Does the puraDYN® system remove solids more effectively than other filters?
Yes! Most full flow and bypass filters use paper filter cartridges, and of those, only premium quality filters remove solid contaminants down to about 15 microns in size. Most full flow filters can capture particulates in the range of 25 to 40 microns. Commonly, paper is used as a full flow filter medium but it can quickly coat with particles, dirt, sludge and varnish. There is far less filtering surface area in a full flow paper filter than in the puraDYN® System and as such, they have a definite tendency to clog and lose their efficiency quickly. In the event that a full flow paper filter is heavily clogged, the filter’s bypass valve should open, allowing unfiltered oil to flow through the engine. Thus, the full flow oil filter can become ineffective in a relatively short period.
