If the filter can flow more than enough to keep up with the oil pump along with viscosity changes, why go larger?
When was the last time you had the impression that your filter was really clogged with material when you changed it?
Even on my Jeep's old 4.0 I've gotten into the habit of changing the filter every other oil change because the destructive analysis of the filters over the 15 yrs I've owned it has indicated that there isn't much material at all at the normal oil change intervals.
Snythetic oils last longer, therefore they manage wear in the engine better. This decreases material in the oil. Less material beign filtered out, the less surface area of filter needed to maintain flow.
