Most partial flow filters only filter some of the oil coming out of the engine-full flow filters filter the oil going into the engine-that is before the contaminants get into your system versus after they have passed through and scored your bearings. I passed on a rebuild of a 1958 Cadillac engine because it had partial flow and rebuilt a later 1962 engine for my '58 Cad to get the advantage of full flow filtering.
