Really!!! 4 pages mostly refuting that the guy must be wrong, and I must be too because I linked to it. Don't kill the messenger.

The title of the thread:

Finally, the commonsense reason not to prefill an oil filter.

As I said previously, how many actually listened to the video?

When it comes to oil and filter discussions, I present facts that are documented, usually by research and testing. The opponents usually base a statement on rumors they heard from who knows where.

I.E. "I heard that the TP filters remove additives from the oil"

"I heard that the TP disintegrates, plugging up the oil galleys"

"Microscopic dirt won't hurt an engine"

"The only use for by pass filters is OTR trucks"

Just 4 examples off the top of my head.

No one appointed me anything Tom, I do the same thing you do, and monitor conversations on the board, commenting if I think I can help someone.

Actually I have kept a pretty low profile when it comes to commenting on by pass oil filters for a couple years, due to all the negative responses it usually elicits. As soon as I do express an opinion about that subject, the OH NO, another by pass filter thread comments start.

I don't particularly like Holley carbs, but I don't pass on judgement anyone that does.

I worked on most every car that has been made in the last 50 years, but I don't hate on fords and chryslers because I think their engineering leaves a lot to be desired. There have been dodge threads on this board that go on for weeks extolling all the virtues of challengers, and here I thought this was a Pontiac board. So in summation I see stuff on here that aren't my favorite subjects, and I just pass on by, and keep my opinions to myself.
