z9=the big chunky standards
ive seen z10 ones bit shorter and apparently are for 8's
now other day i saw these tiny ones made by GM ACDELCO i forget wat it was, would anyone know wat part number they are? like a miny z9. same proportion but miny, compared to the z10 wich is just shorter

Speak to Rollin if you're interested in the GM ones, he uses them from his work.

In general, oil filters are oil filters in my experience.

The smaller one might be used for the engines equiped with engine oil coolers such as the T series.Just a thought.

i'd say it might not be for a falcon aplication at all,

different cars use different filter sizes, falcon use the Z9 model (or its equivelant - consult the parts manual at the parts store)

We used to use a very small filter on our race Clevo, from memory it was from a 3 series BMW, which happen to be the same flange size as a Z9.

What's that?..... Did I hear you say TQE power?

apparently with the smaller ones = better oil pressure makes sense as the z0 holds like 500ml a little one would hold much less?

The smaller ones are ok, but need to be changed more often. Drag cars use them to minimise weight and because the engines are pulled down frequently anyway. I'd only fit a smaller one if the Z9 is to hard to fit or you have a ps pump or something in the way

so no real point in using smaller ones and wouldnt last 5000k's?

no i would use the biggest one i could get - more internal filtration material = longer life and or better filtering.

would really love to know where i can get a engine oil cooler from though - would a TS50 oil cooler fit? are they even for the same sort of flange?

LTDHO - man im so envious of that power figure!!!!
