Testing Amsoil 2u Ultra Filter
I saw an impressive demonstration of this Ea By-Pass Oil Filter. The box states "98.7% Effecient "Absolute" at 2 Microns per ISO 4548-12". Also states "A soot removal device that helps extend oil drain intervals in modern diesel engines".
The demonstration consists of the filter, a pump and an open-top oil reservoir. Amsoil sells it. The rep dumped some black stuff in the clear oil in the reservoir and within a few seconds the oil cleared from black to amber. Amazing.
So, I went to buy a filter and adapter, to set it up my own thing just like he had. This was was like $75 and was to test it out before I shelled out $250 to put in on my car. He made some resistance, which I found odd, but he couldn't get specific, except he said the demo contained mineral oil.
I made the same setup. I ran it for 30 minues. No change. I then bypassed the reservoir and ran it between the pump and filter only, for five minutes. A small quantity to filter.
The "before" and "after" are above, but I forgot which one is which.
