Remote bypass oil filtration

[asher25]

Just went to MOA Ace Hardware to confirm fake Purolators, and I think they do sell them fake stuff. They have only the bottom plastic as well. Its' P499. Vic C-313 is sold at P900+!!!





However, the air filter seems made of good stuff.

ito yung date code ng L30001 cx901, parang eroplano ng cathay pacific ah..
i think they are mixing a counterfeit and real one.. i checked the other filter L20064 is has a different date code which the same as what dvldoc posted date code is like this F05A 07C1 Made in USA,MEcho
en EE.UU fabrique Aux esta-unis an d it's written on the side and not at the top of the filter and has country
of manufacturing Purolator Filter,NA LLC,Fayetteville,NC 28306 posted
at lower part where pre install..and on the base where has a holes i
can see a number wrritten on the metal.. i think it a real one..
hope so cause i gonna use it..

what can you say about air filter? how about air filter how can check if real or imitation?

[dvldoc]

Sounds like you got the real deal now, It's got all the stuff it needs. I would use that filter.

Air filters are kinda the same real or fake, Some may have less pleats so less surface area and flow will vary from filter to filter but as long as the cellulose media is even and the seams of the filter are good it really does not matter that much. It will still filter better than a K&N if your worried about particles entering your engine. Paper filters are better at doing the job that gauze ones.

Also like I said before the Titan Golds are a good filter to use as well, Even if they come from Pacer they will still be real and they are basically fleetguard filters under a different name and there is zero market for counterfeit for the Titan gold. Almost nobody knows who they even are but they are a solid filter and way better than OEM or VIC.

Be careful changing out fuel filters for a larger one or custom one make sure it has the same flow as your factory set up. Many Toyota's and Nissan's with the single fuel water separator style filter are inside-Out Flow Direction which is opposite of standard fuel filters. I found out about this about a week ago from a friend that did this on his engine, He decided to switch out the stock one with one with the same thread patter that was much larger and had no sensor port just the drain. Well the vehicle would not run no matter how much he primed the filter.

Switched it back to stock started right up. He could not figure it out, but I did

Always do your own cross reference if your not sure about what your putting on your vehicle, just because it will physically fit does not mean it will work.


To a new topic, How many have done the Do it yourself oil catch can yet? It really helps out on diesels and a very good ideal on gas engines to keep the oil out of your intake and clogging your PVC valve.

Here's a few super cheap ways you can do it vs a 3000P or 4000P catch can.

The good old air compressor filter.




Or even cheaper and just as effective (especially for gas engines) use a simple clear inline fuel filter, You can just empty it out whenever you need and requires only hose clamps or zip ties to secure and only 1 cut to the hose.




If you can find one with 1/2" barbs it will work with most turbo diesels. Some are also 3/8" but most gas engines the 1/4" barb will work for you and should be easy to find.

Have no ideal why it posted the pics like that but here are the other two examples.




I have a inline fuel filter like the clear on pictured on our Nissan Altima, You would be surprised how much it catches in 3 months. About a spoon full.

And upgrading size of fuel lines like filter size (say from 3/4-16 to 1-14) and fuel hose also increases the work required for the fuel pump. Analogy is a straw in a glass.. You have to suck more to get the juice if you will be using a larger straw..
Solution is to use a lift pump like the one used in FASS.. downside is the additional maintenance for the pump.

The nav got a big 5/8 hose (or slightly larger) on pcv. Im still on the scratchboard because the fuel filter catch-can seems to be restrictive as compared to the compressor-air filter.. Need to shop around for a big air filter.. Another challenge is the reversal of bleed/drain valve..

hi doc!

so does that mean the titan gold filter is also made in the US? and the titan gold brand logo is only slapped when it arrives at the retailer's country? is that how it goes?

I already crossed checked and there is an available filter for the 4m41 from TG now I'm torned in between if what I'm gonna use first as Im also about to get a baldwin BD28...

Titan gold should be produced at one of Fleetguards Facilities, I'm not sure which one but I am pretty sure it's the UK since they hold the UK's (UKAS quality management certificate), They will all have a country of origin on them. It is only distributed tho South East Asia through Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. I will find out who else sells these in the Philippines on Tuesday. But as Far as I know Pacer is the only seller for these, which I would buy from them since I know they are not fakes unlike some of there Fleetguards.

But Titan golds should be identical to it's Fleetguard cross reference internally.

Plus they look cool

i got one titangold LF16370XL cost 400p replacement fo vic c524...the gasket is already pre lubricated oil,it has crimps on gasket...i think its better than vic

[dvldoc]

Thanks to your fellow Tsikot member you can clearly see that ACE hardware sells fakes Purolators but they also have real ones. You can see the clear difference so if you want a good filter that is superior to VIC just know what to look for. Country of origin is the dead give away of a real one and no plastic on the bottom as well as the complex date code.

Real



FAKE

*dvldoc,

Can you comment on Magnetized Oil Trap? is it effective? can it help on the cleaning of dirt in oil?

I read a column about it and there are some makers like The Bear Trap and FILTERMAG. In that column, it says also that you can use a magnet from the PC Hard Disk.

Magnets can help out a good oil filter. Magnets collect ferrous metals (metals that contain iron). Ferrous metal are usually the hardest metals in a motor and can do the most damage left unchecked. Some cars are manufactured with a magnetic drain plug already installed in the oil pan. If the car doesn't already have one, a magnetic drain plug can be purchased

There are several types of oil filter magnets on the market.. Simple fridge magnets would be better than nothing. But there's no way to guarantee that a weak magnet will stay on the oil filter while the car is in motion. Rare earth magnets are more than strong enough to not require mechanical fasteners to cling onto the oil filter. A strong magnet with a large area can pull iron particles from a fast moving stream of fluid much better than a small weak magnet. ...

just know i install some magnet on my filter and on the oil pan... let' see how it work.. i'm about to change oil...hehehheehehe

Here are a few shots of the Titan golds from PACER. Some titan golds do have plastic only at the bottom but it's to protect the pre lubed gasket. Fake filters just have the plastic and a dry gasket. You will also notice the serious center tube on these things for high flow, Fakes tend to have a smooth wall center tube with just normal holes. The Titan gold is designed for high flow.

Pretty solid looking filter. Remember these are only made for the Asian market. also all these Fleetguards got locally in the Philippines are the real deal.

[locoroco777]

doc, should I also search for country of origin when Im buying titan gold?

[dvldoc]

Honestly I am not sure if it has it on the filter, They are made for fleetguard but not by Fleetguard. The plant is in the UK as far as I know. But like I said there is no market for fake Titangolds. Especially since it's not a true US brand even though it is the same quality of the normal fleetguard filters.

how do we cross reference the titan gold filters?
looking for a cross ref for a bd7016

You sure about that part number, It does not even pull up on Baldwins site.

For Titan gold just go to this link but you need to know the OEM number for your filter. or another vehicles oem number that is the same.

Titan Gold ? Lube Filters easiest way to do it is go to the link and hit CTRL F on your computer then type in the number and hit find.

What vehicle and engine is this for?
