A better oil filter?

Funny you mention that, I was thinking of either going that way or trying an AMSoil filter.

Hi
I always use amsoil signature along withe the amsoil filter... good stuff in my opinion.

Thanks for posting that. Now the question is, which is the best.

Not sure any oil filter will prevent the oil from turning black after a couple of thousand miles. With that said, the Ford Racing filter is the best option IMO and what I run. Not cheap though. It’s model number CM6731FL82

Hi,
i noticed there are 2 sizes. is the fl82 the bigger and the fl80 smaller? will the bigger fit.
thanks.

I'd second the recommendation for an M1 filter as well. I do pretty short OCI's myself, usually when the Intelligent Oil Monitor gets below about 25%, but based on my last couple of UOA's showing plenty of life left in the oil (TBN > 3) I may let this one go down to 10-15% and see how it reads. Based on the low overall amounts of wear metals, lack of insolubles, etc I'm not sure the filter is going to make a whole lot of difference in anything.

Just curious, whats yr gen and milage and was there a lot of fuel in your oil?

HP19 Racing filter from Fram
Purilator BOSS also good
Ford Racing also good.

AMSOIL makes a bypass filtration system that can filter down to 1 micron I believe. I have been running that system for a long time and it tends to keep the oil a bit “cleaner”. I have posted about this before.

2017, last Blackstone report was at 4025 miles on the oil, 27530 total miles, oil life monitor somewhere between 20-25%. I skipped the next change, and will send in an analysis of the current oil in it when I change it out next. I've usually let the oil life monitor get down to 20-25%, this time I may go down to 10-15% just to see how the report looks. On the last report, the TBN was still 3.9 (plenty of life left in the oil, their target is >1.0), and the fuel % was < 0.5% which has been consistent across all 5 anlyses I've had run.

I was expecting more fuel in the oil. I wonder if the rings on the 3.5 are high pressure. Im new to turbo engines…
