Choosing the Right Oil Filter Line for Your Automotive Business
Oil Filter Comparison, what do you know about oil filters? Are you aware of the difference between one and two stage filters? What makes one filter better than another? Is it the Brand Name, style, size, color, engineering? Ever wonder the who what, why, when and where about filters? Here is a picture of some of the types of filters and companies, which make them;

One of the best comparison studies we have found is this one:

Part three is a very interesting section. Discussing the importance of particulate matter. This is a good study and discusses primarily the best filter in terms of Ford Cars, mostly high performance and the study is an excellent work. If you look closely at this study you will see the differences in choices by a study, which is primarily interested in the performance of a ZR-1.

What most people fail to understand is that a filter is nearly as important as the choice of oil itself. Having owned many Turbo Charged cars, cars with blowers and various other components many of which use the engine oil to lubricate the rest of the components, which run at much faster RPM and generate much more heat than the engine itself I can appreciate this study which discusses the Trans Am Turbo. Big engine with Turbo, much different needs. If you want to get technical you will find very quickly that liars figure and figures lie. But racing professionals agree to disagree, all understand the significance, but when it comes to the figures, different numbers in charts, graphs and figures mean different things to other people. In my study of these studies I have left out those who do not admit that all data is up for interpretation, conjecture and opinion. Even if they are so convinced themselves they would swear by their findings. Jaime Salinas who works for Bosch is very fair in his comparison and study of studies.
AMSOIL has an interesting page full of charts, which is fair enough but of course is an example of graphs and charts to prove a point. Is Synthetic the way to go? They have done extensive studies which are posted on their website.
You decide. Oil, cars, and engines are a worldwide affair and some people overseas also see things different than us. There are many interesting comparisons and worthy of your reading, worthy of a 'Google' search indeed. We want everyone to know that we know the results and the tests and the claims and we are there for our customers. When it comes to protection, we are there for our customers, are you?
