Since I don't have this setup I'm using a Moroso Racing filter (27 microns) in an effort to get improved flow without the down side of a typical 60 micron racing filter.

Ok Bob, I am going to poke the fire a bit here.
If the filters are fed in parallel, the filter with the larger micron element would require less
oil pressure to push through the filter.
Now the smaller micron filter will require a higher pressure to push the
oil through.
Unless there is some type of restrictor or regulator involved, what prevents virtually all the oil from taking the path of least resistance?
I know at some point in time, the larger micron filter will require a higher amount of pressure and then the smaller micron filter would start getting an equal to or higher than percentage of the oil flow.
What am I missing? Or is that the way it is supposed to work?
