Re: '54 oil filtration question...

Engine wear is the result of constant engine speed changes and heating and cooling cycles, especialy under hi demand and engine temerature running to cold or too hot.
THe more frequent the engine speed changes and the more frequesnt the heating and cooling cycles and demand placed on an engine before reaching operating temperature the more the wear will take place and fastest in time and service miles.

Revving and engine (while in nuetral) is a major wear promoter too. Especialy cold.

The discussion of particle size:
So how does the partial flow filter compare to the full flow filter in terms of microns????? i.e. if the full-flow filters the oil, RELATIVE to PArTICLE SIZE, no better than the partial-flow filters the oil then partial flow vs full flow arguments are meaningless.

Or to put it another way:
If the full-flow lets the same small particles pass thru it that the partial flow allows to pass thru then partial vs full is meaningless.
