Reusable oil filter

For anyone who has never had filter collapse(spelling) the most usual sympton is oil pressure drops to about half of what engine normally holds then if you bring rpm up it goes to zero.
If using throw away use racing or hp type

Moroso makes a screen that lays in top of filter (chevrolet) there's another company that makes some for other applications can't think of brand name, but these screens work really well for keeping eye on engine without cutting filter apart.

They will show particles of stuff you will never see by cutting filter apart and inspecting,if you've ever used O'berg style filter they are like that, but just lay in top of spin on filter.

Wix has a good reputation, and the 51258 that I use has a 19 micron filtration rating, 345 psi burst strength. What degree of filtration do the cleanable filters have?

I've been using these,almost exclusively since the early 70's.I've never had a an oiling issue.But then I've never owned one of those big money,high compression,high horsepower racing doohickey motors.
Also almost always used Pennzoil oil since before then.
