Oil filter question

Ok going to be doing my oil change soon and I was wondering about oil filter for 12A. I heard that some peoples recommend the one that have 1qt. per second or minute something like that of tranfer. I can not remember exacly but is that suppost to be good? I saw it on some post a while back in here.

Wix 51347. I promise you will like it. It is twice as tall as the OEM filter and a little wider also. Wix makes a really good guality filter also (and they are cheaper than K&N or OEM). I think I got mine for under $5. Then top it off with 5 quarts 20w-50 castrol.

I think most autopart store have them aussiesmg. I think I might get that Wix one but I was just thinking about oil flow 1qt per second or something like that not sure if that is going to matter. However I been thinking of buying the air filter as well from K&N.

I decided to go with the K&N Filter instead. Looks better to me.

Yup. But it turns out that the Napa Silver and the Napa Gold are actually the same excellent Wix filter except for the paint on the outside--- and the Silver is little more than half the cost of the Gold. The Napa Silver is the filter I have switched to.

I am not to sure but all I got to say is I like the K&N over the Wix since that is what I had before. I like the fact that it holds oil inside the filder which dosen't let it drop back into the engine so it will not have dry start. I tested the filder by adding oil and spinning it and trying to see if it will leak back but noper. Drove the car just now feels alot better and starts alot better than before. Also I put Lucas Oil Stabilizer oil treatment along with the Castro 20-50w. So it drive nice I am waiting though for my K&N Filter which will get here tomorrow so I can install it on the car.

Anyone know what Fuel Filter is best for FB?
