Today's Tip

• When improving fluid cleanliness, it is much easier (and cheaper) to exclude contaminants by ensuring seals, vents and breathers are in good shape rather than to filter out contaminants when they are already inside a component. Use a full flow spin oil filter (with an appropriate beta rating) as an air filter. Because the differential pressure across an air filter is lower than across a full flow oil filter, oil filters are typically more efficient at removing particles from the air than they are from oil.
