Good evening cruiserheads,
I've been reading on the internet and asking questions by email etc about
bypass oil filters capable of removing particles down to 1 micron in size!
The advantage claimed for this type of filtering is that virtually all
contaminants are removed from the oil which can then be used for extremely
long periods. Apparently oil does not deteriorate but it's additives can and
do. The removal of all these extra contaminants means the additives aren't
having to neutralise them and hence last much longer. This also applies to
water which is removed by the filter. The original filter remains in place
removing the large particles but it seems, like the oil, it can now be used
for a lot longer.
So to question time;
Has anyone used this system either on a Landcruiser (ideal) or any other
vehicle over an extended period?
The filter is fed from an adaptor under the oil pressure switch but needs a
free flowing drain back to the sump. It occurred to me that the turbo oil
drain might be ideal but are there any other options that any of you know
about?
If anyone has any knowledge of this please share it - before my letter goes
off to Santa...haha.
Thanks,
John
