I wondered this ( as I was consiering buying one) and so I tested one on my tintop recently which has good oil pressure

A fresh W712/52 filter showed about 0.5 bar lower than a 6 month old standard filter at 80 degrees and 2000 rpm, by the time the oil got to 100 the difference was minimal maybe 0.2 bar down.

I'd say you would not want to let the smaller filter get old and clogged but a fresh one is OK if you have good oil pressure

I would be concerned about using 20W50 and if I had poor oil pressure

Anyone know of any other silencers/mufflers that fit the Speedshop exhaust? I think mine is rattling. Been on 3 years.

Haven't had a JK but have had a Speedshop which sounded really nice. After denting it I impatiently went for a longlife exhaust instead. Same length as Speedshop but round instead of elliptical. Way too loud and harsh now :cry:

Yeh mines prob a bit loud But it’s fruity. I thought it was the bolt attaching the box to the bracket as it wouldn’t tighten enough but I’m not so sure now, basically I can hear a rattle like a metal rattlesnake when I lift off in the first 3 gears mainly.
