Does anyone have any knowledge in the utilization of absolute 1 micron bypass filters on a GT motor and/or transaxle?
The reason I ask is I have first hand knowledge of this working on heavy equipment. I was skeptical at first, but with two independent labs with the same results, it made a believer out of me. The Harvard filter kept any amount of water out, and filtered both engine and hydraulic oil to extremely clean standards in a 500 hour plus test. The oil in the compartments were actually cleaner than the sample we took out of our bulk oil tanks. We thought we had a bad sample, so we retested and changed our methodology of the sample out of the bulk tanks and they came up more contaminated than the "old" oil in the machine. The oil breakdown was not a factor either -- it really does work.
So again, does anyone have any experience with absolute 1 micron filtering of oil? I am just wondering if it would save an engine or transaxle from expensive rebuilds -- at least delay them.
The other question I had was concerning the amount of pressure the oil cooler lines have in them from the transaxle, and if there would be a built in port to dump the oil back into the transaxle case? Both engine and transaxle filters do not take all of the oil flow through the filters at once, they just take an amount of oil at a time, through a bypass type of flow, so to speak.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has the real life experience with this? Here is the link to the Harvard filtering website:
