Additional
Filtration:
Why do I need additional filtration other than factory
equipped?
Factory
full flow filters cannot provide fine filtration, and
simultaneously maintain the required oil flow rates
necessary to properly lubricate an engine.
The best
reason for adding an Enviro-Kleen filter to your existing
system is to purify the lube oil. By keeping the oil clean,
you are eliminating over 73% of most engine wear. Fleet
Guard SAE reports of actual tests confirm that as particle
sizes are reduced, engine life is extended.
Does
extending oil drain intervals void manufactured engine
warranties?
NO. By
using the Enviro-Kleen bypass filtration system and
monitoring your oil through oil analysis, you can maintain
an oil quality that far exceeds manufacturer requirements.
Specific
acknowledgments have been received from major engine
manufacturers that the installation of the Enviro-Kleen
bypass filtration system will NOT affect your warranty
Additive
Packages: Will the Enviro-Kleen bypass filtration system
remove the additive package from my oil?
NO.
Additives are oil soluble and therefore cannot be removed by
the Enviro-Kleen bypass filtration system.
By using
oil analsis you are able to monitor your additive package.
Oil
Change Intervals: Must oil be replaced at regular
intervals to protect engines and hydraulic systems from
damage?
NO. Oil
change intervals are not dependent upon miles or hours that
oil has been in service. The need to change oil is dependent
upon the amount of contamination contained within an oil.
When extending the oil drain interval, drain cycles must be
determined by oil analysis.
Bypass
Filters and Oil Pressure: If I install the Enviro-Kleen
bypass filtration system on my engine, won't it starve my
engine of lubricating oil?
NO.
Engine oil pressure will not be affected by installation of
the Enviro-Kleen bypass filtration system. The flow rate
through the Enviro-Kleen bypass filter is approximately 2
quarts per minute.
Acid
Build-Up:
What about acid build-up within the engine?
The Enviro-Kleen System, supported by Primrose
Oil, works in harmony with the top rated TBN Chemistry of
Primrose Lubricants. The filters ability to remove free
water retards the production of harmful acids and corrosives
that are formed when moisture is present.
Coolant
Leak: Can a bypass filter prevent oil dilution from a
coolant leak?
No bypass
filter can overcome oil dilution from a coolant leak.
Oil
Color: Does the use of an Enviro-Kleen bypass filtration
system restore the original color of the oil?
No. When
suet first enters the oil it is molecular. No filter will
filter particles this small. The additives in the oil keep
it suspended until they weaken and then the suet starts
forming larger particles. When it gets to the 1-micron size
the Enviro-Kleen Filter System starts to pick it up. But
you cannot filter the color of suet out of the oil.
