This is to share my opinion on "performance" oil filters.
Now before I go further, the product that is the center of my opinion today would be non other then Works Engineering High Performance Oil Booster Filter.
Yeah serious. That is the complete name.
If you are to ask me if oil filters increase HP, I would have bitch slap you on the spot. Serious.
How is it that an oil filter is able to increase the power of your engine?
Do they even know what they are doing?
First a failed camshaft. Story here.
Now this?
For those that are not in the know, basically how engine works is like this.
When you do an oil change, you basically release back the lost engine power that is lost and this will make you feel as though as your engine is making more power.
In ACTUAL fact, you are just gaining back all your lost power since the last oil change.
How?
As your engine oils gets dirtier (from giving protection to your engine parts, DUH!), you lose efficiency and thus in the process, losses a couple or so HP/Torque. That is why you hear people complaining about engine being sluggish and such but once an oil change is done, the engine felt better and more responsive.
This is an on-going process.
Simple car maintenance 101. It will not get any simpler then that.
Now lets relate to the mentioned product.
Notice how it say that you need to do the following:
"However, to maintain optimum low pressure loss properties, it is recommended to change the filter every 3000 km when an oil change is performed."
Basically what it say is to recommend a user to do an oil change every 3000 km in order to feel the filter effect.
Isn't this bullshit plain and simple?
A regular oil change interval is 5000 km and to use this filter, you do it at every 3000 km instead?
Shorter interval means fresher engine oil means more responsive engine means u have less power loss means you feel you have more power when in fact you are actually minimizing the power loss due to dirty engine oil.
Please do some thinking here.
1 + 1 = ?
So now to claim that an over-priced oil filter is able to add HP, in my opinion, would be a plain con job.
Not sure about you but I am surely not falling for this con.
