William,

I am running something similar to what you describe, but on a Harley.

I purchased mine from NRHS (http://www.nrhsperformance.com/partslubrication.shtml) when I built my Harley for more performance. I cut/pasted their description below.....

"Oil is the lifeblood of your engine, don’t trust it to a cheap paper element oil filter! The NRHS Hurricane Oil Filter cleans your oil to an absolute 35 micron size, below the limit of human visibility and only slightly bigger than a white blood cell. Unlike a paper filter, this is an absolute filtration spec, meaning nothing larger than this should pass through the filter (paper elements are rated on an average or percent of efficiency, meaning they can and do pass much larger particles). The integrated magnet further enhances the filtration capabilities of the most abrasive ferrous particles. The medical grade stainless mesh is 100% cleanable and flows more than 7 times more oil for the same time period as a paper element, ensuring that even during cold startup with heavy oil your engine is getting filtered oil. Tested to 1500psi, the heavy duty case is polished to a beautiful finish and the aluminum finned construction assists with heat dissipation.. There is no finer oil filter made for your Harley Davidson or Buell! Comes complete with wrench for installation/removal."

I can't look at the one you are looking at from my work, but if this sounds comparable to the one you are looking at, I'll give my opinion for whatever it's worth.

I ran my '05 H-D Wide Glide w/stock internals until I had 7,000 miles on it, then built it w/considerable mod's (big bore kit, big cams, big heads, forged pistons, etc); took it from stock 60 hp/82 tq to 107 hp/107 tq. I've been using the Hurricane lifetime filter ever since (and Mobil 1 synthetic), and I've got over 30,000 miles on it now, with VERY HARD riding! NRHS builds engines and runs their bikes at Bonneville salt flats using this same filter. I've no regrets and would do it again.
