Yup.
The faulty Wix filters were made of paper and did not create enough resistance to flow which resulted in too much oil going through the filter and not enough oil to the engine.

So long as a homemade filter has at least as much resistance (back pressure) as the stock filter, there will be no damage to the engine. Even if the filter is completely blocked, there will still be adequate flow to the engine.

Thank you sir! That is very interesting.
