    Has anyone tried using Hurricane drop in filters? It's made in Japan, stainless steel type and no oiling. Are they good? Does it have good filtration properties?

    Well if you want high silicon contamination in your oil then go for it. These filters are really for track use only, And if you have a turbo they are even worse for you. They simply do not provide enough filtration especially in high dust areas like the Philippines. They flow great, but with extra flow comes less filtration that is the trade off every time.

    Thanks for the info. Their marketing seems to be very aggressive nowadays.
