When we use to race, we used sometimes metal filters coated with oil.
Without filters the air around the carb would not get pulled in in a semi
Laminar fashion and made a difference.
So we made it a rule to change oil after racing to cut down on wear from
the abrasive particulates.
Oil filters filter only 25% as the engine RPM is high and the pressure at
the filter is high enough for the bypass to open majority of the time.
Racing filters had lower restriction, but it did not filter smaller
particulets.
