Man, I haven't even finished posting this and I already have had three orders while I am putting this up.!!!!!! I cannot believe this!



Stainless Steel
Micronic Oil Filter
 Cleanable
 Proven Technology
 High Flow Rate
 Superior Filtration
 Easy Filter Element Inspection
 Unaffected by Water, Heat, or Pressure
 Environmentally Friendly

The filter is made from medical grade, type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth providing unmatched protection against oil contamination and resultant engine damage. A one-inch square of this material flows an incredible 1.9 gallons of oil per minute at only 1-PSI pump pressure. The adhesive used in the filter assembly process is good to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, far above normal engine operating temperatures. A super strength nickel-plated neodymium rare earth magnet is installed in the top of the element for magnetic pre-filtering of the oil. The unique twist lock design allows for easy disassembly, inspection and cleaning. The quad-ring gasket doubles the seal between the filter and the engine. Finally, the filter housing is carved out of solid chunk of 6061T6 billet aluminum, which not only looks trick but aids in dissipating heat.







 Inspect and clean the filter prior to initial use
 Use care when handling the filter element
 If you are unsure of any of these procedures contact a reputable mechanic for assistance.

Cleaning Instructions
At minimum, clean the filter with every oil change. Remember, oil is the lifeblood of you engine- keep it clean!

Gently push the filter element straight down out of the locked position, twist filter element 1/3 turn counter clockwise and release. You should now be able to remove the filter element from the housing.

Wash the stainless steel filter element, spring and housing in clean solvent, kerosene, aerosol carburetor cleaner or any other degreasing agent; even common dish soap and water. If inspection of trapped debris is desired, flush the particles into a clean light colored container. Once clean, lightly blow air through the filter from the inside out to remove any remaining particles or cleaning agent from the screen.

Assembly And Installation
After all components are clean and dry, place the spring in the filter housing, large down (toward the housing). Now place the filter element into the housing making sure the three “ears” on the element fall into their slots in the housing. Gently push the filter element straight down into the housing, twist the element 1/3 clockwise, and then let the element spring back up into the locked position. Make sure the three filter element ears are fully engaged in the housing notches (as the filter tightens on the engine, the filter element will tighten against the housing which will eliminate any play).

Install the rubber quad-ring (either side up) fully into the groove in the housing. Lube the quad-ring surface with a thin film of clean oil and install filter on engine. The filter should spin on at least 3 full turns. Torque the filter to 20-25 ft. lbs and recheck torque after 100 miles.

What is the micron size for filtering?

 

[buttonfly]

What is the micron size for filtering?

It says down to a true 35 microns

 

[WE4]

This is one of the most awesome products to come along in a long time!

These filters are KILLER! They are selling like crazy. Even the State of Ca. is interested in the "green enviroment" they help to assist with. No more storing, draining and crushing oil filters for recycle. Man, these things are cool!! Everyone around here has put them on their cars. Now we have all makes and models in stock. Fords, chevys, and of course Buick. Motorcycles and atvs as well.
Man, great product!!!!!!

Yes they filter down to 35 microns, a TRUE 35 microns. The human white blood cell is 15 microns. Do not beleive what they say on the paper filters. They "Claim" they filter down to 35 microns but they do not. The best they go is between 90-135 microns. It is the way they "test" them. What we are telling you is the truth. I can even hook you up with the designer if any super highly technical questions need answering.

This filter can be 80% plugged and still flow more oil then a BRAND NEW Paper element!!!.
Best product to come along in a long time!

You guys should get in on this!

These are selling nicely. EVERYBODY who has one LOVES them! They are the best product for our cars to come along in a long time. Now , the State of California wants them for the CHP cars and BMW bikes. They are considering their fleet cars as well. No more storing and disposing of oil filters and can ck condition of engine at every oil change preventing a broken down car, a tow,and a stuck employee. We all know, that "State employees take very good care of their state cars.LOL"
Anyway, neat product and I am discounting them to our members. Freight free.

Take advantage of this product. I am sure you will be more than impressed.

WE4,
Have any tribologists/oil experts reviewed this product? Has it appeared on any oil sites such as Bob Is The Oil Guy
Your comments are appreciated.

 

[forcedfedv6]

Come up with a 20 microns filtration filter and I will buy one, I dont think 35 is enough, system 1 offers a 45, 30 microns filtration with thier purchase thats the only thing that stop me from buying one.. get me a 20Microns and I am sold.

 

[1chance]

How much?

 

[charlief1]

I'm going to be devils advocate here. Shouldn't this be on the "for sale" or "venders" section?

 

[ckmm]

to high for me

price is a littel high!!! its just a oil filter nice looking one . BUT still a oil filter. i can think of other things my car needs for 180

 

[CTX-SLPR]

What threads do you offer on the filter?

I will be posting quite a bit of more tech info here shortly. Including, Bob the oil guy, " who I didn't even know existed. They (K & P Engineering) are composing a section on "micron measurment" so it can be truly understood how and what you are interpreting. I , myself, am looking forward to this.
Keep cking back. I should have it today or tommorrow.

