Full Version: Ultrafilters
I was talking with Chris at Ultrafilter over the weekend. They're one of the sites new sponsers and when I clicked on the banner, I read on their web page that they have this billet oil filter than never needs to be replaced. Just cleaned every 7500 miles. I went ahed and bought one for my truck. It should be here tomorrow or Wednesday. I figure that for 99 bucks, considering that I'll never have to replace it again it's a safe investment. I was just wondering if any of you motor heads had tried these out on your trucks or rails yet.
As soon as they make one for an '03 PSD, I'll buy one. It'd be great not to have to buy a new one every time.
I have one on the Honda.....I got it for the same reason. I know my car is just a simple street mo sheen and not one of these high performance doo hickies, but it will definetly cut down on the cost of oil filters and I hear it gives me extra miles in between cleanings/oil changes.
PwrMad, I just checked. They allready have one for your new desiel.

Damn, that's quick. I looked when I first saw it in Slappy's sig and couldn't find one for it.
Thanks, I'm all over it.

Yeah, that's what was there awhile ago. I've got a 6.0l PSD. That's for a 7.3.
Well I have had them for my KTM motorcycle and two streetbikes for about 2 years now, they are made of stainless mesh and actually filter better than paper. They filter really well and hold up just as good. I figure that if they can be used on a motorcycle with a wet clutch and way more contaminents then they should be good for a auto. The only thing I can see different is the pressure bypass in auto filters. 
is that the same guy that was at the Kartek Off Road show?
That dude was saying 200-300 clams for one for an LS1.....
100 bucks is more like it!

I don't think is't the same guy. I know that there is another company out there that sells a similar filter but 200-300 bucks? Daaamn, that's steep. I didn't mind flippin out 100 but 2-3 just doesn't seem reasonable. IMO

Different guy, different company.
I don't know the particulars about it.
I'd rather throw away a $5 filter 20 times than clean a $100 20 times.
What are teh specs that make it better than a regular oil filter?
Full flow?
What micron filtration?
What does it use for filter media?
Is it easy for Joe Public to clean without messing up the media?
That's the big drawback to cleanable air filters. Once you've messed it up, dirt gets right thru it and you didn't save any money.

it filters to 10 micron 35 absolute, woven T304 stainless mesh
as for "bypass" that means only 1 thing- UNFILTERED OIL
I know in my sandcar i would not want UNFILTERED or BYPASSED oil in my engine out in the dunes and i really don't want it in my everyday driver with the ultrafilter every drop of oil is filtered check it out www.ultraoilfilters.com
Easy to clean with the supplied XK5 SUPER BLUE CLEANER in every
box easy "spray on wash off"

Both myself and Chris J own Ultrafilter. We are looking for some volunteers to pu these on buggies that are going to be on display at the SSSS this year. If anybody is interested, we would be more than happy to supply you with a filter and stickers for your car.
I have a Subi with a remote Oil filter adapter and I run a HP1 filter on it . How do I find out what filter # will fit ?

what gave you that idea?
I'm sorta smart that way!
I'm running a Scott re-usable on my quad, and so far it's been fine. Granted I'm not inside the engine looking around... It'll take a couple of seasons to pay for itself, I'm sure.

she's a thinker
so i just clean it in my SINK. I dont think the EPA is down with that, or my plumber. But if you got a solvant tank, i guess it works out. i did see the filtration specs and they seemed impressive. 
You can clean it with the solvent that is provided with the filter. dispose of the waste with your oil.
Seems like a pretty good deal. An oil change for my Duramax is like $60-70 each time (mostly because of the oil). However, I get my oil changes done for $35 at the dealership...and the do a look around, etc. Too bad a dealership wouldn't clean your filter for you 
Does an aftermarket filter like that void any warranties?

It does not void a warranty.
Is there one for my quad??
04 yfz450??
Might have to order a bunch of these
Truck 7.3 PSD
Expidition
LS1 for buggy
QUAD??
Damn, you guys are gonna put me in the poor house..

Chummin not sure if they sell one for your quad but I know Scotts makes one for it. I have one for my Crf450 mx bike.Check Motoworld in EC
We don't have one for quads yet. We are working on a prototype right now. We need to do some more research on the bike filters. You can go to the website www.ultraoilfilters.com and find the distributors there. We have on for all of the other applications Chummin.
Randy, how did that filter fit on your truck?
I put it on yesterday after work. I't went on easy. I didn't really need to change the oil yet but did anyway. Question. The guys at Toyota used to say that I only needed to change the oil every 5000 miles or so. Does that still stand or can it go longer? Just curious.
Actually you can go 7500 now without a problem.
looks cool, did'nt see any side by side testing that campared flow over the standard life of a paper filter, that would be nice to see. i like the zreo bypass for filtering, it seems as though your filter would clog up faster considering the consistant 35 micron rating, which is actually a good thing, but with no bypass seems like it could starve the motor. have you done any flow testing at 3k miles ?. any chance you have a fliter that will fit a 94-96 suburu legacy 2.2 motor ?
Results are going to vary. An older or poorly tuned motor with a K&N air filter will have more crap in the oil and clog faster. A new engine with a stock paper filter will introduce fewer particulates.
Your mileage may vary. The reason most oil filters bypass is to alleviate super high pressure against the filter media and in the container. Although my factory oil pressure gauge on my Dmax indicated 80 psi cold, the actual pressure exceeded 110 psi when the engine was new.
If someone cares enough about their engine lubrication to buy one of these filters, they should also run an oil pressure gauge. This will give you a pretty good idea when to change the oil as well as when to clean the filter. As the viscosity breaks down, you'll see a gradual pressure drop at a set temp.
If you see a sudden pressure drop, time to shut off the engine.

I guess that you would need a gauge on the inlet and outlet to see if it was actually the filter or the engine that is causing the odd pressure number. Pressure drop across the media.
I didn't see any provisions on the webiste for an anti-drainback valve in the filter. Is there one? My 6.5L GM needs one.
Carl
In the case I was referring to, I meant catastrophic oil pump, etc failure, nothing to do with the filter.

If you go to the website, You will see the test results compared to the paper filter. We also are running a filter right now on a Chevy Tahoe. We pull it apart every 3K to check it. So far we have 12k on it without a cleaning.

We have a filter that will fit your application. Part # ULT556 will fit that car.
I know I got one of these for my sandcar and for my truck as well they so far everything has worked out perfect.......along with working perfect they look perfect as well!!!!

We noticed a big change in our oil when we changed from our old "mesh style" air filter to the new TRUEFLOW.com 3 stage foam filter on our TT. The old filter was letting way too much dirt into the race motor. We changed to the new kind and it’s great.
We need to talk about an application for our TT power plant.
