    Defective Filter. Should I send it back?

    And btw Hangfire.. If you like, as i'm in the hydraulic filtration filed now, i could sell you a 3 micron Beta 200 element, rated to 300GPM, with an 8 PSI pressure drop at that flow rating, used in a system up to 6,000 PSI with a by-pass rating of 5 bar or 72.5 PSID. And the element wouldn't...

    Defective Filter. Should I send it back?

    So the filter is mounted onto the block and not a remote mount. In that case, see if the block has a by-pass and if so what is the setting. Provided you can get a straight answer from the supplier. Your 40 psi is the normal flow rate. When you start the vehicle, there is no oil flow and you...

    Defective Filter. Should I send it back?

    Before you send your filter off to the professors, ask them if they know what the VW oil filter collapse specification is. If they don't know..... I see others have mentioned this was mounted on a remote mount filter head and that this element does not have a built in by-pass. If that is...

    Defective Filter. Should I send it back?

    Oh and one other thing. If you deem you want to send a filter back, call the manufacturer directly on the toll free number. They will send a filter retrieval kit for you to ship the filter back to them. Make sure you've drained the oil out. Which means, turn it upside down for 24 hours for...

    Defective Filter. Should I send it back?

    Maybe you should read this: http://www.aftermarketsuppliers.org/Councils/Filter-Manufacturers-Council/TSBs-2/English/88-3R2.pdf As someone who worked for a filter manufacturer, and for a time was involved in warranty, i've seen collapsed center tubes before. Not just automotive but for large...

    Filter By-pass Question

    Originally Posted By: miata10ae Let me ask it this way. Using the filter and oil spec'd for your car. Is it common for the filter to by-pass when its cold. Yes. Even if the ambient temperature is 120 outside. The by-pass senses pressure differential. So at start up, no oil is coming out of...

    Filter math?

    I see. If it were me I'd use the full flow filter and a Luberfiner Model 500 by pass. Provided you have the room. Use model 500, assembly part number 2141 for upright mounting with element part number 2095. Or you could go larger to the model 750 part number 5234 with element number 2122...

    When re-using your oil filter...

    Why would one mix used residule oil with fresh oil? I know people do it but it's not my thing. And oh btw...south of the border when they take a filter off and drain the oil out to reuse it...they flush the oil out with gasoline. Something to thin the oil and get it out. Again, not my cup of...

    Yeah, wait until they find out about the non metalic cartridge filters used in European and Asian engines. Especially when they paid big bucks for those foreign vehicles.

    What is the best oil filter?

    Btw..I happen to think the microgreen filter says what it does on the tin. Does a better job of removing 2 micron particles. I am just curious as to how good is all. Further if they were smarter.. .... they would promote that they filter the 10-25 micron particles better. Those are the ones...

    What is the best oil filter?

    I'm sure blackstone did a good job doing the count. Changing the air filter or not impacts the dirt that gets into the oil. In order for testing to be more accurate, imho, the air filter needs to have the same service life on it. Because normal oil analysis shows the longer you run an air...

    Filter Specs -

    oiltard; I'll try to explain seeing how I don't work for a filter manufacturer any more. In order for a cross reference to be applicable, engineering has to approve it. That's the bottom line. Just because some consumer finds the right threads and the filter fits, does not mean engineering...
