Best oil filters to help with oil pressure?

thefrey · Feb 22, 2025

2013 Yukon 6.2L 199k miles. Recently new to me - installed a new oil pressure switch and changed the oil

I have noticed low(er) oil pressures - maybe within spec but would prefer to be higher. About 15psi idle and 25 crusing hot. I installed a Fram Ultimate filter and have seen that sometimes different filters will affect your oil pressures.

Does anyone have any recommendations for oil filters that will help with oil pressure?

None will HELP with oil pressure.. That's a mechanical situation ...
I use the wix oil filters on my 14 6.2L
57060 or 57045 using the XP line is up to you.
Make sure you are using correct 5w30 Full Synth Oil

@swathdiver may have a suggestion or two for how oil filters affect the oil pressure, and recommendations for a filter.

did you have low pressure before working on it?

that's supposed to be a good filter you have in there.

@thefrey Wix and/or NAPA oil filters flow well, aka rock catchers.

Get a WIX and ditch that Fram

K&N HP2011 flows 960 gallons per hour while the best Wix flows 660 gallons per hour.

I’ve always used k&n filters no issue

if you want to see if it's the filter. you could. always try these and put a mechanical gauge on it. no filter, no flow loss.
