I have a oil filter and understand about 10% oil is filtered.

The way I see it, 10 % is better than nothing. There is a guy selling a full flow oil filtration kit to go on our old motors. Do a google search for Deve's Technical Network. He's got some cool things to spend our money on. I'm not affiliated with him, just found him searching the internet one day.

What are opions on keeping or removing filter. The by-pass oil filter might filter 2%-10% of the oil as the oil passes by the filter; however, in a short period of time, 99%+ of the oil get filtered as the oil passes by/through the filter unit. Why not keep it? | | |
