- There is NOTHING you can do for a reciprocating engine,
- (Car, Truck, Tractor, OR
- Expensive airplane engine)
- That is more beneficial than a plain old oil filter…. PERIOD!

|
- All moving parts in a reciprocating engine are separated by a film
strength of oil which is .001” thick or 20 microns.
- The more efficient the oil filter, and the more particles down to 20
microns that you remove from the oil flow, the slower the engine wears
out.

- The original oil screen was never
designed to filter oil.
Its sole purpose is to tell you when your engine is making metal.
- Commonly used words for oil screen
- Rock catcher
- Rock strainer
- Catches only objects with part numbers

- A Screen, any screen, regardless of how small the wire mesh is, has no
dirt holding capability whatsoever!
IT IS PHYSICALLY NOT POSSIBLE.
- Plain Old Dirt
[Silica, Sand, Dust, Grit, Dirt, Glass Beads etc]
is what wears an engine out.

- Look at all the airplanes that fly into Sun N’ Fun every year without
even an air cleaner! These planes sit in the worlds biggest cat-box with
the worlds most expensive vacuum cleaner on their nose.
- Where do you think all this dirt goes?
Into the engine oil of course. They effectively have lubricated
sand paper running through their engines.

- The frequency of the oil changes means little if you do not have an oil
filter in the lubrication system.
It doesn’t matter if you change your oil every 10 hours; if you
get dirt into the oil right after the oil change, it will circulate
until the next oil change.

|
- However, we hear comments like “My engine leaks so much and burns so
much oil, I never change it, I just keep adding more.”
- Most likely, this operator has never done an oil analysis. If he had, he would be shocked to see
how high the silica content and wear metals were in his oil.

- Oil filtration is all about the velocity of the oil flow and the surface
area of the filter.
FRAM Surface Area VS Engine Oil Screen
641 SQ IN 31 SQ IN
- There is 20 times as much surface area in the FRAM
- The reason oil filters are pleated is to maximize the surface area so
you can slow the oil down to a point that the dirt and wear metals can
be removed.

- Our Gorilla Kits were designed around a FRAM NASCAR racing filter that
has a 20 GPM capacity.
- The largest Champion oil filter has a maximum flow rating of 12 GPM ,
with 50W oil. Our competitors
claim 20 GPM flows on the Champion.
How do you force 20 GPM through a filter that can’t handle more
than 12 GPM ?

- 98% Efficient at 38 Microns
- 20 GPM flow rating
- 641 sq/ inches of Hi Flow/ High Efficiency media
[4” Wide X 13.5’ Long]
- Internal pressure relief valve
- Internal screen covers oil bypass valve
- 400 PSI Burst Rating

- You always filter the oil at its hottest point, right after it leaves
the engine.
- The hotter the oil is, the easier it is for the filter to get rid of the
dirt. Imagine dirt in THICK cold molasses and dirt in THIN hot baby
oil. It is far easier to filter
dirt from hot, thin oil.
|

|
- Keeps your oil cooler from becoming a trash collector.
- In the event of an engine failure, the metal will be trapped immediately
in the oil filter, minimizing the damage to the rest of the engine. A simple piston failure may no longer
mean a major rebuild.
|

21
|
- Easiest installation of any kit on the market
- Clamps around engine mounts from 1” to 1-3/4” OD
- Uses bulkhead fittings instead of NPT fittings
- Allows 360° orientation of fittings and hoses
- Viton O-Rings under compression, keeps it leak free
- Can still use MIL6000 hose if desired
- Ready for Airwolf chip detector (soon to be released)
- Will be able to manifold (2) kits together for 40 GPM
flows, to work on R2000 & larger engines
