The filter element is made from medical grade, type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth providing
unmatched protection against oil contamination and resultant engine damage. A
one inch square of this material flows an incredible 1.9 gallons of oil per
minute at only 1 PSI pump pressure. The adhesive used in the filter assembly
process is good to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, far above normal engine operating
temperatures. A super strength nickel-plated neodymium rare earth magnet is
installed in the top of the element for magnetic pre-filtering of the oil. The
unique twist lock design allows for easy disassembly, inspection and cleaning.
The quad-ring gasket doubles the seal between the filter and the engine.
Finally, the filter housing is carved out of a solid chunk of 6061T6 billet
aluminum, which not only looks trick but aids in dissipating heat.

Stainless Steel Oil Filter be cleaned frequently when first purchased or when
engine work has been performed. This will give you a feel for how much debris is
being filtered out of your machines oil and help you decide how often you want
to clean the filter for your application. At minimum, clean the filter with
every oil change. Remember, oil is the lifeblood of your machine, keep it clean!
Wash the
reusable stainless steel filter element in clean solvent, kerosene, aerosol
carburetor cleaner or any other degreasing agent; even common dish soap and
water. If inspection of trapped debris is desired, flush the particles into a
light colored, clean container. Once clean, lightly blow air through the filter
from the inside out to remove any small particles or cleaning agent from the
screen. Finally, if you have a spin on model, clean the inside of the filter
housing using the same type of cleaner as used on the reusable filter element.
