 Oil provides the necessary lubrication that ensures the life of your engine. Of course everyone knows that. They also remove harmful contaminants that can damage bearings, crankshafts, and score cylinder walls.
The question is, "do oil screens adequately filter oil"? Not necessarily! Most engine wear is caused by particles that range in size from 30 to 60 microns. Two hundred mesh oil screens trap particles
that are 50 microns and larger in size. Oil filters, however, can remove particles as small as 10 microns. Which do you want filtering your engine's oil, a filter specifically designed to do the job, or a screen that might get the job done? |
