BOBISTHEOILGUY FILTER TESTS

[Gary Allan]

Bob had a bench setup. Mine is on the vehicle. I can't manipulate flow like he could ..but I can read differentail just as well. The only reason that I went digital is that electrical does not have the resolution and index for reading fine (1-5 psi) differences.

Otherwise, yes, my setup reads above and below the filter just like Bob's did.

Maybe explain the three gauges to us numbskulls

 

[Gary Allan]

The top right is before the filter (remote mount) the one on the left is post filter. The gauge down low is oil temp. The high pressure sender is spanned wrong ..and Cyberdyne is sending me a replacement. It only reads (around) correctly at about 50 lbs. Otherwise I'm @ 80 ..or @ LO (it ranges very quickly in either direction).

Before I found the tech line number, I asked the vendor how much a new sender/sensor would cost. When I related that Cyberdyne was sending me a new one (they were out of stock currently

), he offered to send me one free as long as I sent him the one that Cyberdyne sends me. Nice guy (it hasn't shown up yet - but..)

So ..I'll give him a plug for his good will here.

I think you have it backwards, the top right is the post filter reading.

 

[Gary Allan]

Yes, you're correct ..but that's the "bad sender" ..in my diagnostics, I switched the wires to test if it was the gauges or the sender. Now they're reversed. I'll probably reverse them back when I get it fixed.

Well, only when a positive displacement oil pump hit its pressure relief setting. If the pump is not in pressure relief, then all the oil leaving the pump is forced through the engine and filter.

Here's a flow vs delta-p test done by Purolator in their lab, which I'm sure is much more sophisticated.

ZeeOSix, why are you trying to converse with people who haven't been on the board for six years? Now, if you start chatting it up with some of the dearly departed members who have posted in this thread over the years, I'm afraid I'm going to have to have you committed.
