What no one has mentioned are
oil pressures. If your cold OP is north of, say 60-65psi, then you should be looking at a filter that is built for that (i.e. higher burst strength). Filter failure is extremely rare on the streets, however I can see the merits of safety wiring and using a race filter when maintaining consistently high revs around a track. And we all know where the
oil goes when it exits the filter/block... :-(
