Re: [BaadAssGremlins] best oil filter for a 390?

["William Renshaw" <lionwren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Personal experience on the Fram filter... I have never had a problem with 
them. But I dont run a high volume/high pressure oil pump. I would amagine 
that with a high volume/pressure pump you may crush one of em'. Suck em dry 
and just about any filter will crush, with a high pressure pump. Baffles in 
the oil pan will help solve some of the problems associated with crushing 
oil filters, so will a crank scraper to clean off excessive oil from the 
crank and keep the oil in the pan where it belongs. When you launch off the 
liine you may pull up to 3 or 4 positive G's and all the oil goes to the 
back of the pan. If that where your pick up is you are pretty much safe. But 
if its in the front of the pan you will suck a filter dry. Just the opposite 
will happen when you hit the skids at the end of the run. Never had any 
problem with a Fram oil filter. They always get changed at 3000 miles 
anyway. Thats one of the reasons my daily driver has 295,000 + miles on it 
and still runs good. Still get 32 in town and 38 on the highway.
