so after reading a thread that talked about oil filters, and how some have a pressure relief valve and some dont, i decided to ask who runs what and if they see a need for a filter exactly like the stock one.

i run a full blown oil relocation kit. i happen to have a TG3506 that fit on it and thats what i run right now. i have been told the stock filter has a relief valve to help with cold starts. i read on the fram site that the tg3506 has a "Silicone anti-drainback valve holds a reserve of oil in the filter to help protect the engine during start-ups"

honestly, i didnt think there was this much thought put into a damn oil filter. s2k has crazy high oil pressure, and i have never had a problem with oil pressure with the car ever, and i have run many different brand filters.

in the one thread i read, he mentioned a baldwin filter that helps add capacity to the system, approx 1 extra quart. anyone think this is needed?

that being said, what filters do you guys run?

side note, i am emailing LJ to ask him what i should have run for his kit. as i never asked so i guess i should lol.

OEM filter w/factory relocation kit.

 

IIRC, the S2kAtlanta club won't let folks on the track at their events unless they run the OEM filter or have a mechanism to handle filter failure. Something to do about the pressure being too much for non OEM filters. I don't know if it's true, but I only run OEM. They worked fine with the InlinePro relo kit and the Greddy relo kit.

 

OEM filter with Inline Pro relocation.

 

Same for me

 

camuman can't run the OEM filter because his oil relocation kit takes a oil filter with (Thread: 13/16-16) not(Thread: M20 x 1.5) as what is on the "S".

I have a ur relocator and run a mobil1 m209 or m210 can't remember but it is for a ford Taurus. I wish mine came with a Honda compatible relocator.
