We are offering oil filter multi-pass efficiency testing services for your new and used oil filters. Efficiency changes over time as a filter loads. We can determine if your filters are still performing. $400 per Filter for 15 minutes of efficiency data. You choose the micron size from 4um(c)-70um(c) per ISO 11171 calibration.

Please message me here on BITOG, phone or email me before sending any filters:

What would the cost be to have two more filters done the same way you ran your original testing on the FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple...etc.? Two more I think the consensus is that we'd like tested to compare to the ones you already did are the new style FRAM Ultra (you did the original style) and the AMSOIL EaO.

$1600 + Fluid Cost for a full 4548-12
 
At $400 to test the filter I'd rather just replace the filter a little more frequently. I ran $2-4 filters approximately 5K mile intervals on an '88 Ford Escort and the engine was still running when I retired the car at 518K miles. Figure a $4 filter every 5K miles comes to 104 filters for a cost of $416. Over the span of about 24 years and over half a million miles the filters cost $16 more than a single filter efficiency test. May be worth the cost on some filters but doubtfully so on most automotive filters.

We are making available information, and an engineering service to people and small business that was up to now only available to large businesses for their filters. Similar to what Blackstone does for used oil analysis, we will do for used filter analysis. We appreciate your take on this. Have a good day sir.

I would like to thank Ascent Filtration Testing for all they have done with what they have provided us here on Bitog. There are some members here that care about your tests, if someone does not care then why are they posting here in this Section? We have so many debates about oil filters and I am going to bet that the new style Fram Ultra is not better than the older style Fram Ultra.

I am saying this because I am Wired and I have 3 of the older Fram Ultras that are wired like myself. I also have a Royal Purple Oil Filter as well as a Purolator Classic that is probably 12 years old.

Only one way to find out for sure ... 💲🤑💲

My bet is that the difference is minimal.
 
We should do a GoFundMe, I'll donate for sure, but I can't justify spending $3,200 of my own money to test two filters, lol.
Could just do the ISO 4548-12 efficiency part for $400 per filter, per what Andrew posted earlier. But would also like to see the delta-p vs flow curve (which could probably be had without any extra setup), which I think is important. Wouldn't care about bubble point, holding capacity or efficiency vs loading at this point.
 
Would it also include the delta-p vs flow since you always have those parameters instrumented on the test rig?

Hello Zee
It would include the Differential Pressure at a constant flowrate of 25LPM at time 0 minutes-15min, 1 reading per minute-16 total DP readings. The capacity is not included. The remaining capacity can be tested for on a used filter, but is not in the scope of this particular test.
