Hi Folks,
=C2=A0I sold auto parts my whole career and had a chance to attend the 3-da=
y Wix School of Filtration. While it did not make me an expert, I did learn=
 a few things. The racing oil filters R suffix are intended to allow higher=
 oil flow and less restriction at the expense of higher filtration. Thus, r=
obbing less horsepower.=C2=A0=C2=A0They should be changed after each racing=
 weekend and are not intended for long term street use. I have always used =
Wix filters, but after a recent survey I have switched to Baldwin filters. =
Thier B243 is the equivalent to the Wix 51516. It is not an 'R" version.
Paul Morro