FAQ's:

I have also attached a testing results page that was found on the oil filter study dot com site, so that you can see others have found similar results to ours. You will want to pay attention to the average largest pore size for each of the filters.

If someone is really interested true test results, they should not take the word of manufacturers (ourselves included) and should commission tests of their own comparing SAE test results to ASTM, and then deciding which results have the most meaning to them.

Dave, thanks for the information, and yes, it was helpful. I know there are no standards… or actually there might be too MANY standards. J I like black and white standards when you can get them, but grayish numbers appear to be the norm with filter specs. How Harley can call it a 5 micron filter when it passes 40 micron particles is beyond me. If they do indeed pass 40 micron chunks, and your filter won’t pass anything bigger than 35, it sounds like no contest. It also looks like the S4 just spins on in place of my present filter, which is another plus. Now I just have to find the place with the best price I guess!



Thanks for your time.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for your interest.



When it comes to micron ratings, things can get pretty muddy. You can have efficiency ratings, beta ratios, multiple passes, averaging, etc. going on in many of the filter tests that allow you to pick a number that looks good for marketing.



We prefer to test filtration performance using an ASTM test, which gives you a worst case scenario. In other words, what are the largest particles a filter will pass. Using that test, a Harley 10 micron filter passed 48 micron particles, a 5 micron passed 40 micron particles. Now this doesn't mean that the factory filter is bad. In fact, Harley filters return the lowest numbers of all the paper filters we have tested so far. And they work fine. If they didn't, you would have blown engines all over the place. Same with our filters. Since 1995 we have not had one engine failure attributed to our filter failing to perform. All we use the numbers for is to show that our filters, the largest particles being passed at 35 microns, meet or exceed the factory filtration performance.



On the flip side, the finer a filter media is, the poorer it flows. On a pro stock motorcycle at the drag strip, a paper filter measured 20 lbs of differential pressure (the difference in pressure from the outside of the filter to the inside), and ours measured less than 1 lb. What this means is that the bypass valve on the paper filter, usually measuring between 4 and 8 lbs opening pressure, is open allowing unfiltered oil into the engine. At this point, it doesn't matter fine the paper filter media is. Think about cold startups on your engine, cranking the throttle to listen to those cool pipes, the thick oil trying to get through the filter media and going through the bypass instead.



This reduced back pressure against the oil pump is where the horsepower gains come from. Kind of like turning off the air conditioning in your car.



One should also ask how our media can filter as good as the paper media, yet still flow multiple times more oil in the same time frame. This is due to the construction of the media. Cellulose or synthetic fibers, normally of varying diameters and lengths, are pressed or glued together, and are layers deep. Our filters media is stainless steel wire, woven into a fine cloth, producing a much more consistent filtration media with very high flow rates. This also increased the contaminant holding capability. If you do the math, with our filter flowing 5 times more oil in the same time frame as a paper V-Twin filter, ours can be 80 percent plugged and still flow as much as the paper filter.



Add in the fact that you can pull the filter anytime to check the contents for undesirable signs of something going wrong, the outstanding appearance of the housing, the magnet pulling ferrous material out of the oil, the cooling properties of the filter, and you start to appreciate just how much our filter brings to the table. If you are so inclined, since you are not adding oily filters to the landfills, you can even brag about the fact that you are doing your part to be "Green" (as you do a monster burnout and rattle the windows for the next two blocks).



Hope this information helps.



PS If you decide to buy one of our filters, S4 is the part number that fits the Harley applications, both Evo and Twin Cam including the 07 and 08's. (with the exception of the V-Rod which takes an S10)

Hello –



The internet forums (at least the Harley forums) are abuzz on the subject of re-usable oil filters right now. That’s what brought me to your web site. I’ve spent a bit of time looking through all of your provided information and I have a question – probably one that is so common, you’re really sick of it!



First, I totally believe what you say on your site – I don’t doubt your claims, and your product looks to be top notch. I’ve worked on my own vehicles for the last 40 years and just looking at the nice quality and engineering of your filter housing is enough to make me want one! There’s nothing like good quality tools and good quality equipment to use them on.



Now, on to the standard question. I have a Twin Cam Harley (2005), with cams and a big bore kit, not that that matters. The Motor Company tells me to use their 5 micron filter. You say that paper and stainless mesh are different animals, which is obvious to me. However, a micron is a micron. If you’re passing 35 microns, to me that sounds like too big a particle. The Motor Company leads me to believe that anything bigger than 5 microns is too big. I tend to think they’re simplifying matters a bit.



Can you tell me in plain English, that your filter will filter oil as well (or better) than the stock “5 micron” Harley Davidson filter?



If you can say that, I’m going to go and buy one. And I’ll love it, because it looks gorgeous too.



Thanks for your time

Post all this "data" on your website instead of constantly bumping this thread to the top of our tech forum. If someone is interested in your product, they will find your website.

Look, you even have your own Vendor forum further down on the main page, seems like a good place for this thread.
