Does anyone know what size dia. is needed to restrict the oil line
so oil pressure does not drop to much.Have seen it somewhere but can't remember,and where is the best place to locate in the system.

Steve i have a frantz oil filter and the orifice size in that is about 3MM.

Have found it,fram filters have a restricted hole in the center tube of the filter,to avoid a large drop in oil pressure.
