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?

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.
