Sylvester Posted July 11, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2009 First of all, how do you use it where a cannister filter is used? Second, how would you clean it properly? Other than that I have no issues with it if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted July 12, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 12, 2009 I have had some experience with them and it was all bad. I had a customer that decided they could save a fortune on filters on his fleet of cranes. After the fourth engine in a few months they decided they were not saving money. The problem with them is they trap many micro particles that can not be cleaned out of the filter. they look clean till you look at them under magnification. the restriction keeps building and causes the filter bypass to stay open that sends unfiltered oil through the engine and causes more wear and heating of the oil. That causes lower oil pressure and more wear and more restriction of the filter and shorter oil life soon you have no engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
