By-pass Filters vs Factory Full Flow Filters Many Factory Full Flow Filters including popular and well known brands are only designed to remove the larger particles. A filter that removes particles 3/4 the size will reduce engine wear by 50%. FACTS * Although many manufacturers claim removal rates as low as 10 micron this is a nominal rating only and is virtually meaningless. Absolute rating is only one that counts.
* 90% of Full Flow Filters have great difficulty removing particles smaller than 20-25 micron. * Factory Full Flow Filters remove only some of the particles below 25 micron (generally a low percent) and not all of them. * Under independent tests conducted by the engine and automobile manufacturers and verified by the SAE many Factory Full Flow filters passed particles as large as 200 micron. * Most of the wear and tear in engines is caused by particles between 5 and 15 micron. * Very few Full Flow filters remove particles below 15 micron. Again only some and not all particles. * Particles remaining in circulation continue to abrade and wear until they are removed. * Fine filters that remove particles down to 10 micron in size compared to 40 micron are not 4 times more efficient but about 20 times with about the same reduction in wear and tear. * It makes no sense to just spend $20,000 or whatever on a vehicle when for a small amount of extra money you can install a filter, which can be transferred from vehicle to vehicle, that will cut oil costs by 80%, helps prevent wear and tear, and extends engine life (double at least guaranteed) by up to 4 or 5 times its normal expected life. * With the advent of synthetics and other improvements in oil technology oil life has been greatly extended but abrasives and contaminants remain the same and unless removed will greatly shorten engine life. It makes sense to remove the abrasives and contaminants rather than change the entire oil. * MIL-MAC By-pass Filters fitted in addition to your Factory Full Flow Filter remove virtually all particles and contaminants down to 1 micron and sub micron levels (0.1 micron) due to 130 times the surface filtration area. MIL-MAC has a proven track record of removing particles down to 0.1 micron (about as small as the particles in cigarette smoke). * Note: The vehicle manufacturers (who want to sell more vehicles), the oil companies (who want to sell more oil), and others with vested interests are not in a hurry to tell you all this.
