How about a lifetime oil filter?

[stereooptions]

Detailed the owner's cars and was very interested when he showed me his products including his own blended oils and lifetime oil filter. I could probably get a group buy on these as he can make them for any vehicle. He says the military use these filters and Nascar's have these filters. Also he told me Mobile 1 oil is junk which was suprising to hear. He said the only branded oil he would use is Chevron Delo oil as it has more zinc and stuff an engine needs.

if the price wasnt absurd....

[stereooptions]

I think he said they are $200 but these are machined billet and he custom makes it for any car or vehicle. He says a paper filter doesn't filter oil as it can't pass through paper and the oil is just bypassed and the stainless steel screen inside this filter can. I'm thinking I may get some for my vehicles.

If you spend $10 on a paper filter and change it 20X's by 60K miles or 100K miles depending on your change intervals I think it pays for itself.

whoa cool

[scottd1975]

well its not exactly what we use on the helicopters but it is the same principle.

[stereooptions]

He says he makes them for the military.

No, bullshit. It has to have a VERY fine mesh to filter out stuff in the oil, my guess is no where near the small porousness of paper filters. It will still get dirty, and still need cleaning, its a filter! Old Porsche's and VW's had no oil filter, just a, you guessed it, a metal mesh screen to catch stuff around the oil pump pick up tube, which you would have to remove and clean every oil service. They switched to a paper filter along time ago. I would just buy a new filter from the dealer, With that one, you may save a couple hundred bucks by the time you reach 100K miles, but I wouldn't be willing to risk an $8K dollar motor for the savings of a couple hundred bucks.

[scottd1975]

well the ones the military uses also has a magnetic pick-up in them that catches the shavings. The oil we use also goes through a pon-6 which is the servicing unit for the engines and it has a 9 micron filter in it.

It says you pull the filter out and clean it with a parts washer or hot soapy water haha not just set it and forget it. Its like a K&N lifetime air filter but for the oil

[scottd1975]

um nope not buying that...

[scottd1975]

even the "military" swap filters every 30 operating hours

[stereooptions]

why do they swap them? I'll ask him and it would be funny to find out he is sticking it to the Man by recommending changing out his "lifetime" filters

[scottd1975]

Dood im not saying hes lying we change them because it calls for them to be changed. But is he the guy selling them to the military or are they "military replicas"?

[stereooptions]

He says he is the one selling them to the Military unless he is full o crap. But it makes sense to tell the Military to replace them otherwise he wouldn't sell so many filters

[scottd1975]

Well if he was the one selling them to the military he would be a multi millionaire. So is he that well off?

[stereooptions]

Seemed that way only did his Corvette Z06 and Suburban as he seemed like an old All American guy haha. He's an ex race car driver or something

[krakkaNW]

Well if he was the one selling them to the military he would be a multi millionaire. So is he that well off?

if he keeps selling all this BS and people keep buying it, he will be.

[stereooptions]

haha

[oc-audica]

to clear things up a bit maybe duno but maybe... he probably isn't BSing about selling them to the military... he could have a contract with them, doesn't mean he would be the only supplier.

for instance i know someone that deals rifle scopes to the military, but i don't think he is the only one in the world that does, you know?

and I'm willing to bet he will sell them to Evan for much much cheaper, like more than half off retail.

[scottd1975]

im not buying it sounds like BS to me.. Hey if nascar uses them who in nascar? Oh mobil 1 team? or exxon team?

[scottd1975]

Well if he sells them to the military i can find out 100 percent ask him for his "NIN" or "NSN" if he sells he has one for the filters and ill double check for us all

[stereooptions]

I guess these would be the teams

[stereooptions]

alright but what is an NIN or NSN? plus would he be willing to just give me that information?

[scottd1975]

ask him for the NIN or NSN

[Bierbau]

I guess these would be the teams

Come on Ricky Craven used his filters, Ricky never put enough time on his motors before hitting the wall. :D
I think Ricky is no longer driving in Nascar anyways.

[scottd1975]

probably because the filters caused his engines to blow haha

[ROKABLOK]

alright but what is an NIN or NSN? plus would he be willing to just give me that information?

NSN stands for National Stock Number it should be 13 digits. he should be able to provide the NSN, it is just like a part number for the item. unless the military procures it through an open market purchase

[mike]

Ask him if he has any ocean front property in Montana to throw in with the deal. Sounds like a modern day snake oil salesman.

[Slapshotnerd]

if it's too good to be true...

[stereooptions]

yeah but I wonder how long these have been on the market? It seems these are geared towards hot rods and harleys. Also, what were people saying when K&N brought out their lifetime filter and said it was reuseable and better than paper?
