This is my observation from using both types of filters many years ago in
my MGA 1600:
A felt filter would give about 5-10 pounds more oil pressure than a paper
one. That sold me on the felt ones. I don't know about how much filtering
was going on though- for all I know the diminished pressure indicated more
effective filtration.
