, while the black one in the "standard" filter is rubber.   The silicone valve does not "warp" with heat so it is not prone to leakage  :)

Yeah, the good oil filters will have metal end-caps, silicone anti-drainback valves, and large(r) filter size with high pleat count. If you don't mind not having a bypass, Royal Purple isn't bad either.
Oh and that video was epic^-^
The Mobil 1 part# for BB is M1-301. There is also a youtube video about this exact filter.
