Hi guys

I know there's a company that makes oil filters to catch actual matter that would usually end up in the oil pan, i'm looking for what size or what filter would actually fit the evo ix.

I believe it also was a free flowing filter, allowing it to catch almost every piece of debris.

I'm looking for this due to recent particles found in my oil pan that was showing premature wear on my engine, I just would like to keep a watch on it.

Thanks!

change your oil and filter regularly, maybe without a microscope next time.

I'm sorry what.. you're telling me to ignore the debris that's sitting in my oil pan? Oh ok. You can pay for it when I spin a rod bearing.

You are the man, i'm assuming that one is specific to the ix and not just a random one right?

Yes. Magnus makes one as well I believe.

I never said that. Just $100 oil filters may be more awesome, but likely won't make your motor last any longer than $5 ones. Then I made a microscope joke.

This actually made me laugh. I was under the impression these mentioned filters were actually for engine break in periods. I know the filters most people use have bypass valves on them and this one doesnt. If you already have debri in the oil pan from rod bearings, why not just drop the pan and install new bearings? Running this filter wont fix your problem, it will be a bandaid.

I edited that post, because there seemed a better way to say it.

Im pretty sure those filters are not disposable. You clean them then reuse them again.

Im not sure of what was causing debris in my oil pan, but i firmly believe that spending 100 dollars to check if your engines taking premature wear is a good deal. I have used amsoil filters but I dont like how they get bypassed. The same kind of reason people buy oil catch cans.. to monitor and save your engine. Pretty reasonable expense if you ask me, especially being reuseable. Never have to buy another oil filter

Agreed, I was not the one that told you not to do it. For some reason I thought you had said it was bearing material.

I've never pulled an oil pan that didn't have some amount of small brass/aluminum filings in the pan. You have to remember that what is in the pan is unfiltered. The oil pump picks it up, shoves it through the filter, through the engine, then back to the pan. Small filings aren't exactly bad. It's bad when you drain the oil and it looks like a rainbow when you shine a light through it lol
