While we are on the subject.....
does this apply to non wbx motors?

( like my 52 degree 1800 I4 that occasionally take a little while to get
oil pressure up in the morning?)

The problem with filters is that most don't have suficient internal
spring pressure to maintain the oil in the galleries of the engine when
it is shut down. This often results in the "clattering lifter" syndrome
that plagues the WBX engine.
