I installed the LN Spin on adapter today. I had just shy of 5k on a Napa/Wix 7211 paper filter. The one with the plastic sides and it did not disintegrate at all. But I did find some particles in the filter when I tore it open. However, none of the larger (circled) particles where magnetic/ferrous. I ran a magnet over the filter, and only pulled off a few tiny sand sized particles.
Looking forward to comparing this to the spin on filter with hard drive magnets in 5k miles.
Promised I'd follow up when I changed my oil so here goes. Oil changed at 4000 miles, Castrol Edge 10w-40. These pics are from the inside the oil filter. The dark lines are from the ferrous dust removed by the filter mag. These are extremely fine particles. Unfortunately I was unable to capture the glitter effect from the particles. I'm happy spending a small amount of money to get this out of my oil. Cut open the filter and examined with magnifying glass and strong magnet. No ferrous particles. There were some plastic particles, some gold others dark green I removed and photographed. Sample of oil sent to Cat for analysis. If any interest I can post results of the UOA for comparison. Thanks
^ the UOA would be an interesting before and after if there is an improvement.
Yes it would.. This is the second oil change since I started the using the Filtermag. But unfortunately this is the first UOA that I have had done. It should still be interesting to see the metal content.
