Anyone here have any oil pressure loss using dual oil filters?
Any bad oil filters floating around?
All comments could help.

What's the point of using two? If the first filter doesn't catch it the second one won't either. You may lose pressure and flow in the oil system.

Check out the CM series oil filters offered by Canton Racing Products. Buy from someone off ebay as they are cheaper there...Mac

Where are you measuring your oil pressure? Two filters in parallel should reduce the overall filter resistance. If you are measuring upstream of the filters, the pressure may drop. If you are measuring downstream of the filters, it should go up (a little).
If your filters are in series the opposite would be true. I don't believe I would want two in series.
