[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 12926, member: 109"] [b]Of paper filters[/b] Tom, I have the drain plug/bottom banjo with the allen screw in it, makes life a lot easier. I use the "full flow" paper filter - and change it with every oil change. Not sure how I'd go about rating it's performance, not sure how to compare really - other than to say it is quite easy to fit and use, I split open the one immediately post finding my cams and followers had destroyed themselves and found no trace of metal in the filter, but I did get a few bits on the magnetic sump plug. I guess I take the view that, if the technology existed at the time of manufacture then Vincents would likely have used the full flow paper filter on the basis that it allows a faster flow through than felt (guessing) but still collects the bits, if there are any to collect. So my very amateur deduction is that it is likely to be a good thing, and a lot more straightforward to change. I keep every filter, writing the mileage change on each box - not sure exactly why I do that but I guess it saves land fill and protects the planet. Maybe all things Vincent will become so valuable that there'll be a market for old oil filters!! Cheers [/QUOTE]
