So I've got a spin on oil filter adapter plate that came with some other stuff. So I went down too my local $1000 dollar a month Napa to buy a spinnee on filter for my bike thinking how wonderful this would be for my aforementioned bikes innerds. Anyway after being handed The box I opened it and was a bit lost. It was small I mean really small, smaller than the stock cartridge filter. So around the counter I go,back to the books. In the back where all the specs are we compare
Micron rating
Spin on 21 micron
Cartridge 21 micron
Media type
Spin on glass enhanced cellulose
Cartridge glass enhanced cellulose
Flow rate
Spin on 8-10 gpm
Cartridge 9-12 gpm
Beta ratio
Also the same2/20=6/20
Filter area
Spin on has 13 percent less
The only other difference is little spin on has an 8lb bypass wich just sounds like un filtered oil from time to time. So I'm trying to figure out why everyone moves over to this type of filter? I'm not trying to pick a fight just trying to understand.
I do have some oil background. Our two otr trucks regularly pass 50k on an oil change running synthetic oil and 1micron bypass filters overseen by Mobil oil with monthly oil samples. My 14 liter Detroit went 100k 3 years in a row.
Is it the bypass? (Aiding in oil tube retention?) is the old design flawed or is it just the ease in filter changing? Not saying anyone is wrong I just was trying to determine the best way too go.
