What's the difference between car and motorcylce oil filtes?
What's the difference between car and motorcylce oil filtes?
(OP)
There are plenty of automotive oil filters that will fit on my motorcylces. All of them are taller and have more filter media.
Perhaps the bypass valve opens sooner on an automotive filter.
The oil pump on my Honda is rated at 85 psi @5,000 rpm.

Racing filters will withstand high pressure but they only filter out the 'big chunks' as flow rates are critical. Industrial hydraulic filters can go as low as needed , 1 micron or less. Several in the 10 to 20 micron range but most motorcycle and automotive in the 40+ range. Check out the industrial lubricants forum. Lots of good info there.
