What is the best large Oil Filter ?
What's the best 2 quart oil filter for big ci offshore engines?
Wix 51222R Flows 28 GPM Micron ?? Bypass 18-22psi
Wix 57003R Flows 30 GPM Micron?? Bypass 18-22psi
K&N 5001 Flows 16 GPM Micron 10 Bypass 11-17psi
Fram HP6A Flows 20 GPM Micron 12 Bypass 22psi
Baldwin is my first choice, but they do not offer a large racing filter. Wix would be my second choice, but I'm discouraged the factory does not even know the micron rating? Wix rep said it might be 40-60 micron, but not sure???
I've always avoided Fram like the plaque in the past, but the "newer" HP6A looks to be improved and decent.
None of the larger filters have anti-drainback valves.....So who wins the filter race?
