it may cost a bit more, but thats the price you pay for 8 micron filtration as opposed to 20+ micron filtration
it uses depth filtration so it can hold more sediment than a pleated paper filter (which 99% of spin on filters are) and it can even out flow a brand new pleated paper filter when contaminated/dirty
it also has no bypass. typical automotive filters have a bypass valve that allows unfiltered oil back into the engine when the filter element gets full. many of these bypass valves are made of PAPER! & use a spring that in underrated, leading to a constant flow of unfiltered oil.....
it has an anti drainback valve to keep the oil from draining back to the pan when the engine is shutdown, this leads to oil pressure being established faster on startup
also the filter element , seals & drain-back valve are all replaceable/rebuildable

The OEM is the best. All of the high horsepower EVO's & DSM's run a stock filter. If you have to spend more money to feel better, go for better oil such as Redline, Schaffer's, AMS oil(not related to the shop, an actual oil company), or Royal Purple. Mobil 1 is fine for moderately aggresive drivers. If your cranking on the boost all the time, try to run the better stuff. In temps above 60f, you should be running 15W50, or 20W50. It provides better protection for the bearings, and it's all the high power big dogs run. Running higher quality oil and changing it every 1,500 miles when your beating the crap out of it will provide better protection than going with an aftermarket oil filter.

Has anyone used the Ralliart Neodymium Magnet Oil Filter?
They sell them here: http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bc...ategory=engine

It costs ¥4,967 or $46.29

Mecca, System 1, stainless screen filters work well are cost less over the long run also they can be plumbed just about anywhere with a spin on filter adaptor and AN hose lines. And lets see if paper filters were that good why dont you see them on premium race cars. ie. F1, Indy, ALMS, IMSA, NHRA do I need to go on. While they might be overkill on the street they will pay for themselves over the lifetime of your car. 4$ filter for a 6-10k modified engine I dont think so.

This is interesting. Do you know of a source that offers emprircal data showing long term (high mileage) effects?
