Once a season. I also do oil analysis.

Fram's HP Series filters are just for performance and racing use. The spin-on filters can trap very small micron-sized particles that cause most engine wear. All filters have an anti-drainback valve, with a maximum flow rate. The new Fram HP filters now filter down to 18 microns! Brand: Fram Product Line: Fram HP Series Oil Filters Part Type: Oil Filters Part Number: FRM-HP1 Oil Filter Style: Canister Height (in): 5.750 in. Outside Diameter (in): 3.719 in. Filter Bypass Relief Valve: Yes Relief Valve Open (psi): 22 psi Anti-Drainback Valve: Yes Smallest Particle Filtered: 18 microns Maximum Burst Pressure (psi): 500 psi Thread Size: 3/4-16 in. Gasket Outside Diameter (in): 2.813 in. Gasket Inside Diameter (in): 2.422 in. Gasket Thickness (in): 0.328 in. Quantity: Sold individually. |
The dual filtration / bypass oil filtration concept is also used in commercial desil engine applications such as over the road truck industry to allow extended oil change intervals and longer engine life where both savings go straight to the bottom line. They of course use oil analysis extensively as well as coolant, trans fluid, etc analysis which is also proven technology.

Food for thought..
Federal Mogul is a top very large producer of bearings...Porsche' ..BMW...Benz..aircraft....and the list goes on and on. A study completed by Federal Mogul Corp. analyzing over 7000 main and connecting rod bearings concluded that 60% of all engine wear occurs in the 5-20 micron range. These microscopic particles closely match the precision clearances between critical engine components such as bearings and rings. So you need both flow and filtration...how are you going to get both? The question is ...can it be done with a conventional spin on filter in "Racing Applications"? This is a nice set-up.. http://www.nooilchange.com/amsoil/sy...ual-remote.htm |
FYI...The bypass rate of non-racing oil filters is around 16 psi...the racing filters are set at around 20-25 psi.
That's the BIG difference between a "regular" and "Racing Oil Filter" What does this mean? No need to worry. Flow potential is only realized during transitions where the oil pump relief is open. These would be where you are at peak oil pressure. Assuming a sound engine (everything working the way it should) a filter should never effect flow except in very specific (and mostly marginal) conditions. So high volume oil pumps need a high flow filter. Makes sense. Now if you're starting @ -40 ..or full bore @ 7500 rpm...or doing either with a high volume oil pump with too heavy an oil... |
I had a few minutes and went back through a few threads and found most on the board use Wix/Mobil-1/K&N or Amsoil Filters.
A seasonal oil analysis is a good idea from Blackstone Labs. Without getting into a dual bypass set-up add a powerful magnet to the filter..they work well. http://www.filterdotstore.com/ |

Looks similair/comparable to a Wix Racing to me.
The best reviews I've found are on Wix, NAPA Gold and Mobil- 1. Remember.. only 30% of your oil actually gets filtered... the rest bypasses and goes straight for the motor. Gasoline and other things like water condensation etc. in the oil does not get filtered out. So...changing oil frequently is still the most important factor in protecting your investment. |
Hydrocruiser I found this list of Wix #'s ,same as Napa,I ve been buying them from Napa cheaper than from my warehouse that just has wix on the filter, just sticker diff:DAlso Orileys has the but there higher and there paying more for them than Napa, Napa is showing there cost at 9.78 for the 1222r.
http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/racing.asp Ive been running the 1222R I wonder what the differance between it and this one is????? #7003R. If the 2gpm is that much diff http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlook...sp?Part=57003R |
How about the K&N filter??? How/where does it rate in the flow/capture category????
