SUBJECT: Greatly Extended Engine Life

  I thought you might be interested in a system that
many of us have used for many years. Instead of
allowing your oil to get dirty and wear the precision
parts of your engine then draining it like the oil
change industry recommends we simply never allow the
oil to get dirty. The military is going to this system
which has greatly increased our credibility. It saves
our natural resources, it saves the equipment, and
saves the equipment owner a lot of money. If after
reading the attached facts you would like additional
information please contact me by E Mail and supply your
snail mail address.

     These engine owners have avoided the reasons for
all oil changes and most engine wear:
     Reason One - Dirty motor oil. This is caused by
poor filtration.
     Reason Two - Extreme oil temperature. This is
caused by an inadequate cooling system.
     Reason Three - Extreme coolant or fuel
contamination. This is caused by internal leaks such as
leaky head gaskets or ruptured fuel pump diaphragms.
     Reason Four - Short trip driving. Oil must reach
operating temperature long enough to evaporate normal
fuel or condensate contamination (135 degrees F
gasoline, 148.7 degree diesel).
     Reason Five - Poor quality motor oil. Never use a
motor oil that doesn't meet both API services CD and
SH. (The C in CD means compression ignition and the S
in SH means spark ignition).

     Whether to use synthetic or not can be determined
only by the equipment owner. It depends on price,
temperature, oil consumption and other factors. Regular
oil will last as long as synthetics. The key is proper
filtration. Some say yes, but the additives are used
up. This is true, but additives last much longer in
clean oil. Adding makeup oil is sufficient to replenish
the additives used up.

     All of the large diesel engine filters use big
roll paper towels for a refill element. One roll for
the 0-1 model rated to 250 HP, 2 rolls for the 0-2
model rated to 500 HP. The small 0-1 junior rated to
100 HP uses a roll of 2 ply facial quality bathroom
tissue as an element. There have been attempts to
improve on bathroom tissue and paper towels as an oil
filter but without success. These filters are both
accepted and used by the US Coast Guard. The US Air
Force is buying them by the hundreds.

     As a fuel filter these filters have no equal.
Petroleum products and paper get along well together.
For the old question that has been asked since the
1930's - doesn't the paper get into the oil stream? -
It can't happen. The companies insurance company
wouldn't allow it if it could. They are now using
bathroom tissue to filter aircraft hydraulic oil and
fuel. Also used on light aircraft motor oil.

     These filters work very well for farm equipment,
both gas and diesel.

Title:    Don't Bypass Bypass Filters
Author:   Gelinas, Tom
Journal:  Fleet Equipment  Vol: 14   Iss: 7  
          Date:  Jul 1988   pp. 39-41
Abstract: 
     According to some estimates, 60% of the
     potential causes of engine wear and failure
     can be eliminated by a well-designed and
     properly applied filtration system.  Cummins
     Engine Co. recommends that both a bypass
     filter and a full-flow filter be used.  A
     bypass filter shunts 10% of the total oil
     pump output through a filter and then back to
     the sump, bypassing the engine.  Because this
     filter has high-pressure differential and low
     flow rate, it can filter out fine particles
     in the 5-micron range.  In contrast, a full-
     flow filter has a low-pressure differential
     and filters out only large particles in the
     40 micron to 60 micron range.  However, the
     full-flow filter is located so that all of
     the oil must flow through it before reaching
     the bearings.  The combination of these 2
     filter types gives double protection against
     wear.  Studies at the Cummins Technical
     Center indicate that wear can be reduced up
     to 91% by using a bypass filter in
     combination with a full-flow filter.
