have you been following the chit chat about the oil filters
Geoff

G'day Geoff, I sort of had an eye on it, and am truely surprised by the filter! It sounds like a strange idea that has worked well, especially considering the milage some people are getting. I'm keen to hear how you go when contacting 4M. Regards Slunnie

Sounds like you is one happy chappy with your oil changes.would
definateley be pocket friendly ,and you would think cleaner oil
would would give longer engine life thanks for sharing your story ,these filters sound good to me.

G'day Ross...
The original filters get a change on the 20,000km -30,000km change, since the dunny rolls are taking care of the stuff down to 2-3 microns, the other filters are just about obsolete, but they still get changed when recomended by the blokes who make the good oil...My own thoughts are, that the original filter takes care of the big chunks of garbage and the other takes care of the rest...A very old and experienced mechanic once told me " The life of your engine IS the quality of you oil" I have always remembered this and have never had an engine failure due to oil problems...(Only water problems, ((not the lack of it either, too dammed much down the air intake)))...

One thing i did not mention earlier, you may see quite a noticeable DROP in oil pressure when the dunny rolls get a bit clogged, no bother really, just change the filters and get back on the road, some people seem to think that the drop in pressure is a failing, on the contrary, i see it as a plus, (you know when the oil is getting dirty with soot and other garbage)...Good luck Den

Hi Den.. Thanks for that information. Unfortunately the 80 series that we have (1993 standard, not even DX) doesnt have an oil pressure gauge!!!!! One less thing to worry about, I suppose.

Now, just to check that we are talking about the same filter... the one we have is a bypass filter that takes a small quantity of oil per hour, so would it affect the oil pressure even if it was completely clogged??

Then would you not just go back to the standard setup with ordinary oil pressure.... or am I missing something??

Regards
Ross

PS Sorry Geoff to hijack your question, but still not too far from the original track.
