Greaser - as Dan mentioned, Baldwin makes the B2 filter in HPG (High Performance Glass,I believe is what the acronym stands for). I bought 6 of the B2HPG's from Acklands Grainger a few months ago. The store in Oshawa didn't stock them and wound up having them sent from Alberta - took maybe a week and cost $10 and change Cdn.
That's each - 'course you already figured that.
I am currently running one in my '95 Chrysler (2.5L V6 - 220,000 kms) along with Rotella 0-40 synthetic. At 10,400 kms, the oil is still translucent and while it has darkened some, it is nowhere near the black colour I would have expected it to be, with this much mileage on it. I take this to mean that the filter is also getting the soot out of the oil. With the regular sized Delco's I was previously using, the oil would be much darker at change-out and I've never gone past a 6,000 km OCI, 'till now. We know whose fault that is, don't we? BTW - this engine has "used" no oil, (at least not so's you can tell by reading the dipstick) in all this time with the Rotella 0-40 Synthetic, which is pretty amazing to me, for a car that's 75% hwy driven, in the 3000-3500 rpm. range. Past practice, when I was using SYNTEC "BIK" (Before I Knew) I would go through a litre of make-up oil before change-out. I'm in for an oil change next week and I've got 5L of GC to try - be interesting to see if it holds up like the Rotella. Regards, Doug
Who filters/flows better?
