I have had one of the L&N filters for a couple of years and been happy with it.

The filter element looks to be quite strong. I would guess that it would just about withstand a differential pressure equal to the full discharge pressure of the pump, in which case the engine would be toast anyway.

I have never understood why oil filters are designed with the flow from outside to inside. It would make a lot more sense from a maximum allowable differential pressure standpoint if it flowed the other way.
