    Are there relevant functional differences between the oil filters for 246's made by UFI, Baldwin, Mann and other manufacturers? In Europe we can get Baldwin at Dinoparts in Germany and UFI at Superformance in the UK, but there are also oil filters from Mann-Filter, German made with a By Pass Valve Opening Pressure (1.2 bar) and with an Anti-drainback valve. See the specs at http://tinyurl.com/Mann-W940-1.

    BTW: My question might be asked and answered here before. If so I'm sorry but I couldn't find it and we don't have Matthias' Dino Compendium on hand yet.

    Happy New Year from The Netherlands

    In the late 70s, an internal standpipe was added to the (now 191993) UFI oil filter in an effort to reduce the average time to pressurization for the inverted mounting (because the US version V8 cold idle RPM was raised to heat up the cats more quickly) -- the Baldwin B253 has the internal standpipe too. Didn't see that specifically listed in the Mann specification, and it wouldn't be terrible if you used a filter that didn't have one, but it does seem a logical plus for any inverted application IMO. If you do a search on "Baldwin standpipe", you should get a lot of prior threads were we've argued about this ;)

    Only use the ones with the internal stand pipe. Just my opinion.
