Just wondering if anyone has ever taken an Amsoil bypass filter apart? I was curious on how they were constructed. I've seen some interesting pictures at Donaldson's filter web site and their filters look a lot like windings of string or cord.
 
NB,

The old ones were stacked discs of cotton "linters" that were held in compression with a follower plate. The new ones are two layered pleated filters, with the nanofibers on the outside and a celluose layer beneath for structural support.

yes I had some great photo's of the old ones, but they are all be gone in replacement for the new ones. You can buy a cut away of the new one just like the old one. I don't have one yet. I guess I need to add it to my list.
 
Nice truck, Mike!! Bet you use Amsoil in it!

I have an old B90 out in the trunk of my car. Had it for years. It's on a dual remote unit.

Hey thanks, it's sold now. I traded it last year for my Frontier. I often wonder where it's at as it's was in like new condition. I wonder if they took the by-pass filter off and such.

Oh well, I guess I will never know.
