Oil Filters Cellulose Oil Filter Media Vs The Space Age NANO Fiber Oil Filter Media

Your engines oil filter is seriously crucial to the life of your engine. The oil filters work is to catch and also hold pollutants and also other wear triggering particles suspended in the engine oil as well as hence protect against unpleasant wear that will shorten your engines service life.
Yet simply exactly how well does an oil filter" s media job at getting rid of pollutants from the oil?
For several years treated paper (cellulose) has been stuffed inside the oil filters can or cartridge in a pleated form to allow as much surface area as feasible inside the boundaries of any kind of provided sized filter.
When speaking regarding filtering there are two major things to think about. Effectiveness, meaning just how small of bits can the media capture and also ability, just how much pollutants the filter media can hold prior to the media starts ending up being packed and also circulation is lowered to an un-satisfactory degree.
Some years ago numerous business began mixing treated paper with a synthetic glass fiber and also this enhanced particle effectiveness considerably over simply simple paper.
So just exactly how efficient do we want the oil filter to be? In a perfect globe it would certainly obviously be desirable for the oil filter to capture 100% of all pollutants of all dimensions to one of the most infinitesimally tiny.
Being that this is obviously not possible from an engineering standpoint what bits are the most essential to catch to offer the finest real life wear defense?


Numerous research studies carried out in the industry have revealed that one of the most destructive contaminants are found in the 5 micron to 20-micron dimension array. (A micron is one millionth of a meter. For recommendation a red cell averages concerning 8 microns ... we're talking actually tiny here!) Particles smaller sized than 5 microns do have an impact on wear however to a much smaller level.
Based on ISO 4548-12 a widely approved multi pass sector filter efficiency test, typical pleated paper oil filters balance regarding 40% performance at 15 microns, implying on multiple go through the filter it captured concerning 40% of all the contaminants in the 15 micron dimension variety.
On the very same ISO test, oil filters making use of a paper/glass fiber mix captured approximately 80% of all fragments in the 15 micron dimension array; a huge boost in performance!
A couple of years ago though, an all brand-new oil filter media was presented to the automotive and also light vehicle market. Using an area age artificial NANO fiber this modern filter supplies a level of efficiency not seen prior to in vehicle oil filters.
On the ISO 4548-12 test this new room age filter media has proven to be 98.7% reliable at 15 microns. An order of size better efficiency. It likewise has proven to be very reliable to listed below the 5-micron limit that is most crucial to avoid engine wear.
Yet what about that really essential attribute of oil filter efficiency: dirt-holding capability? Just how much pollutant the oil filter can hold prior to its full as well as oil flow is reduced to an un-satisfactory degree.
Cellulose filters are restricted in capacity by the very paper that comprises their filter media. Paper has a tendency to have a hodge podge of differing dimension fibers as well as filaments that make up the tiny pores that the oil flows with.
Evaluating has revealed that as high as 40% of the media in a cellulose filter passes nothing and also is totally blocked drastically lowering the capacity of the oil filter as well as the number of miles that it can be made use of.
Artificial NANO fiber filters on the various other hand have filaments that are quite smaller as well as are uniform in size as well as form as well as 100% of the oil filters media is 100% flowable. This provide the artificial NANO fiber oil filter not just a 90% plus decrease in oil pollutants yet the capacity to last 2 to 5 times much longer in service.
Yet what do these numbers suggest in the real life of electric motor oil sanitation?
I just recently carried out an impromptu filter test on a close friends 1998 Toyota Avalon just for the sake of my very own interest.
At 81,000 miles my buddy altered the oil on his car utilizing a typical brand of petroleum oil and an OEM filter. At 2000 miles I drew a sample as well as had the fragment count checked out making use of a sector common pore clog particle examination.
We after that installed a synthetic NANO fiber oil filter on the Toyota and also after an extra 2000 miles pulled one more sample and had it checked for bit count by the very same pore block method, and also by the exact same lab. The Results were impressive!
OEM oil filter ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... NANO Fiber Oil filter @ 4 Microns =1,864 bits ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...... 121 bits @ 6 microns=1,002 bits ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...... 70 particles@14 microns=173 fragments ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 9 fragments @ 25 microns=37 fragments ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 2 bits @ 50 microns=5 bits ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 0 particles@100 microns=0 fragments ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...... 0 fragments As is noticeable from this examination, the artificial NANO fiber oil filter minimized the oils sub 25-micron fragment count by greater than 90% as well as kept that percent of decrease listed below the vital 5-micron array where as the cellulose filter showed significantly greater particle counts below 25-microns suggesting a lot higher degrees of rough contamination. Substantially a sample of the oil taken"new-from-the-bottle"had an ISO cleanliness rating of 18/16/14. ISO prices an oils tidiness at 4-6-and 14 microns meaning out of the container the oil showed 18 bits in the 4 micron variety, 16 bits in the 6 micron array as well as 14 bits in the 14 micron array. After having been utilized in the Toyota for 4000 miles, the last 2000 with the artificial NANO fiber oil filter, its ISO cleanliness ranking checked 14/12/10 meaning the oil was cleaner after 4000 miles of usage and being filtered with the NANO fiber oil filter than it was brand-new in the bottle! Do not construe this as stating that brand name brand-new motor oils are dirty. They are not, although all new electric motor oils have some small contaminants and also some brands are much cleaner than others. While this test I did could be lacking in total scientific controls for screening and it was executed on just one automobile the outcomes are regular with those of hundreds of other well regulated sector research studies as well as I think the results would certainly be simple for anybody in the oil/filter sector to duplicate. SAE documents released by Cummins, Detroit Diesel and also various other engine manufacturers have actually revealed conclusively that reducing bits in the 5 to 25 micron array significantly lowers wear and can prolong the engines life by 25 %or even more. There are various other advantages of the artificial NANO fiber oil filter over its cellulose and cellulose/ glass fiber relatives. In subzero temperatures a cellulose filter can be totally blocked due to the fact that condensation( water )in the oil freezes and broadens inside of the filter medias fibers and also blocks oil circulation. The artificial NANO media is not influenced by condensation and freezing temperatures making it well suited to make use of in cool environments. The NANO Fiber oil filter additionally can increase the life expectancy of the engines oil. Particulates in the oil are drivers for oxidation so having a filter with the ability of eliminating most particle issue will certainly slow oxidation, help preserve the oils acid combating abilities (TBN levels )and considerably prolong the life of the motor oil. The synthetic NANO fiber oil filter really provides it all when talking automobile filtration. Incomparable impurity elimination and also 3 to 5 times a lot more ability and solution life making it an extremely price efficient acquisition.
Amsoil Inc presented the very first fully synthetic motor oil to meet American Petroleum Institute needs in 1972. Today Amsoil is thought about the world leader in artificial lubrication and also high tech auto purification.
