They didn't it is still a ? mark.
The only thing i can think of is it may of been in there from past history before i owned the car.
The Canton inline scavenge filter i have is made for the suction side of a dry sump and would not be restricting the screen element is much like the screen on a sump. The problem with the stock filter and the stock engine thermostat as i understand is they have an oil bypass so the oil is not always getting filtered, so if i added the Cantan canister filter in the pressure side out of the engine i would be assured that
all the oil is getting filtered all of the time.
As I understand it, the only time a proper filter will bypass is if it is clogged. Regular replacement will keep that from happening....unless the bearings & other implements
self destruct, then it becomes moot.
That said, another filter won't hurt either....unless it becomes clogged.
