My conclusion ...Shannow's right ..he can hold physics "clinics" on 101, 202, etc. and beyond levels. I'd attend ..but I need -000 and 000 remedial. Never bring a knife to a nuke fight.

for wix/napa prices, hit up fleetfilter.com for competitive pricing ..as far as seeing what you can expect to pay ..never bought from them, use www.filtermart.com I used to check filtermart when I saw good salvage on ebay. Often times the canister was a bargain, but the recurring costs of the...

I take it this is a DOE (double open end) filter? I'll try and find the name of the company, but they'll make you any length/diameter DOE filter in cotton wound SS core to any micron level you want. I had to buy a case, but I had (thinking) 20" x either 3.5 or 4.0 (2" core) in 3um for a PALL...

It would take an extremely saturated filter to be in bypass all the time. What would occur is that it would have elevated differential pressure longer as the oil thinned. Yes, engine man's take everything into consideration, that's why non OLM (includes even less articulate systems) equipped...

Quote: The FED exists due to an act of Congress. It was passed just before Christmas (the usual time to pass unpopular legislation) in 1913. It would take another act of Congress to get rid of it. So, can we say that this power ..this centralized power ..that's privately held ..that creates an...

Quote: 1. It depends more on the engine than the filter. In more cases than not.

Most bypass events occur at cold start due to the engine oil pump going into pressure relief. Out of relief, the differential pressure across the filter is negligible..new or "seasoned". The engine, especially with thick oil cramming its way through it ..will be MEGA MORE restrictive than the...

As you wish. Just keep in mind that the spec's you see on the box are when the filter is shot, not when you put it on. The nominal rating is more indicative of typical performance. Changing the filter early will reset the curve of filtering efficiency. Just change your oil twice as much as you...

Quote: Wix seems to disagree: Correction, Wix marketing disagrees. No OEM agrees with their specifications.

Quote: If I'm interpreting you correctly, you are basically saying what the minimopar filter study has advanced as the major reason for an adbv, and why silicone is advantageous to nitrile, especially over the long term. Why would you come to that conclusion?? k'zine was a perseverating fool...

If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance ....

GM has factored this even before the OLM. They told you to change the OEM spec'd filter (ANY filter meeting OEM spec's) ever OTHER time if your OCI was based on mileage (15k/year). There is no need to change the filter early. Filter life is determined mostly by how many high loading, insoluble...

It probably performs better than the spec's read due to the way it's tested. I think that under the same test protocol, it woulde show poorer than a filter of the same media after a certain threshold was breached. That is, in a given piece of media there is a variance in pore distribution. Up...

Originally Posted By: Pete C. You people do understand what the primary function of an anti-drainback valve is don't you? It is to prevent the sudden backflow of oil over the media after shut down. This is to prevent washing trapped junk from returing to the oil stream. A secondary, and bonus...

Drew, there were two classes of people who shared his vision. Those that saw the peril for the nation and its people ...and those who hoped that he'd be ignored for their "self interests" to be furthered. Guess who won that wager?

Originally Posted By: Seguino Curious that the Wix and the supposedly identical NAPA Gold have different amounts of media. For all we know they were not produced using the same batch of media. That is, I'm sure that there's more than one way to skin a cat and a given run with a given media may...
