Re: '54 oil filtration question...

Was just reading an article about Ford flatheads and the fellow said that with the bypass filter all of the oil was filtered every five minutes or so at road speed. I expect Packard will be somewhat similar--in other words the engine is pretty well protected unless it has started throwing chunks. Even then, the floating pickup helps keep them at bay.

The next oil change on the thousanddollarwonder I will check to see how long it takes for the filter to pass a quart and report back.
