elric ..basically there is no such thing as a high flow or low flow filter. Typically there is just faster or slower oil moving through it. Naturally conditions and restrictions apply ..and your mileage may varyquote:
Has anyone compiled a chart of flow rates for FL1A sized filters?? So far Fleetguard LF-697 seems to be the leader at just under 16 gpm @ 25 psi.
Yes, but on the same engine ..those numbers don't equate to more flow. (not that you're saying that they are --but) That's what (I think) people integrate it to mean. A 16gpm capable filter is still flowing 3 gpm on a 3gpm engine.quote:
