Is high end oil filter necessary for high performing cars or cars that don't get drive often ?

I used to use Fram Endurance on my Viper but now I think I am going to use the spec Viper filter after reviewing conversations on Viper forums. The Viper filter has a very thick canister that holds up to the pressure of the oil pump.

How much oil pressure does the Viper make? Highly doubt the Fram Endurance can't handle it.

For my Sportwagen that I track somewhat regularly, I have always run Mann but recently switched to the Fram Synthetic Endurance. I think it does matter...best oil (HPL for me) and best filter you can run in a performance application...the difference in price is negligible unless you are talking the most basic Supertech filters.

I have been using Hengst made in Poland canister filters, and I really like the build quality. I wish however it had a silicon ADBV.

I ordered a Mahle filter and it had a strange 2 piece base plate. I found it pretty odd and won't likely use it. Posted about it here. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/unique-mahle-filter-construction.379891/

I agree, there is nothing special needed on these special cars.

They are all two piece base plates. Somewhere on here there is a cross sectional drawing of an oil filter. The can is crimped to another thin piece which is connected in different ways to the thick base plates.
