FLO oil filters?

[rfink02]

Didn't find anything searching... anyone have any experience with FLO filters? A bit expensive, but if it really stands up over time (and is effective) the value proposition might be there. Looks to be well made.

These don't filter very fine particles. You're better off with the Purolator Pure One. PL14610 or 14612= Shorter version.

I don't think 35 microns is all that small.How would you clean them and be sure you don't have any plugged holes?
I use a Purolater Pure One...PL14610

It seems to me that most paper filter elements are in the 40 micron range so this filter is right in the midst of them.

Actually, particles in the 25 micron size do damage to the internal bearings of the motor so any filter you employ on the motor is just to make you feel good. It's not doing the motor any good!

Changing the oil is the best defense against creating motor damaging contamination.  That's right, creating is the key word here, do you think contamination is caused by introduction from without?

If you were to change your oil every 2500 miles you could get away without having a filter actually since it is after that many miles on the oil where you start to build up motor damaging particulate matter.

The only real benefit to a paper filter is it's ability to remove water from the oil.

search, don't be afraid search is your friend,  been address many times.
I have written on it, that type of filter is a nascar item and only belongs on a race car. Smokey used them due to a paper filter aerating the oil at constant nascar high race rpms the reason it was developed.

For R-D,
a pureone filter filters down to 12 micron avg, most others 15-20. see wixfilter site they provide micron rating of their filters.
