Clear Oil Filter (Glass Housing)

Clear Engine Oil - How Many Oil Changes Does it Take? (with Color Comparison) kzbin.info/www/bejne/anLKaHtnl8yYack

[@coquimonster31]

It's really interesting to see it keep filling after you stop cranking. Gives me peace of mind when I crank to prime filter before running engine.

Good job Owen. I think it is actually a good thing that the seals failed. Otherwise, the glass probably would have shattered from the pressure. This video is excellent for training auto technicians and DIYers about the proper way to replace an oil filter. When possible, the filter should be pre-filled before installation. This prevents the "dry-start" short term "Knock" that results from the time it takes for the engine oil to fill the filter housing and saturate the filter media before allowing pressurized oil to arrive at the bearings inside the engine. If you add up all the "dry-starts" from every oil and filter change, I feel that the wear is similar to cold-start wear and, in this case, it can be avoided with vehicles that have filters positioned like the one in this video and as found on small block Chevrolet engines for example. Great engineering that decided to mount the filter in that orientation. Once I learned to pre-fill oil filters, I noticed the instantaneous oil pressure prevents the start-up noise and the oil light goes out much faster. With the newer style filters with an anti-drain back valve, you take a small blunt (golf tee or similar object) tool and temporarily disturb the valve seal to allow trapped air to escape while filling the filter housing through the center hole. Takes a little more time but it is worth it for a top-notch professional job. God Bless.

That's a great tip about air bleeding the oil filter. Thank you!

[@reason2gether]

@@OwenLucas You're welcome my friend. I admire the effort that you took to make this video. It is very valuable for learning especially for seasoned Auto Technicians and the DIYers alike, if they are willing to keep learning and trying to improve. Thank you, Owen!

Next time use a 2 part structural epoxy (the kind used in auto body repair) Next time get a glass specialist to cut the tops of the beakers off to remove the pour spout and make a square edge. It should work then!

[@erwinIQ]

Because people like you is how things get investigated and improved for all your research Thank you 👍

[@Camska427]

Always wanted to see what it looks like inside one while its on. Pretty cool.

[@ZAHIDHASAN-qx3mt]

same here

[@bigtrippy4970]

As did I! 😊

[@biggermrbrute]

I used to be a tech at Valvoline, and still always do my own oil changes for myself, friends & family, and seeing all that oil fly out everywhere makes me cringe because that’d be hard to clean up, but the clear filters are actually really cool. They should make oil filters like that somehow

[@OwenLucas]

I was expecting a mess, but not this much! Time for the pressure washer and some degreaser.

[@michaelcohen9363]

Why should they make oil filters like that? You can't see it, and it'll darken quickly to the point that even if you could see the filter in action you wouldn't see any oil flowing due to it being dark. Don't be dumb.

[@dicboxdicbox6969]

@@michaelcohen9363 not dumb, he just didn’t think about as he should since he is a tech

[@lobsterbisque7567]

abiggermrbrute same here. I was also a tech at an oil/fluid change shop, and I always changed my own oil. Most of my friends & family think I'm old fashioned for flushing & changing my own oil regularly. Even though I always drive old japanese cars, they never understood why I'm so meticulous when it comes to maintaining my old cars while they spend thousands of $$$ on repairs that could have easily been prevented. Whenever I try to educated them so they're more mechanically sympathetic, they shrug me off claiming they don't know anything about their cars. I was just trying to help them.

[@ranger178]

I change my own oil because most shops do crap work, they put most inexperienced guy on oil changes and you get stripped oil drain plugs, overtightened filters, and they put in too much oil of cheapest oil they can find.@@lobsterbisque7567

[@1bozo9]

Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to do this .

[@OwenLucas]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SurendraKDharmadhikari]

You went a long way to demonstrate a process. Found your efforts worth appreciation. Nice

[@stevanrose7439]

Kool idea I like the clear filters. And I found out just how much oil goes through the filter one time when I tried to take a filter off and got the seal broken then decided to drive the truck on ramps and started it and turned around for a second and then back again and wow 😯 the ground was covered in oil. I didn’t run it dry or cause any damage but that oil moves fast.

