SkyActive 2.5 na filter

[johnmyster]

I think with new cars revving to around 2k rpm on almost every cool/cold start, even a totally drained filter and oil passages are filled in well under 1 second.
I imagine on some engine, somewhere, with a stop start system, that has some poorly designed or manufactured oily part that does get a touch more wear if the oil filter and passages drain partially in a longer off period at a light, but I imagine most engines have no issue with a half second longer of no oil pressure. I believe most of the very thin oils seem to have some additives to perform well at near boundary lubrication events, like frequent start stop usage?

Even with a drainback valve, the galleys will empty. All the oil flows out the "low" hole, which is the crank oiling.

In my Cummins, the filter (no ADV) is mounted on the side of the block and vertical. Every time I do an oil change the filter is only 2/3 full. The supply circuit backflows until it breaks suction across the top of the filter element and then continues to drain down. I'm sure the risers sit completely empty.

I was buying filters from the dealer when they were $4 each. When their price went to >$10, there were better options.

IIRC the dealer carried two options, and the part number (above) was the cheaper. Came in clear plastic, no box.

I agree at $10 I would also look for other options. $4 was a great price while it lasted.

A $4 filter these days will basically give a jobber level oil filter. Some may be OK with that, but many wouldn't.

Jobber filters are fine by me they and the vehicles of mine and family survived plenty on them pushing to the 7500-10,000 mile mark. I try to manage a 5-6k interval life doesn't always work out that way.

Bulk buy pro-tec (jobber wix), $1.69 per filter. Or delco for $3.25. Wix or Baldwin for the big spenders at $5.20 each.
