We won't get into the contentious issue of whether adding an extra 1.5 quarts of oil will aid cooling or just add to the time the oil will get to its normal running temperature. Be that running hot or running at a normal temperature.  |
My point is that deep sumps don't filter.

AFAIK, only the CB mini-sump does that. It's nothing like what the OP has.

There is an EMPI version as well (p/n 17-2871)... Very similar to the CB sump. Perhaps the same casting other than the branded cover plate?

How does empi not get sued for something like this?

Maybe they pay a royalty to CB on each one...who knows.  |
Or maybe it's the other way around, and CB buys the sump from EMPI and puts their own cover on it?
Only branding the cover plate is pretty much a giveaway that it was designed to be generic. If CB (or EMPI) really cared about being exclusive, they would put their name on the sump casting, not the most trivially replaced small bolt on piece.

I think this is a great idea, the filter and extra oil has to help the engine. |
