Oil Line Filter Kit

[arronm]

The earls one off ebay I could go and pick up today, or the Motorsport connections one I will have to wait till next week, for them to post it with easter round the corner.. Then again it'll have to wait till then anyway to get fitted, cause I aint doin it myself?

So which one to get.. is its all the same?

just grab the earls

Thanks, but Mick from Pitlane has them in stock, and hes gonna fit it for me.. Im not sure which one he uses but it seems its much of a muchness anyway..

Has any1 got one installed.. if so.. recommended or should I just get a turbo timer?

they are a pretty big set up meant for industrial diesel engines

85 micron will be fine.

Just to give you an idea how small that is, 70 microns is the thickness of a human hair.

Just under 80 microns is equivalent to 3 thousandths of an inch.

Table salt is 100 microns.

Visibility limit is 40 microns.

Bit of useless trivia for the day.

85 micron is massive, more of a strainer than a filter

but it's filtered oil in that line anyway

[Ralph Wiggum]

Its more a screen than a filter. I just consider it cheap insurance that could save the bearings if there's another large engine failure that dumps a lot of shite into the system

Earls actually list the 'oil' filter version as 140 micon. The one most, including the earls kit on ebay, use the 85 micron version which is actually listed as a 'fuel' filter.

This is the very reason I will always have a filter/screen fitted to my car.

Engine failure, although usually not expected, can be costly and if the damage has caused issues with the turbo then that's just an additional cost you don't need.
