How will the Filtakleen Filter affect oil additives and detergents which are contained in the new oil?
The Filtakleen Filter does not affect oil additives or detergents in any way. Since the oil is constantly kept clean, there is little work for most additives to do. Those that are being used, such as anti-scuffing agents, are replaced when normal make-up oil is added to the engine and at the time of servicing of the Filtakleen Filter. Additives are an intricate part of the lube oil and are blended in by the refiner. The Filtakleen Filter will not filter these additives out These additives can only be used up, primarily due to excessive contamination within the oil.
