I remember Ben saying they're good, up there with Donaldson and Fleetguard.Quote:

Ryco's filtration is pretty coarse with their standard oil filters, the last specs I had for the Z9 were up around 30 micron nominal (beta2=30) when it was still made here and now the Z9 is sourced from China.....
Not sure how the Ryco syn media Z9 equivalent compares.
Having said that so are Donaldson and Fleetguards cellulose element filters as that's what the engine manufacturers used to spec. I'm guessing the old flow/filtration compromise.
The synthetic medias have rewritten the rule book.
At the end of the day the most important filter for an engine is the air filter, followed by the fuel filter for compression ignition engines, a bad one of either will cost big $ in repair bills. I really don't know if the difference between an exxy and average oil filter impacts much on wear and engine life. Real oil filtration only occurs down around the 1 micron level.
What do you mean by sticker shock?Quote:

I figure that with a quality brand centrifugal oil filter in place and changing every 10,000km it should be ok.Quote:

He oil tested everything.
The M-H by-pass filters were so good he ditched the Donaldson full flows for cleanable wire gauze baskets, and they never needed cleaning.
His fleet average oil change interval on a premium full syn 5W-40 engine oil was 96,000km.
MTU in Brisbane pulled one of his engines down with 1,000,000km on it as a demo at a seminar.
None/minimal sludge and all tolerances were within new spec. They reassembled it and put it back into service.
And here a picture of a genuine, note 2 ribs on top to support the elements VS 1 on the others, the finish on the genuine ones is not that good. Genuine is also labeled made in UK.Quote:

Has anyone fitted or know of a franz toilet roll bypass filter to a td5 or is lack of available room a problem
Why ? :confused:Quote:
