Yes, bigger filters with more capacity help but comparisons do show a filtering quality difference.
For me, I would rather buy the best for the little extra protection to go with your better quality oils.
Just a thought.

Oil filters may look the same on the outside ... but on the inside it varies a lot ....

some filters have the pressure valve inside , some are just a free flow , look inside the big centre hole of the original OEM One ... and not to forget the weight ... then look inside the substitutes... see if it looks empty ? it may just be regular paper element ... ( you don't want that one ) the good filters have valves to regulate pressure ... and is heavier...

be careful ....putting million dollar oil in your engine is not going to save it from wear , if its not filtered properly ...
Yea, yea. How about doing some research on that before just spewing up generalizations and guesses?

The only difference besides size, is that the larger filter can take an extra 15 PSI before blowing up.