[@gusgiesel]

Very cool, thank you! I wonder if you could rig a metal strap to support the beaker and prevent it from separating... maybe put one end of the strap on an oil pan bolt and the other end somewhere on the other side?

[@PaekSukis]

Got yourself a new subscriber. Thanks for doing this! Those mess was worth it!

[@OwenLucas]

Thank you Paek! I was worried the belt would make noise from being sprayed with oil but it works just fine.

[@abdalaziz30]

I appreciate the efforts made to make this video, all respect ❤️

[@OwenLucas]

Thank you so much 😀

[@LL-se1vj]

Great work my man! Very interesting 👌

[@OwenLucas]

Thank you very much!

[@jaredalexander3403]

Awesome video man you keep videos like this up an you will be huge fast

[@OwenLucas]

Hope so!

[@texasbtc]

So cool to see. I know the cleanup was a beating but much appreciated!

[@OwenLucas]

Yes, had to pull the power washer out to clean the engine bay and suspension.

[@EpicHardware]

very interesting, thanks for sharing !

[@purebloodheretic4682]

Good Idea - how about a Pickle Jar - Drill a suitable holes in the metal screw lid & jb weld or pop rivet the the metal filter threaded intake to it 🤔

[@OwenLucas]

Pickle flavored oil? Hmmm!

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

so even when you prefill your filter - if there is a little bit of contamination - it gets pushed DOWN into the filter first and should get caught in the filter - before the oil fills back up through the center of the filter. I was wondering about this. thanks

[@maximilianlindner]

I appreciate the effort

[@TTURKI]

Thanks for taking the risk for our curiosity 👍 And does all the engines need more than two oil changes to become smooth and yellow without any old oil ? or just yours has sludges ?

[@OwenLucas]

It really depends on the engine. I did an engine flush 8000 miles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHTSZ5R5msljmNE before the first oil drain in the video, so the engine should have been pretty clean internally. The oil is dirty most likely due to blow-by and age. I wanted to make sure I had clear oil for the glass filter so I just kept changing it until I felt it was good enough for the presentation. I think it might come out clear for most people after 6 oil changes but there really is no reason to do so.

[@wd8779]

Pretty awesome video Thank You

Thanks for great video.

[@JamesCampbellPPG]

Wow, so much effort for 75 views. Victim of the algorithm. EDIT: Sorry, didn't see this was uploaded today. May this video be blessed with millions of views! :)

[@LAactor]

They don't get too much views to people these days. Hopefully they change their minds. Today I was suggested this channel. Maybe things are getting better.

[@junboo8730]

Brilliant.

[@rutwikkarekar4666]

What you have done to that non use engine oil ?

[@OwenLucas]

I used regular engine oil.

[@otomoravec1732]

This was excellent! Next time consider removing the spark plugs to ease the load ;)

[@OwenLucas]

Good tip!

[@thatcobradude4496]

this was cool

[@sandyroadking]

Appreciate your effort..

[@OwenLucas]

Thank you Sandeep!

[@tcmits3699]

Maybe you should've used a "Ball" jar replacing the thin insert lid with a modified filter base😊

[@diegosti]

Very nice

[@dimmacommunication]

Could you test how much oil gets absorbed in the oil filter ? Cause I have a replaceable paper filter and I always dump it in oil to pre soak it, would like to know if it's effective or a waster of time/effort :)

[@OwenLucas]

I prefill my spin on filter cans but I have never dealt with a cartridge paper filter.

[@dimmacommunication]

@@OwenLucas could you take the paper out , soak it let it " drip " the excess and weigh ?

I'm not sure if I learned anything from this.

[@tonyc366]

Yet, none of them worked

[@RobertEndl-pl9kr]

Next time use epoxy.

[@mikecee3058]

I consider myself lucky that I have better things to do in life.

[@OwenLucas]

😂 I'll take that as a compliment.
