What is this???????????

oil filter, waste of space. By the sound of the setup it would actually reduce the amount of oil being pumped up to the top of the engine. so even if your oil lasted 5 years your engine would need replacing at the same time.

lol, it had a normal oil filter too.
this one would restrict the flow way to much thats why we think it has something to do with taking the air out of the oil??????

Yeah you run it in conjunction.

I remember a bloke used to appear years ago at the Royal Easter Show in Sydney every year with an old Plymouth or something similar, fitted with one of these filters. He was demonstrating how effective they were and I think they actually used toilet rolls for filters. He used to pull the dipstick, wipe it with his finger, then clean his finger on his shirt and there was no dirt showing. I'm pretty sure it was Franz filters he was flogging.

It is an oil spinner. What it is supposed to do is spin the oil in a circular motion to clean the oil of foreign matter like dirt and metal filings. The idea was that it was to keep your engine oil in pristine condition and therefore making the oil service interval longer; IE normal oil service 10,000Km but with the spinner, you could extend the service interval to 20,000Km. I was a lube technician for 16 years for a coach company and they fitted one of those "things" to one of the coaches. They were not a good thing at all! Damn messy is about all I can say for them
