In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses testing different oil filters to determine the best one. They have introduced a new oil filter testing rig (Rig 2.0) based on viewer feedback, with enhancements like an oil heater and improved pump. The testing involves measuring how restrictive each filter is at various flow rates using specific fluid (airshell 41). The goal is to ensure fair and repeatable testing processes. The oil is heated to 104 degrees Fahrenheit for hot fluid simulation, mimicking motor oil viscosity at operating temperatures.

In this segment of the video, the speaker compares different motor oil filters, including Wix XP, Pure later Boss, Napa Platinum, and Royal Purple. They discuss each filter’s price, claimed protection mileage, flow rate, and differential pressure at different flow rates. The speaker shows that Wix XP performs the best in terms of flow rate and low resistance, while Royal Purple is shown to be more restrictive. The next test will involve testing filter restrictions at cold temperatures using ISO VG 460 oil as a simulation.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the process of simulating kinematic viscosity, presents graphs comparing the viscosity of 5W30 and isov G460 oil, and compares differential pressures of different oil filters from brands like Wix XP, Napa Platinum, Purolator Boss, and Royal Purple. The video also mentions using AeroShell 41 oil for filter performance testing due to its cleanliness and certification for oil analysis machine calibration. Detailed cleaning of the testing rig is shown using isopropyl alcohol and standardized dust for testing. The segment emphasizes the importance of thorough cleaning and preparation for accurate filter performance assessments.

In this segment of the video, the speaker describes the process of testing oil filters. The mixture is pre-mixed, homogenized using an ultrasonic bath, and introduced into the dropper at a rate of 250 milliliters per minute. They test various oil filters by running the oil through them, filtering out and reutilizing the oil for subsequent tests. The tests include an ISO particle count test and a capacity test, where filters are tested until their initial differential pressure increases by 8 PSI. The Purolator Boss filter performed the best with a capacity of 9.02 grams. The video also shows the internal build of different filters, highlighting features like silicone drain back valves, bypass valves, and filter media joints.

In this segment of the video, the speaker compares different oil filters and their performance based on particle measurements. The Wix XP, Royal Purple, Napa Platinum, and Pure Later Boss filters are analyzed, showing varying particle counts in different micron ranges. The Pure Later Boss filter slightly outperforms the others, with the Wix XP being a top choice due to its performance and affordability. The Royal Purple is recommended for those prioritizing filtration performance over cost. The Pure Later Boss is suggested for its well-rounded performance. The segment concludes by teasing the next episode’s review of another oil filter, with a link provided for viewers to learn more about how oil filters work.
