Oil Filter Technology

Yes, they can be too restrictive. There's also the type of media used, and the design, as it relates to integrity. There have been problems with internal failures.


Look up Lake Speed Jr., he just did an oil filter article. He's pretty good.

I have been using system one for about 20 years. In my opinion best thing out there. Never use a cheap automotive filter on your race engine.

I don't know sometime since the stone age...

Mike, What micron rating do you use? Remote filter or canister?

I am not sure on the micron rating of the element. I do know when I pre-fill the filter it fills right up to the top without stopping with 30w oil. It is a canister filter that goes right where the original filter goes. Not remote.
They have several different filter elements with different micron ratings. I would guess mine is the least restrictive. good long lasting product. Very easy to clean and inspect.
