There are quite a few different Wix that Summit lists.
What micron size would offer adequate protection? 21 microns sound ok? I know there are other issues like by-pass and drain back to consider too.

I'm no filter expert, but all filter companies will pay for damages done by their filters. If a filter was bad, I think it would plug passages and take out main bearings before it ever made its way back to the pan into the pick up screen. I would take Sirrotica's advice and put in a bypass system. NO..... I dont have one, but it's a good idea and I may plumb one in as hidden as I can make it. JMO just my opinion. ; )
