Pure Power Lifetime oil filters


Recommended Posts

Just saw these and was wondering if anyone has used these and their thoughts. Looks to be a pretty good filter that's cleanable flows well and filters down to 1 micron nominal and 22 absolute.

Not to familiar with them but the fact of being cleanable is I guess a good thing for the land fills. Now how you clean them might be another story if you are washing used oil down the drain.

I have been using the elusive professional products lifetime filters, since 2008 or so.

a rare find for my subaru, and even more rare for my smallblock GM.

 

I was a quick lube man that had to drag the barrel full of filters at the end of the day.

 

Sickening.

 

the errors are endless, the L30/L31 used to pull in swelled up like a bottle in the sun.

 

Anyway, the billet helps oil cooler double relief engines by staying tough, transferring heat.

 

my subaru engine is now 30 years old, my truck.. just peak over at my avatar.

 

it still hits 13s in the quarter mile, tows boats and cars.

 

My next filter would have to be the pure power, not sure what the story is on the professional products.

I by chance found mine on ebay, and bought from a famous racing company (as in nascar type) that was handed one as a promotion...never used it.

 

two thumbs up from me.

They do try to be universal, be careful.

Our trucks do not need the relief in the bottom... if it does, micron of filter is too tight.

 

the pro products only ran me around 100 dollars. in about 1.5 years the truck paid for itself...and I get to see how the rods and mains are scrubbing by debris in the mesh.

 

At $250.. if you are like me, my gm stuff is a game of dominoes.(I keep getting the same engines). I'd still buy the pure power version for more money.

I love their claim of "Does NOT void your warranty" when if you have an issue with your truck's engine, and you take it in for work under the powertrain warranty period, if they see that filter there? Say something oil /lubrication dependent failed (lifter, oil pump, etc.)? Goodbye warranty.

 

Lets say an AC Delco filter is $4.95. You can get 50 oil changes worth of filters for the price of this unit. No maintenance, just remove the old filter and replace with a new one. No washing, cleaning, etc. If you go by the OLM, and say you change it roughly every 6k miles, that's 300,000 miles worth of oil filters you can buy. How many folks out there truly drive a truck for that long? Sure, there are folks that do, but majority don't. Say you trade it in at 60k miles...you just blew $250 on a filter and you changed your oil 10 times in that 60k miles. You would have spent $49 on regular filters and pocketed $200.

 

IMO...not worth it...stick to a good quality regular oil filter, and consistent oil changes and you will be fine.
