You're looking at 50 decent quality filters ..even at 3k a pop ..you're at 150k for a break even point.
Not a bad idea ..just too expensive. Between that and a tp bypass, you could really make out in environmental savings ..but the recoup time with that type of cash outlay with no advantage in filtration just isn't going to sell if anyone thinks about the economics of it.

"A vehicle idles at approximately 11 pounds of pressure in the oil filter. Most BYPASS valves open around 12-13 pounds of pressure, This meaning that as soon as the throttle is pressed the BYPASS valve opens and your oil is no longer being filtered. "
I call BS on this one.

Yes ...where is wavinwayne's BS meter??
Ah ..found one
Ah ..found one
The obvious flaw in their bypass statement is that the 11 psi at idle is the pressure downstream of the filter. The bypass valve opens at 12-13psi of "differential" pressure across the filter media.
You need a BS meter with the needle pegged on the far right so hard it's bent to corectly represent the gravel strainer being discussed.quote:

I never trust a company that makes stuff for cars but cant spell INFINITI right.......
Its typical for a stainless filter to only filter in that 35micron range.
This filter is similar to the system1, purepower, and trufilters.

And, then there is the trasko which uses a mesh like the above and includes a TP roll for those of you who want better filtration.

This one's calibrated a bit better
Oh please ,dont put Pure Power ! in with trufilter or ultrafilter,they are knock offs.Pure Power!is the original Lifetime Filter System, and the others are full of B.S
They stole a bunch of info and B.S'd it up and are making a real mess.
But a few missled items,Stainless steel can be a fine as you want it,PP does use a duplex layered 35 micron, and the certified capture ratio is 5-25 micron (avg 22) and that is better than a wet piece of paper,yes out of the box in your car , your filter does not filter 1,5,10 micron cause oil is 12-14 microns in size, so when your filter is wet it disolves paper and then continues to disolve as you drive allowing flow,and then dirt , and then dirty oil, and you change it again.

Oil is 12-14 microns in size???
Are you in drug rehab or something???

Maybe you should try the new HempFilter!(insert thunder noise here) lifetime oil filter. With a medicinal-grade hemp fiber filtering element, your concerns about oil filtration will be a thing of the past. Hemp fiber contains natural oils so that you will never again need to line the pockets of the wealthy oil companies by purchasing oil in a store or by replacing a conventional filter.
And once up to operating temperature, HempFilter!'s (thunder noise) all-natural aroma will have you believing that your engine is running better than ever before!
So all the pictures of used oil filters posted here with or without holes in the media are fake?
