Dual or single oil filters ?

I thought the Moroso was a 10 micron ?
Anderson at Gessford gave me one when I visited him a while back.

Looks like Canton's is 8 micron. Why a 27 ? That's a big difference.

Both Moroso & Wix are at 25 (or real close). Supposedly, Moroso's engineers have opined that particles smaller than that cause no damage to the engine and that filters that brag that they go down to 10 microns, or the like, are actually accomplishing nothing. Now don't bash me; I don't know. Yes, I do use a Moroso filter, and I'm sure you can find the Moroso engineer's theories with a bit of Googling....

That sounds logical to me, so I'm wondering about the Canton with 8 ?
Think it's too restrictive and will hut the flow of oil ?

I wasn't bashing you bud.

Considering how little we drive these things, along with the fact that Wix & Moroso are at least as good or better than what we put on our other cars (all of which get to or beat 100,000 miles), coupled with the knowledge that we change the oil probably more often than we change our underwear.... I feel pretty comfortable with my one single Moroso filter.
