pure power oil filters... anyone using them ?? ....

[Triton]

My only comments, from my motorcycle days, is that SS mesh will eventually plug off and need changed just like any other filter... particles get wedged into the screen that cannot be flushed out.

I can see where a SS screen would be more free flowing, but I do not see where it could catch the same size particles without becoming restrictive.

And as far as blowing through a new filter... I have blown through my new Fleetguards before without any issue... the fact is in a used filter, there is surface tension of the oil within the filter media... I could see the mesh not absorbing oil and therefore it would not have "a restriction", but air is one thing and fluid is another. How many of you can actually blow 5psi?? I doubt a single person... and we run a lot more than 5 psi. And I get over 20psi at idle downstream of the filter.

Sure the mesh will eventually become filled with particles but, that's when you clean it. Just like any filter would need to be changed. The difference with the SS would be... all you'd need to do it clean it rather than replace it.

The pure power filter also has a magnet inside to catch any metallic particles. That's where I think it would be comparible to a filter that filters down to very small microns.

I wouldn't think it could compare to a paper or fiber media ... . that's what they claim though.

I've never tried the blow through test but, I watch the pur power guy do it. Sure he could have been BSing but... . why ? If you want a product to be a hot ticket... you sure couldn't start BSing everyone as it WILL come out eventually.

Dave is not a user :-laf :-laf Seriously Dave,tell everybody how many miles you have on your truck. It already has a new cylinder head on it.

Bob

What do you mean he's not a user ? By the looks of his mods, I can see why he may have had to replace the head. Are you saying the filters he uses are the reason for the head replacement ?

Even on my motorcycles, there was a replacement schedule... usually every 100 hours, IIRC. It wasn't a cleaning schedule, it was a element replacement schedule. And you would see the particles in the screen that would not release during cleaning... and you would usually damage the screen trying to clean them out...



He could have been using an oil filter with a antidrain back valve too... the only flow from the outside in... :-laf That would lead to reproduceable results that the general public would not know...



I'm not saying they don't have a good product, but they also use gimicks to market them.



While I would consider using these on a race car or other engine that I knew would need torn down often for inspection/rebuilding anyway, I personally wouldn't use them (stand alone) on a daily driver (as a sole point of filtration)... they might be worthwhile with a bypass, but $200 is a WHOLE LOT OF FILTERS! That would equate to 200000 miles (10k miles per filter @ $10/per filter) in my application!!

. Bob made a comment that he tried a solvent tank parts cleaner, He really had no comment did it flow or did it not flow

My bet it did not flow.

David

Dave I told you on the phone right after I did it that it flowed. :-laf :-laf

It is very simple... ... ... ... ... if a standard design filter did not work,the engine would tear itself up. The bearings would show wear from dirt. The 5. 9 has proven it can go many miles with the standard filtration. Why blow a bunch of extra cash and more work cleaning filters?Because the filters were free to Dave! :-laf :-laf :-laf :-laf



Bob,running standard filters and original head with many miles

 

[Triton]

well, you guys have made some good points. I appreciate the input. I can't say that money is no issue but, I've spent a lot on my truck that I could have lived without. Another $200 would just be worked into the rest.

I've used SS filter for over 2 years now in my bike. I've yet to have to replace it because the screen is damaged. The whole point of a SS filter is you don't have to replace it. I used paint thinner to clean and it looks brand new when I'm done. . You mentioned not being able to get particles out of the screen. If you have particles that large... you have more problems than changing the oil.

I will bow to your expertise though and stick with my FS2500... for now :-laf

Bob,

I don't have the time to get in to this now but as far as getting staff free :--)

Lets see now you were a MR pro KORE race suspension guy because kent gave you a kore racing system for both of your trucks.

I talked you into checking out Carlis suspension and it took a long time to talk you into to checking it out. You did checked it out and sage, Carli gave you a 3" Carlis racing suspension system for free :--)

Now you are MR PRO CARLI because you got it for Free

So Bob were dose your loyalty lie

Its with who ever gives you something for free, Thats were your loyalty lies

How can you tell People Sage, Carli has the best suspension system when

you were always Bragging about KORE suspension system.



So Bob,

I know we can count on you to tell us the truth on who has the best system right

 

[Triton]

geeezzz! no wonder there was so many snickering smiley faces in those posts. Some of us have to work for everything we have. Makes things that I have much more appreciated.

 

[Bob4x4]

Dave,why do you come on here and lie? I paid for my KORE,Call Kent I am sure he will remeber. I think we have discussed that before.

Trust me you had nothing to do with my decision to buy Carli. I have paid for every product on both my trucks.

Every time you get your feelings hurt you come out screaming and telling untruths,Relax,take a deep breath and stop lying. No smiley faces just disappointed in your lack of honesty.

Bob,

Are you saying you also paid for your Carli system

I hope not.

 

[dsherman]

With every action theres a reaction

Bob,

With every action theres a reaction so if you don't like it stop your action therefore you will not get a negatve reaction

You take out all your actions (all your negatve post) Ill take out my reactions (all my negatve post)

I am running some test on those filters and I will post

I will be gone for 5 days camping with my old T-Rex system that I paid for

Bob, You need to stop attacking People



PS- Ill make this simple for you, You stop then Ill stop :-laf :-laf

Can't make it any easier then this :-laf :-laf

Bob,

I hope not.

Of course I paid for my Carli. He is running a bussiness not a charity for cheap ctd owners.

There you go lying again

Sage,Told me he gave you the 3" system :-laf :-laf

So who is lying :--) :--)

So Bob why do you have to post crap like this

Dose it make you feel like a big man :-laf :-laf

 

[dsherman]

I don't think his blow through test is valid... ... ... if it were we would not be travelling the miles we do. I went back to the shop and ran my parts washer through the filter media... ... ... ... case closed for me. Another engineer who wants to retire off the tdr members desire to spend money where it is not needed.

No outside company can tell you what will and will not affect your warranty. When that company post a bond to fight for you and your warranty then maybe take him as credible.



Bob

Bob, this statment is funny ("retire off the tdr members")

Are you talking about your self here it sure sounds like it :-laf :-laf

Actually, he did pay for it.

It doesn't VOID your Warranty!

Until you take it in and they say it caused the problem, and now you are your own warranty station.

Also you can't fool the ECM, the tuners that say they won't show up on the computer! They do!

 

[dpuckett]

Looks like Bob4x4 and dsherman need to just grow up and get lives of their own- their last half dozen posts each were in no way related to filtration of any sort, unless one refers to the horse manure WE have to "filter" through to get to any good points.
