Thanks, Patrick....that's a cool looking bit of gear there, might be one of my next purchases for the Cobra. I do let my car sit over the winter down here in TX, so a pre-lube function is a wish come true for me!!

VERY interesting....one favors flow rate while the other favors filtration.

I'm just curious, I've never seen any ratings like those....why would they rate an oil filter by how many CFM of air it will pass?

Cheers, Dugly

Honestly, I am not certain. They have a volume flow rating so it would seem redundant to also use an air flow rating. The only thing that comes to mind is it may be a way of describing the oil pressure restriction introduced by the filter element.

NASCAR filters notwithstanding, that Canton unit looks mighty impressive - although a little pricey. A lot cheaper than engine parts though.
