Oil Filter Upgrade, Bigger one for the 5sfe motors (UPDATE) Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I don't know about everyone else, but I hate it everytime I go to change my oil and am reminded of how small my oil filter is. How can that thing do the job that the 2.2lt requires? So, I found one that matched the thread pattern and diamater and just put it on my car. It's a PureONE PL14477. It's only about a half and inch longer, but it's enough to make me happy. I'll try to find out what car comes with that.

EDIT: Update at bottem.

On the post up there about oil pressurizing time, i was taught: after changing your oil (oil and filter), to always click the key to on once (for like 5-10 seconds), then off, then start the car. I don't know if a/t are any different, but with the m/t, by turning the key to on, your oil and fuel pump is running....I think,hahahaha

Fuel pump runs, but I'm pretty sure the oil pump runs off a gear system from the rotation of the motor. That's why you get more pressure with higher rpms.
