Message	before or after the oil filter.You will always get pressure drop after the oil filter. A larger oil filter will have more surface area for filtering and increase flow which should give less pressure drop after the filter. A smaller oil filter will raise oil pressure before the filter because it is more restrictive. ************************************************************ "Carrying a gun is like having a second cock.
