Spin on Oil Fliter cooler

[aviationfred]

Has anyone used one of these, heard of one of these, or seen one used? Any opinions on the use of one of these to add a small amount of cooling??

I use a filter that is for a 1988 Acura Integra with a 1.6l engine.

How much cooling do you need Fred!!!!

[aviationfred]

With the 1300 build to commence this week and the 95*-105*F temps that I experience during the summer, I figure any extra cooling would be good....

I would think one of Randy's oil coolers would be cooling enough.  Dave

+1 for RPM oil coolers.

Looking at that sleeve I would guess it would trap more heat than it would shed.
I would hope one of those 2 Allen screws wouldn't poke a hole thru the wall of the filter case.
Things could then get very exciting........Vibrations do funny things.

I have the RPM oil cooler.

As said earlier, too much chance of puncturing the filter. It won't have sufficient contact with the filter to act as a heat exchanger......................... it's not in the air flow. I rest my case.

The sole purpose of that device is to extract 20-dollar bills from your wallet.

Wait... it's made from "weapons grade billet aluminum."  Oooooo....

Fred,

I have, in stock an oil filter with built in cooling fins.

Randy, Randy, Randy...That is not an oil filter. Stop saying that.

It a debris screen to keep metal chunks out of your oil system. There is no *real* filtering quality.

Don't make me get Ed involved.

40μ 'filtration'?  Seems to mutually exclusive, imo.  Buy a bigger cooler if you run hot.  I still feel you might as well put in a bypass plate as run a Scott 'filter'. 
A REAL filter http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/filters-and-by-pass-systems/oil/amsoil-ea-oil-filters/?code=EA15K20-EA

Let me know if you want to try one, or any other Amsoil products.

(Thanks for the plug, Pat!)

Nope, fix your carb jetting first. USA FJ's came jetted lean from Yamaha, courtesy of the EPA.

Fatten that bad boy up first.

Pat, I just checked the definition of "filter"; a porous device for removing impurities or solid particles from a liquid or gas passed through it.

It does not state what form of media or level of micron is allowed to pass; paper, screen, gauze, netting, etc.

Since I have added the Flo oil filter to inventory I have sold more than fifty and I have not had a single complaint or report of any engine troubles.

Here is an interesting video and I found a couple of years ago. It covers everything about filtration rating very well and is not biased to one specific brand.

I think the very last part of the video regarding bypass is the most important and all filters have them. So, basically if the filter traps too much the pressure rises, the bypass kicks in and then there is no filtration.

I guess at the end of the day, it would be great to know the specific information regarding the stock filter rating and then base your selection on a filter that is comparable or slightly better.

It is up to the consumer to educate themselves on the micron rating, claims of micron rating in oil filters; I just stock and sell what the customer is asking for.

Point taken Randy. I guess a screen is a filter...of sorts.

Excuse me, but it's getting windy here in the desert, and I've got to go close my patio sliding glass door...
....it seems that the screen door is not much in the way of a dust filter.

That just means you need a tighter mesh screen...
