Thank you Pete for opening up Heather and I MGB GT’s Oil Filter! We got the MGB GT last Summer. We always use Purflux Oil Filters for our 4 other vehicles.

@jeffkortsch8276 6 месяцев назад

That media design is ingenious - a way to add additional filter media in the same space. Plus a coil spring. Interesting.

@donwyoming1936 6 месяцев назад

I kind of doubt you actually get more media than the typical pleats. Probably less.

@moshet842 6 месяцев назад

Ironically, you get less media with this design

@jeffkortsch8276 6 месяцев назад

The video shows 336 square inches of media for a 4 inch wide filter. That’s a lot of media.

@colindubord4239 6 месяцев назад

@@jeffkortsch8276Exactly! No idea what these 2 guys are talking about. These oil filters have always been great and great quality.

@jeffkortsch8276 6 месяцев назад

@@colindubord4239 Simple math shows it has more filter media than a filter with the same depth pleats that are straight across the filter - 4 x 66 = 264 square inches and this filter has 336 square inches. Maybe somewhere 336 is less than 264 but not here.

@daves2520 6 месяцев назад

That is a well-made and well-designed filter - probably pretty expensive.

Not %100 but Purlux is made by Sogefi / Fram ! a joint venture since 1984 ! I seen on " bob is the oil guy " site ! Not all purlux oil filters have the chevron pleating so it may be model specific ! I also would recommend more frequent oil changes ! That oil looked pretty crummy ! All n All cool video ! 👍👍

@WhipCityWrencher 6 месяцев назад

Hi Scotty Thanks for Sharing👍

@nothanks9050 3 месяца назад

Owned by sogefi. Quality of some items has declined in the last few years. Some items they make 2 different versions of, example ls867b they replaced the high quality made in France version with generic cheapo far East (Indonesia?) copy with straight pleats. However they do still make the original in France now part number ls867by and the price has also almost tripled. They produce some oem stuff, fuel filter housing was sogefi made on my dad's car, fram and purflux oem filters were identical with a cheaper option also available. Had a uk made purflux air filter fail badly in less than a year, foam split and let all kinds of grit pass. Another for a different vehicle was split in a seam/pleat from factory. In summary, made in France purflux good, otherwise look elsewhere.

Oil so dark, looks like it's off a diesel engine? If not, one of the blackest post use gas engine oils I've seen. Typical Purflux using chevron pleating. Folks like to say it allows for more media area, but I've always wondered if more straight tight uniform pleats wouldn't/couldn't fit in same area. Deep thoughts.😃 Purflux looks to be well made filter, but imagine on expensive side. With that be nice to have an efficiency rating. Thanks for vid.

@vapoe 6 месяцев назад

Those zigzag filters cram so much more media in there. It makes me wonder if there’s a reason other than cost keeping it from being used more widely.

@donwyoming1936 6 месяцев назад

I seriously doubt there's more filter media in there than a standard pleated filter. You could triple the number of pleats in there without the zig zag

Purflux/sogefi holds a patent for the chevron pleats I believe.

@@colindubord4239 You probably have some carbon buildup and those old English motors weren't the cleanest things in the world. The oil in an old Series III Land Rover will look like the oil was strained though coal dust even after a few miles. I have a diesel powered land rover 90 that I change the oil every 6 months for that reason. Where did you get the filter if I may ask?

@@jamescaron6465 no kidding! That’s a very nice ride you have! I’m thinking too that the original owner used Dino oil. Where we are using full synthetic. Full synthetic has more detergents in it. Maybe it’s getting cleaned out. You think I should do 1k oil changes till she cleans up?

Gary, Purflux are the ones that make the Bentley Oil Filter. It might be less expensive to go straight through Purflux.

@aaronatwood9298 6 месяцев назад

Definitely a very well made filter. The anti drain back looks like Kmart evolved. 😂 As for that oil, running that weight of oil. I'm surprised. I understand it was a BL product, but usually don't go past HD30 or 10-40. Thinner oil might help the soot.

@colindubord4239 6 месяцев назад

The MG’s call for 20w50 actually. I use 15w50 because I try to take it out early Spring and put it away late Fall. But my oil was very dirty for under 3k. Flushing is to risky for this old motor.

The way it looks to me seems like holding way too much debries with a cheapest quality and poor design .The oil pump could've been by now contaminated with a little % on oil pam. I would suggest the owner of this car to use higher quality of filters to clean that emgine and oil change of 3K miles or less to mantain more lube and cleaness in the piston rings. I bet the oil pam is as much dirty as the filter condition 😬

My $1 Auto-Xtra filter from Rock Auto hit 1 year old today in my 5.4L FX4. Just 2 more years to go before I plan to change the oil. I only drive that truck 800 miles a year, entirely highway. If I wasn't worried about the oil filters rusting through, I'd probably leave them in there for a full 5000 miles.

@davidwalker7383 6 месяцев назад

Not a very smart idea at all. There's a reason manufacturers say "or every six months". The fuel that bypasses your pistol rings into the oil will be rotten way before your "2 more years" is up. Varnish from rotten gas isn't a lubricate at all. It actually can be very abrasive and wipe your bearing out prematurity.

I wonder how much more media the zigzags actually get in there vs a straight pleat with tighter spacing. Do you have any other filters that were approximately the same size that use a lot of straight pleat media, like a Boss maybe?

No, I don't, but any polymer or wire-backed filter would probably have less filter media.

It's not 100% synthetic, I think it's a synthetic blend media. JMHO
