This external one is new . After reading about it i don't quite understand it . It still uses a OEM oil cooler so that part is unclear to me. But i don't think anybody is running it yet. One guy is running their OEM style replacement oil cooler.

I talked to the company & found out that their setup doesn't use the stock oil filter but use a spin on. Theirs is a 30 Micron & the Ford is 20 Micron. That is more than a deal breaker to me.
I do think their idea is a smart one but not with a 30 Micron filter.

This is Vince from IPR, I'll be happy to answer any questions and clear up misconceptions.
The system does not use a spin on filter. It uses a cartridge filter and is in the factory oil filter housing location. Micron rating is 25 microns.

Let me see if I understand this.
You mount the cooler outside the engine
and re-route the coolant and oil out to the
new location. To this you also add a 100%
coolant filter. I like this.
Sounds interesting other than the 5 microns
larger filter size, What is the min gap in an injector?
That would cause me to pause.
Why not get a 20 micron filter?

sounds like a by-pass oil cooling system with the filter catching the larger particles and the stock filter doing it's regular job . If it is a additional cooler their is no need for a filter just adding more cooling. I personally would put a lower micron (smaller) in a by-pass mode

The filter is actually 23microns, unfortunately there are no filters that we can find from any manufacturers with the size requirements we need for this kit.
I would not worry too much about a 3 micron difference, you still have the HPOP screen filter if you are worried.
We may, "may" is the word here offer an adapter to allow you to still use the Ford OE filter FL2016 with our kit. At the time being, most of our customers have been really happy with the kit.
This kit is not a bypass of any kind. The only part that is bypassed is the OEM oil cooler. Since the OEM oil cooler is not there anymore, we needed to install a bypass manifold in it's place to allow coolant and oil to flow it's natural path as if the OEM OC is still in the engine under the oil cooler housing. The bypass manifold passages are 3/4 ID.

Let me clarify, what I mean is, most of our customers are happy with the setup, until more customer ask that we adapt the kit to use the OEM filter instead of current oil filter in our kit, we will leave it as is.

Since you are concerned that the filter micron rating in our kit is 3microns larger than the OEM filter, would this be a deal breaker for you?
Would you then consider buying a different brand oil cooler kit?
It's important for me to understand every customers concerns. This will enable me to make a better product.
