Why Go Synthetic?

[jtanguay]

I haven't developped any oil leaks on my car.  ran synthetic in winter for 4 months.  Started like in summer... at least crank wise   :lol:

I did notice a little bit of oil loss, but probably because of the engine being 'loose' when real cold.

Awesome  this  is an amazing product, but I wonder at that filter rate will the flow rate decrease and have you oil pump work harder to to pump the oil through the filter.


 I believe I could run the normal filter and then have the FS-2500 filter running inline to the Turbo., but would the extra filtering create a lag on the pump.   Could I starve the turbo and oil entering back into the  motor........

I sent an email to the site, and will hopefully hear back with some pricing,  a filter that can filter like that  makes me think that we could push our diesels into  600K no problem...........

I just switched to mobil delvac1 5w 40...
so far no noticeable leaks.....  maybe I got
1000+  miles on the oil..... the motor has
 about 140K on a 91 N/A... Jetta
I cleaned up the motor when I did motormounts
and som e bozo would drain the filter and just let
it run all over the place........
If I see leaks I will post........ so far so good...

I hope so, my newest purchase is at 500k

Please keep us posted with what they reply

do I hear a group buy?!  If the price is right lol

i'd have to say that yes, the oil pressure will drop, but keep in mind that the fs 2500 will not 'steal' that much pressure.  if the oil had to go through the fs 2500 before going to your turbo, definitely.  but since there is dual lines, it will only use a negligable amount of pressure, and work very slowly.  under high rpm I believe the oil would simply bypass the restrictive filter, but still provide a small amount of filtering.

every diesel engine should have one of these.

I agree completly,  I haven't gotten an email reply I will call tomorrow,  but I believe for any year and make and mileage diesel this is king,  if the price is right, I will be installing this in an NA diesel motor wil low milleage and have the oil tested for it's quality.

The best part is that you don't have to sell it when you sell your car Which is great for diesel whores like me that can't keep a car for more then a year

http://filtrationsolutionsww.com/dealer_information.htm From what I have seen on other lists, you're not going to beat the price on the eBay link previously posted on this thread.  (I have seen $500+ for all parts needed for complete installation.)
These bypass filters are not full flow.  You shouldn't use the output to feed your turbo.  It only filters a small percentage of your oil at any given time, but because it does such a good job, over time it ends up cleaning all your oil better.  This is also why a proper setup won't appreciably reduce oil pressure as seen at your gauge.   One of our service reps used to work for Bombardier's locomotive division, and he says the only time they changed their oil was when they rebuilt the engine.  Other than that they used bypass filters, and used regular oil sampling. (We use Wearcheck, but I don't think they do testing for individuals.) You might try:

I use Dyson Analysis. Terry rocks!  He really gets into the results and breaks it down so that it is easy to understand.  He also helps  to isolate any issues you might have and gives recommendations as to what you need to do to fix any problems.

You shouldn't use the output to feed your turbo.

precisely as stated in my post above

mainly just stating that the fluid will travel the less restrictive route, not much unlike electricity

I'm still trying to get a hold of the guy selling the bypass filters for $190.  I'm positive that I can get a brass tee from home depot for my oil pressure sender.  i can either make my own hoses, or bend over for some nice steel braided ones!  :lol:

I would also install a pressure line to show how much pressure is going to the bypass filter.   If it ever went above 1-3 psi, then something would be wrong, no?  

also, I must give props to Hillfolk'r for enlightening me to the fs-2500 thanks a bunch!!!  everyone wants one now

[jtanguay]

i'm gonna get this t fitting, and then make some oil lines once i buy that bypass filter i'm in business

too bad the part is out of stock... argh time for home depot

[jtanguay]

for those who care someone's posted up some more FS-2500 bypass filters on ebay

Here we go again...............

 A couple of guys going at it.... regarding filtration.........
It is good reading but, not conclusive of anything.....
I would like to find some post of some unbiased non-advertised
info..................... regarding these or the amsoil filteration
setups.............. Yes, I agree more is better but, How much
bettter.....
  Anybody know of any conclusive posts regarding these
filters true affectiveness...(not advertising.)

You can always review others installs and experience on bobistheoilguy

That secion is for by-pass filters. You could also review the used diesel oil analysis section and look for the setups that have a by-pass setup installed and read how well their analysis have turned out.

There has to be a ton of different setups out there that people have posted on.  

Most other sites you might find would more than likely be advertisements to promote their product.[/url]
