A larger oil filter has the following advantages:
1. More oil - Useful if you are running an extended drain interval.
2. Better filtration - The filter has more filter media so the flow rate per unit area is lower. Slower moving particles are easier to capture in the filter media.
3. Increased particle holding capacity - More filter media will hold more particles.
4. Lower oil temperatures - Larger filter has more surface area exposed to the air and thus allows more cooling of the filter.
5. Less flow restriction - Due to being larger, the oil filter will have less flow restriction, allowing for slightly higher oil pressures and freeing up some engine horsepower.
6. More consistent filtration - As the engine speed climbs, the oil pump volume output climbs as well. Most filter have bypass valves which bypass the oil filter media should the pressure across the filtration media go too high. It is common for filters to be in bypass at higher engine speeds. With a larger filter, the pressure drop across the filter media is lower, allowing for the engine to run to a higher speed before the filter goes into bypass.

any of you guys cut open some of these filters that can fit the same car to see what the difference is?
wrt:
filter element
end caps
how many pleats
how the pleats are connected
bypass and anti drain back valves
and before anybody say "why you doh go and do it", i'll post my findings when ah ready

And if the Old swift can use a L10241 and the L14477 can the new swift also use an L10241?
pete wrote:Cool cuz from a previous thread I was using the 2951. Next oil change I'm planning to use the luberfiner though.
