Local refinery lab (SUNOCO) did some flow & filtering tests on spin-on automotive filters. Friend of mine was working on that. He tested one of my 1061 NAPA filters, made by Wix. Also a Wix from another source. Wix/NAPA trapped smaller particles & less flow restriction. The #t1061 has no internal bypass. It ALL goes through the filter element.

That is what NAPA oil filters are, WIX. NAPA parts stores are everywhere. Unless you just like to order things.

Actually, they are a little worse filtration. But they let more oil thru, because they have less restriction. That's why Wix does not recommend them for street cars. Back years ago,I remember reading Wix developed those filters for the Bush series cars that were not allowed dry sump oiling systems. The Winston Cup cars were running dry sumps, but the Bush cars still mandated spin on stock type filters .
