I went to the Amsoil website to order a replacement EaBP-90 bypass filter, only to find out they no longer offer that filter. In fact, they only have one size bypass filter, and it is HUGE compared to the EaBP-90. Does anyone have any EaBP-90 filters stashed away somewhere?

Here is my latest UOA for my 2003 Honda S2000 with 40,157 mile OCI and 393,467 total miles on my car. I have an Amsoil dual remote bypass filter installed, as well as a prelube pump that pre-pressurizes the oil before I start the car. I've had this setup in my car since it was almost new. As...

Here is the latest UOA on my 2003 Honda S2000 taken when the car had 353,310 miles with an OCI of 40,259 miles. The car has an Amsoil Dual Remote Bypass Filter and a prelube pump which was installed when the car was almost new. The car started consuming a lot more oil during this OCI (a little...

I have a theory why so many Purolator filters are tearing: The bypass valve has a very small spring which does not allow it to open up very far during cold starts. This cold winter we just had meant that almost all oil was flowing through the bypass valve at startup. If all the oil can't get...

Here's the latest UOA on my '03 Honda S2000 taken with 313,000 miles on the engine and just short of a 41K OCI. I'm using Amsoil Signature Series 0W-30 oil with an Amsoil Dual Remote bypass filter (EaBP-90) and an electric prelube pump: I switch the pump on and get full oil pressure before each...

Here's an interesting article in "Machinery Lubrication", a publication of the Noria Corporation. It is titled, "Understanding Engine Oil Bypass Filtration". http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/29026/engine-bypass-filtration One particular sentence worth noting in the attached article is...

Here's my latest UOA on my '03 Honda S2000 with an Amsoil Dual Remote Bypass Filter and a prelube pump. Mostly highway miles, and no issues. I changed the oil and both filters when I took this UOA. The car runs great. This was a 41,093 mile OCI. The car currently has over 272,000 miles with no...

SAE just came up with a new low viscosity grade called SAE 16. Here is the writeup hot off the press from Automotive Engineering Online: SAE codifies new oil viscosity grade (SAE 16) Specifications for a new viscosity grade, SAE 16, will be published in a revision to “SAE J300: Engine Oil...

Here's my latest UOA with my '03 Honda S2000. I used Amsoil SSO & AZO 0W-30 oil with an EaO-15 full-flow filter and an EaBP-90 bypass filter on a dual remote bypass filter setup. I also have a prelube pump on this car, which pre-pressurizes the oil before each startup. The filters stayed in the...

Here's my latest UOA with my '03 Honda S2000. I went one year and 39,524 miles on this UOA using Amsoil SSO 0W-30 with an Amsoil BMK-13 bypass filter and a prelube pump. These were mostly highway miles. My setup has been working great, however I swapped out the prelube pump for a new one with...

I pushed it a little further this time. Here's my UOA for a 12 month, 35,096 mile OCI with my 2003 Honda S2000. I went the entire time with one Amsoil EaO-15 full flow filter and a EaBP-90 bypass filter on an Amsoil BMK-15 bypass filter setup. I also have an electric prelube pump hooked up to...

I just completed a 10,988 mile OCI on my '03 Highlander using Mobil 1 5W-30 motor oil. I used a Napa Gold filter for the first 6k miles then changed over to a MicroGreen filter. I had a UOA done and cut open the filter to see how it was constructed. Here is what I found: Here is a photo of the...

Here are the results of a 10,988 mile OCI using Mobil 1 5W-30 over approximately 9 months. The first 6000 miles were with a Napa Gold filter, then I switched to a MicroGreen filter for the last 5K miles. These were mostly highway miles, with about 600 miles of trailer towing on my '03 Toyota...

Here is my UOA on my 03 Honda S2000. I went 30,624 miles and 9 months on this OCI. I'm using Amsoil SSO along with an Amsoil BMK-13 Dual Remote Bypass Filter and a prelube pump. I used the EaO-15 full-flow filter and the EaBP-90 bypass filter. I replaced the stock air filter with a new stock air...

This is my wife's Acura RDX with a stock Turbo on a 2.3 liter four cylinder VTEC engine. I did this UOA to see how conservative the Oil Life Monitor was on this engine. This car is driven with a mix of city/highway, and short & long distance trips. Honda requires oils that meet HTO-06...

It looks like Castrol and Valvoline aren't the only ones taking shots at Mobil 1. Check out these video clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPlxdIhUiQM&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB_UCKRjYx0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C84FcqTEQBw&feature=related It...

Here's an article about a concept oil filter designed to extend the life of the oil by injecting additives into the oil at a constant rate. I thought this might be an interesting read: http://www.sae.org/mags/SOHE/5498 Mods: Please move this to another forum if you see fit.

Here's my latest UOA on my '03 Honda S2000 using an Amsoil BMK-13 bypass filter and a prelube pump. I went the entire 30,726 miles with the SDF-15 full-flow filter and the EABP-90 bypass filter. These were mostly highway miles. Here are the details of my setup...

I haven't seen anything written about this, so I thought I'd let everyone know of the new specification that will be used for all motor oils in the future. ILSAC GF-5 is being drafted, and is expected to go into effect in 2010. According to Lubrizol's site, all PCMOs (not diesel) carrying the...

I looked up the viscosities of various oils on Mobil's website, and I'm surprised by what I found. I would have expected that Mobil 1 0W-30 would be thinner than 10W-30, with similar viscosity at 100C. Instead, I found this: ................. cST@40C ---- cST@100C Mobil 1 10W30---- 62.0------...
