6000 is a good base for synthetic, only go more if an oil analysis says it's safe.

You can get a real good filter and not pay a lot for it.
www.fleetfilter.com I'd skip on the cheap brands.

i'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what filter you use in these modern times anymore. or a filter at all for that matter. what are you filtering, really? if your engine is clean then what are you gonna filter out? some .000001 micron - soot?
also, it's too simple to make a good filter. any indian can do it according to bosch. if you are able to make a crap one you'll be kicked out of the market soon enough I'd say. that cotton story seems to stick. how would cotton threads ever get any further than the filter is a mystery to me, or how they could do any damage to the engine anyway, (scratching cylinder walls with cotton?) but app. the turkish made fram is the way to go..

So I see all the numbers above and wonder if we are solely looking at filters for the OM617 ?
I have a Wix 51385 that was in a box of parts (Brand new perfect condition as best I can tell), but I am not sure what it is for. I have Bosch 1 457 429 274 and a MANN PF 1050/1 that are both for my 617, but they look different than the Wix. The wix is also taller by 25-30mm. Any comment?

Set a Hastings filter next the wix filter... See the metal covered section on the hastings? That's the bypass section and it collects the soot from our oil...
