Knock Vs Oil Filter

[jrm]

Johnny,

I recently serviced my car, put a DRIFT filter in, figured it couldnt be too bad - magnetic and claims to have anti-drain back. My car now does the exact same thing you mentioned. Car now takes 1-2 seconds (when cold) for oil pressure to register and the oil light to go out. That has me fairly concerned. The old oil filter didn't have that problem at all.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

It's really starting to freak me out the longer I leave it - I really don't want to have to drop all my expensive Motul oil to have to change the filter either. I guess I could catch most of it and put it back through with a top-up .. it's only got maybe 1000km on it.

damn, just bought a new drift filter yesterday for my oil change this weekend. I'l let u know what the results are

Never had an issue, used over 250 drift oil filters.....

Same observation here with my SR with grex relocation setup and Drift filter. I've been thinking about redoing the relo kit so the filter hangs down therefore the filter is constantly full.

Can someone actually confirm the Drift filters actually have an anti drain back valve?

Mine does this some time, oil light stays on for a moment with zero oil pressure and then after a few seconds goes to normal. I seriously doubt it's something to worry about. I normally use the Ryco Z145A filters.

I used to use filters, but found I was missing out on the porn!!!

Ryco Z145a and no probs here

why do you need to drain your oil to change your filter?

[skwiz]

Ryco filters are where its at.

I use AC Delco filters.

Maybe cheap, but i have not seen one scrap of evidence, (using my car) to suggest that it is in anyway inferior to other brands, usually much more expensive.

Castrol Magnatec 10w30 also

Just use genuine Nissan filters!

[Dorifta]

who would use a filter with the brand name drift, wank factor, Theyre definatley not experts in filters like ryco or oem

oem are the cheapest and probably the best on the market at 6.60 trade

[bozodos]

well I tend to trust Trent's comments on parts given that he generally tests what he uses.... but for my internally stock motor OEM seems to work just fine

Didnt expect to see this thread again hehe. At the moment i use KnN oil filters and they are great; have a nut at the top like the drift filter so its easy to put in and remove + got rid of my oil issue.

OEM would be good, happy with knn though and prefer to have the nut at the top as it makes the job much easier.

someone who values added protection, these filters filter ~10 ten times smaller particulates than ryco or oem and i have the wear check data on my built engines to back it up. We were using K&N (regarded as one of the best money can buy) but found the DRIFT bettered the filtration (particulate testing) and as i buy in bulk cost me substanially less.

i use these on engine setups costing upwards of $25-30k without any qualms.

Ryco are far from leaders in performance filters but they make a great general filter, for general applications.

[Guilt-Toy]

I allways used ryco filters, last time over here i had to buy some cheap brand from the sphincter of the universe or something and have no issues.

who cares what knock the knock sensors are picking up on startup, i would be worried about 90 knock at 5000rpm with 20psi boost more then a knock on start up??? wtf

[Wheezy]

Anti drain back valves can be see by looking at the filter. Take a look see next time you pick one up

I was using K&N and went over to drift since it is hard for me to get the K&N ones now.

[Beer Baron]

me personally I've always liked genuine nissan filters, but for any of my really tuned cars I use jap ones, mostly Greddy, but also like the sard mag filter and the nismo filters are not bad either. never tried drift ones, but with the ones I've used I never have problems with oil pressure coming up nice and fast.

Fair enough, the name drift is just, such a toss

Have you cut one open or is it just here say

UM your sign in is dorifta... any correlation?

[Dorifta]

correct LOL

for a parts co

have u cut one open

[FineLine]

I.ve been using fram filters for a while now and never had any contamination issues.

have u cut one open

only after each event and new engine build.... so only about 25 now
