[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] Again with Filters?!
Hi Folks, As much as this has gone on and gone on; allow me to drag it out some more. On drain back valves..check valves..or whatever. 1. I asked if these were indeed really useful on a filter that is mounted exactly vertical...hole side up...no one can seem to tell me, but lots of listers have claimed it's important. If oil does indeed drain back into the engine/pan from the filter after shutdown...how come my filters are jam packed (that's full) of oil when I remove them (even "valveless" FRAMS)? On the "Media" 2. Lots of listers have said that they have cut open filters or seen pictures of the innards of different filters. No one however (I don't think) has given any data on what any given media actually is trapping or letting go. Despite some listers' feelings about CU, they're the only ones that I know of that have measured in microns what is coming through the filter (this is where FRAM blew other tested filters out of the water). Remember the last time you went to the bathroom at the racetrack and they had those nice brown paper hand towels with the absorbancy of Saran Wrap? Well, I'd rather have one square of Bounty than a yard of that. All I'm trying to say is... "Audi owners want media that traps particulates well, not particulates with good taste." Let's not get into the toilet paper at the racetrack. What say you? Paul Royal 90 90Q20v 87 5Ks 67 SS/RS Camaro 80 Suzuki VX800
