Auto tech here🙋♂️ I’d have to say I don’t care to pour oil into filters before installing. I do put oil around the seal… but to me it’s a waste of time. The car was just running, therefore all the components are lubricated. It doesn’t make a difference the few extra seconds it takes for the oil filter to fill up. The filter has to be pressurized with the pump before it feeds the system anyway. You’re saving like a second of the engine running “dry”. Filling it is pointless. However I do take the precaution on an engine I’ve just built. Every second matters on first start.

Have you ever actually performed a used oil analysis after running the oil the manufacturer recommended oil change interval? Or are you just making assumptions and repeating what other people say? Because I have run used oil samples in multiple vehicles I’ve owned (VW TDI, 5.9 Common Rail Cummins, multiple 7.3L Powerstrokes, and an LBZ Duramax) at the recommended 10,000 mile interval on most, and 10,000 miles was always an extremely conservative oil change interval. They all had over 300,000 miles on them when I sold them, or I still own them, and they all ran/run like a top. Unless you actually test the oil, you really don’t know what the oil change interval should be, and you certainly shouldn’t be calling someone stupid for following the manufacturers recommendations. 🤷🏻♂️

The real reality is only a certain percentage of your oil is filtered at once, your motor isn’t “starved” on the first start if you don’t have the filter pre filled. There’s mostly a misconception about how oil filtering systems actually work and where your oil pump pulls from etc. I stopped pre filling filters years ago. It’s not like a bad practice at all, it’s just not necessary
@freedomworx21 сағат бұрын
It’s called a full flow filter for a reason brother. All of the oil goes through the filter before it enters the oil galley. The only exception is during extreme cold starts, high rpm, or if the filter is extremely dirty, or a combination of those scenarios, when the bypass inside the filter opens. That’s reality. Show me literature or a flow diagram that shows otherwise 🤷🏻♂️

@@freedomworx In fairness. The guy I was talking to last time about this was an airplane mechanic. Car Motors very well may have a different system. even still, i definitely havnt prefilled filters in years, and alot of the fleet i maintain has upwards of 200k miles, still dropping clean oil samples. mix of diesels and gas. I think its incredibly likely that theres enough oil in the oil valleys of cylinder heads to splash and keep everything lubricated enough until the oil pump catches up. i dont have literature about this ofc. but i have pulled open motors and theres oil in the heads of a motor that has been sitting. oil pumps are also pretty aggressive, so its very likely that 2 rotations in (before most motors even fire) its already built up oil pressure

Dave harps about a lot of stuff. $4,000 pistons that look like golf balls, gapless rings, and changing oil every 3K miles if you want him to warranty an engine e that he built. Hapless rings are good technology, but it’s really only something that comes into play when you are rebuilding an engine. Making power reliable power with a 7.3L isn’t hard, but it also isn’t cheap. I have a 7.3L Excursion that makes 500HP to the tires, and it was costly.

Which I’m understanding lower temps is a goal on making diesels live long & prosper. The explained science makes sense to me anyway what the byproduct and various mechanics does for the engine. Yet, most of us with engines factory pieces, the things we can do a LOT cheaper 'bolt-ons” sounds like the way to go actually. Better Exh system, the CTG programmer setup, Maybe the DPI setup, The Banks top end pieces, better Engine oil cooler and Trans cooler both. Heck of a lot cheaper then a Dave’s $15~20K engine for sure! 500 HP is way plenty honestly for most any needs.

@yafois988 I haven’t seen the video. But I’d be interested to see how gapless rings could reduce EGTs. I can certainly understand how they reduce blow-by and oil contamination. But EGTs… I’m not sure I follow that one. I have gapless seconds rings in a 1000HP 12 Valve, but I honestly don’t have any data to back up what benefit I’ve received from them. For a 7.3L though, just like any other engine, you really just need to build the engine for the application. If you are going to be towing with it, and don’t want to spend a ton of cash, the best bang for the buck is a set of Stage 1.5 injectors and tuning. That’s a 180/30 injector. Your factory fuel and HPOP are enough to feed them, and your factory transmission will generally survive. That’s good for over 400HP to the tires Anything after that gets very expensive.

The point is that the most engine wear happens during cold start up before oil is pumped around the engine, a dry filter adds another “ glitch in the oils passage as it fills the filter before it continues around the engine causing more wear to your engine. This has been scientifically proven in other videos where the oils was analysed to check for metal particles in different scenarios and more metal particles were found after engine start ups on a dry filter.
@freedomworx2 күн бұрын
If you are referring to the motor oil geeks video, he didn’t scientifically prove anything. He found an old analysis that supported his bias for filling filters. That wasn’t science. I actually just finished a test this week where I installed 50 oil filters on the same engine, with the same oil, and the same operating conditions, and sent in 3 samples for analysis. That’s what science looks like. We will see what actual science says about the topic. My guess is that it made absolutely zero difference. So stay tuned…for actual science. 🤓

If you base the life of the oil off analysis you would be safe but some people just blindly assume they never need to change it as frequently as they should. I was a Volkswagen owner and they specify 10,000 mile oil intervals. Maybe in Germany they have an oil that will hold up better that long but here in the US a lot of it is the same hydrocracked stuff unless you buy a lesser known boutique brand and there are a couple of those that I would forgive someone for not having heard of. Are they any good? I can't say for sure but if they buzz on the web is not negative I will probably try it the next change. There will always be "that guy" who says it didn't work or it ruined his engine. That one will appear to be the only one to have some sort of horror story or just be one of those people who calls everything fake or snake oil. In all fairness to that there are plenty of products that don't appear to do anything. Sometimes the vehicle is just still too new for it to make an improvement. A way to prove that would be to find one that is the same but with more miles and see what difference it makes there. It will be very eye opening because it will make it obvious how much wear creeps in over time. It may be an engine that ran like a dream new and now runs rough for various reasons that now shows an improvement after use of certain product (it can happen).
