ok, an oil (ish) question - be gentle.

hoping to move to slicks and want to put in an accusump. don't want the added hoses, etc., associated with a remote oil filter, so all sandwich plates, adaptors, etc., have to fit in the standard place. in order to ensure clearance a shorty filter is required. previously, lne had recommended the 3.4" tall napa gold 1042 (21 micron) if just running the lne adaptor, or the 2.6" tall napa gold 1081 (21 micron) if running the adaptor and accusump sandwich plate.

they now recommend their $270 (!!!) 2.6" tall billet washable 60 micron oil filter for all applications.

so, why the change? so that they can sell their $270 product? or, does the small size of the napa product (less filter element) coupled with the lower micron rating, just not let enough oil through?

but, does a 60 micron filter element let too much through? ie, is it too much of a compromise to ensure oil pressure, and the only real soln is to go remote and run a full-size filter?
