Re: Valve lifter rattle - oil filter?

I got rid of the noise in my 95 after replacing the o-ring that is located between the oil suction strainer pipe and the engine block. This required removing the oil pan. > My 93 Legacy Turbo has had the same valve lifter rattle for the last > 10 years, (& +130K miles).

My 93 Legacy Turbo has had the same valve lifter rattle for the last
10 years, (& +130K miles).
I've tried just about everything I can find on the net over the years
including removing the valve cover and an oil galley plug to clean.
I've read recently that the problem is down to the oil filter which
seems to be corroborated by the noise being much less or absent just
after an oil change.

What's the advice on a high flow/efficiency oil filter?
