Below is the pic of the Stainless Steel oil filter. The biggest benefit is that there is zero flow restriction, so on engine start up oil gets moving quickly and gets to all the engine parts much faster reducing engine wear and piston ring scuffing.

2ndly, because there is no flow resistriction is take less energy to move the oil through the car, so it frees up a small amount of engine Hp. It also helps keep the oil pressure more consistant. Some oil filters can reduce oil pressure up to 20 psi on the outlet side due to poor construction or design.

Filtering of the oil media is also very good and this filter catches particles down to a constant 30 micron in size. Paper filter will filter oil from about 15 to over 300 microns depending on the paper the and the holes or openings in the paper filter.

I have had it on my engine for about 2,500 miles and it works flawlessly.
