Now you're on the mark....
Plus it's easy to remove a end cap and change filter.... also much smaller then the conventional spin on filter.... |
I went through the Gopower reusable oil filter thing on the Vett C5 forum. I wanted to get it, but never did. I only put a couple of thousand miles on my Vett a year, and I guess I am just kinda lazy. But, as in this case, nobody seemed opened minded to it at all. If it does filter better, and keeps flow up, why would you not want to use it? If it is protecting your motor more efficiently, what's to think about? Sure you have to take the time to clean it, and it costs alot in comparison to a disposable filter, but why say no? Im just curious :)

Oil filter study
The oil system has been a long drawn out process for me to sort out being dry sumped I have been playing mind games on whether to fit cooler on pressure or scavenge side, and what oil filter to use.
The outcome (today) is to run Cooler and the Canton 40gpm thermostat here in not so hot NZ, on the pressure side, going through a Canton remote cannister oil filter. After looking at all the different Oil filters, and its really obvious if you are serious about racing then you dont put a std filter on your car, generally people seem to use a good K&N, Moroso, Wix, Motorcraft, Fram HP and on it goes, the micron rating can vary from around 18 to 61 for the Wix Racing filter, also a lot of racers use stainless screen filters or around 30 - 45 micron, as they depend on oil flow to keep the engine alive...! Looking at the Canton Cannister style filters for my primary engine oil supply, one of which I have just purchased, I wonder why more people dont use these, as they flow 45gpm which is more flow than most filters and filter down to 8 microns and look a quality product, plus are quite compact compared to an HP6 Filter and remote adapter.! It seems as they have the spectrum covered both in flow and filtering with the type of filter material and deep filtering design. PS: Jac Mac I am going to keep an Aeroquip adapter in the tool kit if the oil cooler blows...LOL |
