BELOW WE HAVE LISTED SOME OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR FILTERS
HOPE THEY ARE OF ASSISTANCE TO YOU. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS THAT AREN'T LISTED HERE THEN PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO SEND THEM OVER TO US - WE WELCOME ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS...
1. "JUST WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THESE FILTERS OF YOURS?"
ANSWER: WELL, BY INDUSTRIAL HYDRAULICS STANDARDS THEY ARE NOTHING DIFFERENT! THIS QUALITY OF FILTER HAS BEEN AVAILABLE AND IN GENERAL SERVICE IN THIS SECTOR SINCE THE EARLY 1980's THE AVERAGE MOTORIST IS CONTENT WITH HIS PRESENT FILTER - HE CHANGES THE FILTER DURING HIS ANNUAL SERVICE AND DOESN'T GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT. WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS CLATTERING ON START UP AND ITS DONE 70k MILES HE TRADES IT IN FOR A NEW AND SHINY MODEL. REAL CAR ENTHUSIASTS AND OWNERS OF V8 ENGINED KIT CARS/SPECIALS ARE DIFFERENT! THEY WANT BETTER! THEY MAY NOT DO THE SAME MILEAGE BUT IF THEY CAN PROLONG THE LIFE OF THEIR PRECIOUS V8 THEN THEY DO!
A STANDARD CAR FILTER HAS PAPER FILTER MEDIA TO REMOVE CONTAMINATION FROM THE ENGINE OIL. UNFORTUNATELY PAPER MEDIA IS 50 YEAR OLD TECHNOLOGY SO DOES LITTLE TO STOP ENGINE WEAR TAKING PLACE AS THE HARD CONTAMINATION CIRCULATES AROUND THE ENGINE.
OUR "V8F" GLASSFIBRE FILTER MEDIA IS MUCH MORE EFFICIENT AND ELIMINATES THE CIRCULATION OF CONTAMINATION –DRAMATICALLY EXTENDING USEFUL LIFE OF THE ENGINE.
2. WILL IT IMPROVE ENGINE PERFORMANCE?
NO, UNFORTUNATELY NOT! IT WILL SIMPLY KEEP YOUR ENGINE OIL SO MUCH CLEANER - IT WILL REMOVE AND RETAIN ALL SOLID CONTAMINATION FROM YOUR ENGINE OIL SO ONLY PURE CLEAN OIL IS CIRCULATING AROUND YOUR BEARINGS, PISTONS, RINGS, CAMS ETC, ETC. IT EXTENDS THE LIFE OF ENGINE COMPONENTS - BUT NO EXTRA POWER.
3. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHANGE MY FILTER? LESS FREQUENTLY?
WE WOULD RECOMMEND TO CHANGE AT THE SAME INTERVALS AS YOU'RE USED TO. THE OIL WILL BE SO MUCH CLEANER WITH THE V8F FILTER BUT THE MAIN AIM IS TO EXTEND THE USEFUL LIFE OF YOUR ENGINE AND SAVE YOU THOUSANDS IN REPAIR AND REBUILD COSTS RATHER THAN A FEW POUNDS BY EXTENDING OIL CHANGE INTERVALS.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WE SUGGEST ANNUALLY OR EVERY 5000 MILES
