Looks similair to the System one brand. I ran a System 1 on my 928 for 13 yrs. It worked fine. There were 2 different micron filter elements. one for all out race motors and one that was better suited to street cars with a lower micron value.

Interesting.
They claim that oil never breaks down or wears out and therefore never needs changing, just cleaning. But... they advertise a 29.95 fancy drain plug replacement. Why would you need that if their other claims were true? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I think its better than a stock filter if you have ever opened one up you will be shocked by how little thay do even the big named companys.
I have always used this type on rece motors and it really shows when you open up the motor. Try CM racing see what thay offer. Attached image(s) |

Lee,
your oil only gets filtered after it warms up? or it gets filtered an extra time when the thermo opens? |

I would need more info than they give.( from a disinterested third party) . Who said " Build a better mouse trap ( or oil filter) a they will beat a path to your door. Looks as if that path isn't very deep at this time. This is not to say that there isn't a lot of room for improvment in oil filters as we know them now. Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

While we are on the subject, Has anyone used Mecca oil filters? I got one a long time ago. I stopped using it when I ran out of filters. I was never really sure if it was a good thing or not.
