Re: Bypass vs. full flow oil filters

You succinctly summarize the pro/con arguments of full vs partial flow filters. I've seen essentially the same discussion on the high performance Pontiac forums.

I am personally an advocate of the full flow system and for those not familiar with same, I have developed and installed same on a couple of Packard V-8s.

One has to ask oneself: If the partial flow systems are so good, why has every manufacturer (who now warranties their engines for 100K+ miles) gone to the full flow design?

The question answers itself.
