Oil Filter Update

Wix is 7-19 microns nominal (50% efficient) depending on the filter.. per their website....
Pure-1 is a generally well regarded filter too by the way.

Hydro, just curious, have you heard anything about the system 1 re-usable filters? I'm considering using one as a pre filter in front of an amsoil filter. Would you consider using one as the only filter for your engine?

Looks like they are high flow ..high performance filters available in..30/45/75 micron ratings.
As a Racing or prefilter I can see the logic...or on an engine that is so very hopped up that it needs this or something like a Wix Racing. Some engines just do....
What engines do you have?

A rather mild hydraulic roller 540, about 625 h.p. I was told by the builder that the system 1 was nice because it can easily be inspected for any debris from a bearing failure. You never have to by a filter again, since it is easily cleaned and reused.

system 1 is the ultimate as far as water separating fuel filters go.
