Remote bypass oil filtration

[edtf]

Back to regular programming
Anyways dvldoc this would be a bit OT
How is the reputation or feed back on top 1 oil? Planning to use this on my next oil change.

can you also give us any DIY tip on a oil catch can?

TIA

I guess they all have no synthetic blend.
OD(96.06) OH(137.08) - LF551A, LF3313
OD(96.06) OH(146.43) - LF3314
OD(96.19) OH(107.29) - LF689
5mm (4mm to be safe) increase from original OD of 93.5 i think is acceptable, while OH allowance seems to be acceptable at 3inches before touching some plumbing.. here are some pics you have requested..

Filter Lube

Fuel Secondary

Fuel Primary

your dual fuel filter is pretty interesting too. Hmmm.... learning a lot of stuff from this thread. Won't your fuel pump have to work harder due to passing 2 filters? what filters did you use? Was it DIY?

Rotella dino or T6 sythetic if you can get it there, To me is some of the best oil out there, it always comes back great on EOA for wear protection.

Shell is marketing their new CJ-4/SM oil as "Triple Protection," meaning it provides enhanced qualities for engine wear, soot control and engine cleanliness. Shell's Rotella website indicates that on-road testing confirms the new Triple Protection technology produces better anti-wear characteristics than their existing CI-4+ rated Rotella oil. This is achieved despite a lower zinc and phosphorus additive level as called for by the API CJ-4 specification. (The 15W-40 Rotella T with Triple Protection oil has approximately 1200 ppm of zinc and 1100 ppm phosphorus at the time of manufacture.

Rotella is ment for Fleet service vehicles therefor offers higher protection, I have a turbo diesel vehicle there, my not so little Nissan Elgrand and I love the thing and since they are rare I want to keep it running for years to come even when I get a second vehicle when I get back there.

As far as a oil catch can, (one of the most important mods you'll ever do on a diesel heck even on a gas vehicle) It's simple. You would be surprised how much oil gets reciculated back into your intake manifold, it fouls things like sensors as well.

Here's a few sites to give you a ideal of how to make one.

This is a cheap on that also works well.

I use a air compressor one myself, But if you want it to be super efficient add a piece of steel wool or foam, you will catch much more than with the little filter that comes with it. I removed min and stuck in a block of foam.

I have been making these for friends here out of inline water strainers, They actually seem the best. Just put some steel wool and foam and it works like a champ, plus cost about 15USD total. These to me are the best to use plus they look good under the hood. You could add a drain at the bottom but I just unscrew them and empty it. Just add your hose barb fittings and your ready to role. These have a 100 mesh filter already in them.

Thats Nissan OEM dual fuel filter w/c im planning to replace with more efficient one..maybe 2microns. just counting some months before warrenty expires and all these mods will be in place

Heres my FG filter lineup.. I was able to get the microglass version. Noticed the OEM is now produced in Thailand with different PN# Its taller(almost the size of LF689) by about 3/4" compared to LF3400

[dvldoc]

How much for the microglass version, surprised you found that one there.

[12vdc]

Microglass p550 even surprised why its cheaper than the smallest LF300. Its an old stock though, but i inspected the internals its clean. The biggest LF3314 is p180 LF689 p200

Does these lube filters have micron ratings too like the FS? cant find the info in the specs.

Dang those are good prices, Mine are new old stock as well. Basic Cummins standard is 96.6% 20 microns. Probably should keep it on the down load how good those filters are or they will raise their prices for sure.

I'm pretty sure your LF3314 is a fake, the dead give away is the fact it is plastic wrapped at the bottom only, Only the China fakes come like that. Does it have a country of origin on it? Like I said they come full plastic wrapped on every one I have ever seen. Compare it with the one I posted, The font should also be black on that filter for the word FLEETGUARD. Hey you scored big time on the rest.

compare that LF3487 vs a stock Nissan filter.



Amsoil (hope the name does not draw out the crazies) lol uses the same media in there high efficiency filters.


Nissan should be ashamed to even make these.




And a basic fleetguard.


At least in the states it's illegal for your warranty to be voided because of a oil filter. It's called the MOSS Act.

The Microglass media filters are good for a easy 20000klm with synthetic oil. If you got a adapter set you could make a bypass setup with the Miicroglass media one double that.

[dvldoc]

Yeah that LF3314 one is definitely a Fake, The other give away is that it should be a smooth body like the LF689 and the LF3487. I just called them to verify it. I would not use it because you don't know the specs.

They probably won't take it back.

If it's not th ereal deal you could some issues like a burst oil filter and engine damage.

Look at mine LF3314


They probably don't know it's a fake or what to look for so I don't think they sold it to you like that on purpose the fact you got the rest for so cheap makes up for it

i got screwed by that dealer. Its the only one that came in a box, buttom only plastic cover, six inlet holes(rest were 8 holes), and different cylinder pattern inside. Anyway im intending to use the microglass version only others are for fitment guide.

Im thinking since microglass have more filtration/ more surface area on the element then its more restrictive compared to regular cellulose, so going that extra size is a must..
