Without getting into the endless debate of what oil filter is "the best," does the inner profile of the base plate (convex vs concave) and size/number of the feed holes have any significant impact on the actual oil pressure and flow reaching the engine's critical bearings? The attached images show the small OEM filter with seven oval inlet holes, the large diameter Ford Performance filter with eight holes, and Fram's latest premium oil filter with six small holes. Mach 1s are limited to the small diameter OEM style filter housing and the Fram option seems like it could cause flow concerns? It seems like the various OEM's that use the same aftermarket replacement filters have no control over the designs. I don't have the background to understand the engine's oil pump outlet compared to the filter inlet and outlet area differences or the characteristics of oil pressure and velocity flowing through the filter media. Anyone that can shed further insight or a link to an objective explanation of what's best for a high revving Coyote engine is appreciated.
