Reading that article, I’m not understanding the pressure drop...when using the Jomar filter, at an 8 lb pressure drop, is that 8 lbs less of total engine oil pressure?
I never worried about measuring anyone else's filters in relation to pressure drop. Filters either filter all the oil all the time or bypass some. I simply want all my oil filtered all the time.
I had a valve train instability issue a few years back. All the needle bearinga & cages on my intake valve rockers disintegrated and went into the motor and pan. Not one spec of them went into the oil passages. My bearings were still like new. The filter caught all of it. I believe that would not have been the case with a bypass style oil filter.
