Oil Filters

SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life®

100% SYNTHETIC MEDIA SUPER FILTERS
Semi-Permanent replacement for Cellulose media Oil Filters

Description

The SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life® Oil Filters may look the same as the conventional Oil Filters that they replace, but the similarity ends there.
The SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life® Oil Filters offer superior performance well beyond that of conventional oil filters, including:

• Cleaner Oil
  • Substantial improvement in multiple-pass filter efficiency
    (95% vs. 80% for conventional filters)
    is achieved through the use of synthetic MicroGlass fibers in the filter media
• Wire Backing
  • protects the filter media from tears and provides uniform spaces between each pleat for improved oil flow.
• Improved housing to base crimp
  • reduces potential for Filter Failure due to Pressure Build-up
  • outperforms conventional filters by 2.5 to 1
    in hydrostatic pressure testing (steadily increasing pressures)
• Thicker gauge housing
  • reduces potential for Filter Failure Due to Repeated Pressure Surges at Start-up
  • outperforms conventional filters by 3 to 1
    in cyclic pressure impulse testing (SAE J806, 0-100 PSI @ 0.5 Hz)
• Non-stick Gasket
  • Permits easier Filter Removal after use

Key Benefits

• Longer Service Life
  • from 1 Year or 15,000 miles**
  • to up to 5 Years or 50,000 miles**
  • 2 Years or 25,000 miles
    - or -
  • 3 Year or 36,000 miles
    is typical for most applications**
    • ** Based on filter size relative to typical oil flow (volume per minute) at operating temperature
• Greater Filtration Capacity
  • Traps up to 5 times more contaminants*
• Lower Oil Flow Resistance
  • Improves Filtered Oil Flow by up to 80% @ 30°F (-1°C)
• Greater Filtering Efficiency
  • Traps particles that are up to 4 times smaller*
    (10 microns vs. 40 microns)
    

* when compared to Conventional Cellulose media Oil Filters,
   Test Results based on SAE J 1858 Testing Procedure

Other Benefits

The SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life® Oil Filters outperform conventional filters in several key tests:

• Single pass efficiency (SAE J806) of 98% vs. an 85% average for conventional filters.
• Multiple pass efficiency (SAE J806) of 95% vs. an 80% average for conventional filters.
• Hydrostatic burst strength of 600 PSI vs. 240 PSI average for conventional filters.
• In pressure impulse fatigue testing (SAE J806, 0-220 PSI @ 0.5 Hz),
  over 25,000 cycles vs. less than 1,000 cycles to failure for conventional filters.
• Synthetic MicroGlass filter fibers create smaller, more consistently sized openings,
  which improves oil flow and traps smaller (8 to 10 micron) contaminants
• All metal end cap construction along with wire backing of synthetic filter media and steel coil spring loading of the filter element provides for "grounded" construction which eliminates "static build-up".

Filtration

SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life® Oil Filter technology uses special synthetic glass microfibers that are about 10 times smaller than conventional cellulose filter fibers (shown below). This allows a full flow oil filter to have following performance:

• 99% particle removal that are 10 micron in size
• 98% particle removal that are 7 micron in size
• 95% particle removal that are 5 micron in size

Typical Cellulose Filter Media - SynLube™ MicroGlass™ Media

Most manufacturers that make low cost filters do not disclose or advertise any data on their products filtration range or efficiency, but research done by General Motors indicates following:

• Typical low cost oil filter will remove about 40% of particles in 8 to 10 micron range
• Typical OEM oil filter will remove about 72% of particles in 8 to 10 micron range
