Oil filters on 308

Hi Magoo, thanks for the reply. On cold start up, I stare at the oil gauge a
good 4-41/2 secs. then it snaps to atten. about 85psi. It got worse from when I first changed it (the oil) But I cant see a drop in there(the filter) The dealer should have me a new one Wednesday afternoon, Ill try that. I put on my K&N to get me by, not much better. Dan

P.S. I didnt cut the filter because the dealer wants to see it. Dan

Thanks guys for the help. I think its the nature of the beast,and I (we)
will live with it. I think you are correct Edward about all filters leaking down after 24 hours. The oil leaks out the small holes and bleeds into the oil
cooler line, and into the sump in time. I'm taking that fram to the ferrari
dealer Monday, I'll post what they think on the forum. Magoo that light
stays on only a couple seconds, so I'm good there.Thanks again. Dan

Hi Bruno ,Within a 24 hour period,(maybe less) the filters i have tried are bone dry. Dan

Thanks, Sounds great. I'll wait to hear from you. Dan

Hi Guys , I took the fram back to the Ferrai dealer, The parts Manager
told me this shouldn't happen. They gave me another but I think its doing the same thing. He also said he is getting a ton of complaints from other customers. He is trying to get some ufi's but said not to hold our breath.
Do we just live with it??? I'm not sharp on the oiling system on my 308
engine, Our we getting oil to the bearings and so forth ASAP?What do you
technicians think?? Dan

Magoo, I'll start it up thurs. night, that will be about 48 hours I'll let you know. I'll check it with a watch to see if I'm in the ballpark. When it does
take off, I idle about 70/80 psi. so I am confident the motors healthy.
I blame the filter because this all started when I changed my oil a couple weeks ago, and removed the UFI filter. Dan

magoo, work schedule got me this week! I'll fire it up Sat. and post ASAP.Thank you for the response. Dan

Hi Guys, Started the car with my new Fram filter. Needless to say it was bone dry. It took 8 seconds for psi(thats at a low idle, about 600 rpms as my car doesnt go into high idle). When warm, I get psi in about 2 secs,
so Im going look for a UFI again. Any one know the one we need,and where to get one? Thanks Dan

Magoo, THe light goes out maybe 1 to 2 secs. before the needle jumps up.
So thats still 6-7 secs. for psi. That of coarse is stone cold. When warm I
get psi very quickly. Bruno, my dealer has 0 UFI filters because ferrari
tells them to use the frams. Dan
