Yeah, I knew this long time ago...
If you keep your eye on your oil gauge while driving in town, you will see
fluctuations. The Mopar oil filter has check valves in them... I assume
they open at a certain PSI.
The mopar oil filters solve the common problem of noise when aftermarket
rocker arms are used. Since the rockers are kinda part of the oil system.
the filter DOES have a role in matters.
Bernd can back me on this.... he's the one who told me about this...
