How to Evaluate Oil Filters
|
|
|
|
When evaluating oil filters, you must understand terms such as pore size, porosity, flow rate and differential pressure, as well as the different filter types and when each is used. Watch this video to find out how to compare filters, why efficiency is critical, precautions to take when you increase filtration and more.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) GL rating system is intended for gear oil specifications. In general, the higher the GL rating, the higher the extreme pressure (EP) protection provided. This is great for reliability and wear reduction in hardened gear sets, but it can spell disaster for synchronizers.
