Do you have the Donaldson part number?Adam, the Donaldson filter in 3614 size is 99% at 17 microns, which is one of the best. The other sizes are not as efficient. As we saw in the earlier post, the 7317 size is 95% at 40 microns.
I remember something, but what is it. The particles were fine until they went through the gaps and became sticky?There’s a c&p of an Ultra with ripples. The OP and many others pointed out visual particles on the clean side of the filter around the gaps. Not something we normally see on even low efficiency filters.
Some people claim that the leak doesn’t matter because it gets cleaned up on the next pass. The visual particles on the clean side of the filter are debunking this theory.
My guess is the particles took the path of least resistance bypassing the media through the gaps. Honestly not sure why the particles collected there, but it showed the leak path.I remember something, but what is it. The particles were fine until they went through the gaps and became sticky?
P551132 is the 3614 size filter.Do you have the Donaldson part number?
Thank you!P551132 is the 3614 size filter.
A new kind of oil filter has been invented.My guess is the particles took the path of least resistance bypassing the media through the gaps. Honestly not sure why the particles collected there, but it showed the leak path.
