Originally Posted By: 2010_FX4 I am not being sarcastic, but that comparison does not seem realistic, not to mention the "basket" holding the filter played a significant role in how many grounds made it into your coffee cup. Just as the center post plays a significant role in the oil filter. I...

Originally Posted By: JTK Understood, but how much coffee grounds were in your cup? Few, less than .00001 % of the grounds in the filter. That's the analogy, an oil filter and and a coffee filter are not exact models of each other. With each pass the oil filter would pick up additional...

Originally Posted By: Texan4Life I disagree... While the filter surface area is only reduced by a small percentage, it ignores the fact that the oil will take the path of least resistance. I cite actual experience, the flow rate of the media, the appearance of the tears, and simple mathematics...

Originally Posted By: Cristobal Does a tiny rip matter that much? Oil would be passing through the media to a small degree even if there was a rip somewhere. Particles would be trapped but at a much lower rate. I will share a few observations and thoughts. Some years ago I was involved in a...
