I was discussing Oil filters with my son as we prep the car for a HPDE.
I have to add here the car is used 60% street and 40% track events like Time Trials or HPDE’s.
If I were to use a regular filter, I would use the NAPA (WIX) 1060 which has an Anti-drain valve. Going to install the 1060 that filters 9 to 11 GPM at 21 microns Rather than the racing filter that has no anti drain, that filters 28 GPM at 60 microns. I must admit, I have no facts and data to back up my choice.
As we were discussing it I remembered my old saying: “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” So I couldn’t justify my statement with data. I technical bulletin from Chevrolet stating that a engine needs 9 GPM to be properly lubricated would have been nice.
Does anyone have an article or read somewhere that 9 to 11 GPM is sufficient when tracking a car. Do any racing teams use a standard filter?
