does anyone have an opinion or heard of this bypass filter?

thanks

the efficency and dirt removal is not as good as the amsoil BP system. there cost is the same, but ido like there billit oil caps---i was looking for those for a while!! :-laf

Wayne, i just installed the new filter tonight. I hated to throw the other one away, but if the soot removal is as good as advertised, I wanted to get the filter on fresh oil... Anywho, next oil analysis will be in 5k when I change out the stratapore...



It will be my first analysis not running Delo.



Thanks again for the help!

I just looked at the markings on the EaBP100 (By-Pass element) and it states,

"98. 7 % Efficient absolute @ 2 MICRONS. This should help in the reduction of soot in the oil!

I have seen my own oil running back into the engine from the Amsoil by-pass in a very short time... ... ... ... ... ... . less than 20 seconds when it is cold outside.

I'm wondering what the concern is about cold temp oil flow in a bypass oil filter at engine startup?



Perhaps some are confusing the engine lubrication function/capabilities of a bypass vs a full flow filter?



A bypass oil filter contributes virtually nothing as far as direct engine lubrication is concerned, that function is still accomplished by the full flow filter, without any added handicap from the bypass filter. SO, there's no danger or penalty as to engine wear or lubrication if it takes a a few seconds - or minutes - for oil to begin moving thru the bypass element at cold startup.

GAry,

You are absolutely correct! It is a "BY-PASS" and as such, will not effect direct engine lubrication! You could block it off, and there would be no difference concerning lubrication from the oil pump.

I was the one that asked the question above. My concern was not about any negative effects on the engine. I was just wondering how long it would take to for the volume of cold oil (very high viscosity) that was in the bypass fitler to flow out of the fitler during a very cold startup, say -5F. Lets say hypothetically it took 20 minutes for the cold oil to get pushed through (which I now know it doesn't) then if I only took 20 minutes drives the filter would sort of not be worthwhile to me during winter months for most of my driving because it would not be doing any menaingful filtering during the typically short drives I take in winter. No it wouldn't do any harm but would just be a waste of space/money for the winter months. But as I understand it from the data above, this is not the case.

Johnathan,

The Engine oil I use has a "Pour point" of -47 F! I think it will flow pretty good at -5 F.

Where I am from sometimes it gets darned near that cold!
