I'm kinda thinking this as well. I've always been told the filters needed to be mounted vertical. Never really got a good answer why, but looking back at all the different filter setups I've seen over the years, every one has been mounted that way from what I can remember. But I'm just here for the popcorn, so don't listen to me! :hehe:
Wrong. Chevy trucks and cars have oil filters mounted horizontal on some applications. Also lots of small engines run horizontal filters such as Briggs and Stratton.
