Dave..I take it from the picture the by-pass is in the dome end not the engine end ( threaded end).

If they add another layer, do you think the level of filtration would be at a lower micron level? How much is too much?
Harry
I don't have a problem with it.
Not quite the answer I had hoped for.
Harry
Harry what was the answer you were hoping for?

He was probably looking for the answer to this question. Post away Harry. I'd rather read about your filter questions than the 1,000th post on "thick or thin", "what is a synthetic", or "synthetic vs conventional"

Thanks Johnny,
I just want to know if it's possible to improve the already great Eao without any detremental effect on oil flow. Any thoughts?
Harry
I really do not know. There has to be some point where flow and filtering cross. I would bet that Donaldson has done their homework on this one to have it just about where it needs to be. They probably could add more filtering ability but at what risk. Probably would not hurt for short oil changes, but for extended drains like this was designed for, you want all the safe flow you can get.
I would contact Amsoil first, then Donaldson with this question. I'm sure one or both of them have all of the testing they did before they decided, this is it.

You can always throw on an AMSOIL Bypass filter, and get absolute filtration at 2 microns.
Of course, that would probably get us into a couple rounds of more particle counts!

****,
I didn't want to go to the bypass oil filtration system because of space and appearance considerations. I was delighted to discover the new Eao filter and it's superb filtering abilities. I think it's performance approaches that of the bypass systems. I know it could be improved somewhat, but for now, it's the Eao all the way. If there is a better filter out there, please let me know what it is, I will try to get some to try.

Johnny,
I did contact Amsoil. They said yes, it is possible to design the filter to go lower in microns.
The oil flow would be my concern though. GeorgeCLS says that the nanofiber filter flows over 100% of its area, unlike standard filters with mayby a 60% flow capability.
Some owners do use short OCIs and a filter that say is absolute at 10 microns would be very desireable.
