Not sure that actual amount (% of filtration) is important as far as identifying the type of system is concerned. It is a less than full flow system vs a full flow system. For ID purposes it has been referred to as the 95% for a long time! I think of it as an ID and not a documented fact as to the percentage of oil that passes through the filter per unit of time. Attempting to rename it would most likely just add to the confusion when looking at archived articles on the subject. Ford seemed to be happy with the non-full flow filtration systems in this era. I would have to agree that a full flow system is superior, but then the so called 95% system is much simpler to achieve. I use the 95% system myself mainly because it is easy to remotely hide the filter.
