I like the PureOne but I like to get the L20073 for the older rotary engines instead of the L14459 for the later engine.

The early filter is tall, the later one is short. One of these days I'll try to figure out if any of the Mustang sized filters will fit.

remember guys, the pressure sensor gets its signal BEFORE the filter, so if your pressures are going up after installing a new type of filter, the filter medium is allowing LESS oil to pass in a given amount of time, (the oil is being "backed up", causing the higher pressure readings)which means there is LESS oil flowing through your engine
