I'm very surprised nobody said anything about the purolator pure one sooner. Fail. Teflon infused poly oring and drainback valve win.

The two constraints that hold engineers to filters are mainly maximum flow and minimum particle size. When creating a filter to handle .01 micron particles, it's hard to allow a lot of fluid flow to pass through per unit time.

With a greater more free flowing filter element, pressure DROP across the filter paper is decreased, which increases your effective oil pressure at its destination.
