Re: OIL FILTER EXPERTS It is a good filter if your primary concern is oil flow, however 35 microns is not a very fine filter. The Mobil 1 can filter down to 10 microns, and even the K&N filter, which flows very well, can filter down to 15-18 microns. Even the stock AC Delco is good to 25-30 microns.
You only need so much flow anyways, anything more than that is overkill. The K&Ns already flow 12-16gpm, which I believe is more than the LS1 oil pump flows anyways.
What kind of oil filter is it?

Re: OIL FILTER EXPERTS What are the specs on those ported pumps? You might want to try the K&N oil filters, as they will definitely outflow the Wix premiums, as the K&N has a much better synthetic blend filtering media.

Re: OIL FILTER EXPERTS I don't know what the flow specs are. I know the pressure hangs around 55-60 just driving around warmed up and 45 sitting at idle warmed up. Who carries the K&N oil filters???

Re: OIL FILTER EXPERTS The filter is from a company called Scott's.
the filter is stainless steel (reusable), just clean it and reuse it.
around $100
I believe it is just for motorcycles
thanx for the info Patman

Re: OIL FILTER EXPERTS And the long K&N is the HP2006.
The Ultraguard UPF is a great filter! It filters down to 8 microns. My only problem is that I find the stock sized UPF44 filters to be too small, and they stopped making the UPF58. I think the stock sized filters would be too restrictive and go into bypass more often as a result, especially with cold thick oil.
