head gasket is leaking liny bit    so i got suggested to use Penz HD-30 and always a heavy dutie oil stabalizer with pure one filter (tried K&N no difference, just blowing money away)

oil stabalizer helps, leaking much less than without it

think of the image on the left as a Fram oil filter. image on the right is almost everyone else.



now. the circle on the left is the oil filter screen size that EVERYONE used to have. image on right is now. the number represents how many "holes" there were for your oil to pass through if you had a Fram.


now. what happens if we take our stock exhaust system and make it a 1 inch pipe? exhaust restriction which causes very bad back pressure.

once again, the image on the right in the first picture is almost everyone elses screen design. PUH-LENTY of room for your cars life-blood to pass through while still "filtering".

when your oil is being restricted, it backs up. when it backs up, it creates sludge. when it creates sludge your engine goes into shock. This has been going on for 15+ years, thus the need for an oil that has "Advanced sludge protection".

"But Shiano, if it's been going on for that long why is Fram one of the leading filter companies?"
"Yeah man, my dad never had any problems with Fram."

Simple. Your dad bought Fram. His dad bought Fram. His dad bought Fram. His dad bought a Fram. Back in the day when the screens were the 5000 size, Frams were good. Today they are basically your dirty sock stuffed into a soup can.
You won't see the damage a bad oil filter causes until it's too late. Whatever internal part is broken because of it won't seem like the oil filter at the time because you'll simply think "Well, the car does have some miles on it."

There is an early 80's Honda Civic that had 500,000 miles (one owner) on it because the guy took it to Honda for ANY servicing. The manager was looking over the paperwork for the week and saw the mileage on the Civic. He faxed it on up the line and they sent one back telling him to offer the old man a new Civic that was dollar for dollar what he paid for it off the showroom floor when he bought it new. The old man agreed and they set up a "turn in day" for him. After he turned it over to the dealership a group of THE Honda technicians started going over the car in the parking lot checking things before it was loaded onto the truck and taken to the Honda test labs.

Original Tranny
No major engine work ever had to be done to it. just simple routine maintenance. I can guarentee you a Fram filter never touched that Civic.

Ok, toss Fram out the window, they suck.  Do you think we could manufacture a filter for super cheap that has absolutely no filtration of any kind, but is the cheapest on the market? It would be a great marketing scam, we can make lots of money of unsuspecting people.

We will make a contract w/ wally-world to get all their old used filters they take off at their TLE's. Hollow them out completely, repaint them w/ cheap spray paint,  then re-sale them at wally-world for half the price of other filters.

lol, u guys are terrible...well...at least it will work better than the tornado does

ooo, ooo, we could put a tornado in some of them and call them "micro-filtration" filters!

these filters not only filter your oil, but they start a spinning motion on it so that it goes into your engine at a higher rate of speed for better lubracation… that's the sales pitch for that branch of the filters.

DANG IT!!! our plans have been foiled!! i swear my house must be bugged or something. eventho we're just having fun, my friends and i have discussed "inventions" in the past and, low and behold, within a few months to a year we'll see that very product (or a close facsimile) on the market.

DARN YOU NAPA!!!
i can't believe that i practically describe that filter and had not idea it exists… freaky. i wonder how effective something like that is anyway??
