Part number there is a WIX filter that is longer than stock for extra capacity that I used to use, does anyone have the part number I misplaced it?

The AC Delco PF52 filter is the equivalent.
You should be able to cross it to the Wix brand.
It looks like 51036 is the number.

It's not really necessary. I've seen no hard data indicating that filter helps or hurts anything. It's all speculation and conjecture.
Get one if you want, but if you can't find it, the regular filter is fine.

I do run the 51036, and as stated above I probably change oil and filter often enough the extra filtering probably has no filtering advantage.
I personal like it thinking it may help cool the oil because of its size and location. Again no hard evidence my thinking holds any truth.

Look it over close as some of the Wix line isn't made in USA any more.
Wix Oil Filters - Made In USA - Made In China
I know this topic was discussed about a year ago in a similar thread (which I've read through), however despite a couple of people saying they would cut open the USA vs China made Wix filters to determine what the ADBV material was of, I have yet to see that anyone has done this yet. So while...

Why not just use the Baldwin B35-S oil filter made in Nebraska USA.
It has 7 holes for oil to flow as opposed to 6 on the Wix 51036.

Interesting. I've never heard of these Baldwin filters. Looks like it's got an anti drain back... Always used the napa gold 1036 until I heard they switched manufacturing. Now I'm on the wix 51036 as they used to interchange... I'll have to grab a balwin to check out next time I'm in kearney...it's a couple hrs away...

Baldwin filters are great but for those considering purchasing them from Amazon, Ebay, or other unauthorized distributors, watch out for knockoffs https://vicfiltration.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Counterfeit-Product-Identification.pdf
I've used Baldwin and they are great filters made right here in the midwest, but can be a pain to purchase at the normal parts house retailers, they simply don't stock them. In my town luckily I have a parts store that stocks them, so its easy for me.
Baldwin produces alot of filters for large equipment like AG and construction. It may be possible to check with businesses that sell filters for large equipment, they may be a distributor for Baldwin and maybe stock them. If not its likely they can bring them in easily.
