Oil Filter

[Skym]

Has anyone used the Royal Purple Oil Filter on their cars RB engine?? -

The testing they do is impressive, 6G shake, 600psi (stronger back plate) burst pressure test, filtering test, etc.

I might try one next oil change, see what happens... Or not. See if anyone else has tried one first

I can only imagine the oil filters are good.

My Car is running all Royal Purple fluids. Perhaps next oil change i should put a royal purple one on. But really, is it worth the extra cost.

My canadian tire one is holding up just fine


EDIT


Okay, after watching video, maybe i will try a royal purple one haha.

It would help if there was a distributor in Lethridge that carried royal purple stuff

... I can always get you a RP filter, we deal with Mopac. Alberta's RP wholesale dealer.

But really their filter designs are no different than other high performance filter companies on the market. They just have the advertising power to lure everyone in! Try Power Enterprise, AMSOil etc... Very basic design at a lower price.

RP have a better design, here's a article on pulling RP oilfilter apart and comparing to normal oilfilter -

Silicon antidrain back valve (rubber in other filters), reinforced with mesh + better filtering media (NOT paper which can fail), stronger backing plate, stronger housing. Sounds good to me.

RP filters are made by Champion Labs -

But CL made them better than other brand filters they make, wonder why???

for 4 extra bucks I don't see why not... Haven't cheaped out thus far

[cobrAA]

Why not? but do you think it's better than KN? I know they do nice fitler too.

Interesting thread, I use oem oil filters specific for the RB26 imported direct from japan. Are any of you guys running royal purple oil filters ? Can you direct me as to where I can buy one and what model I need I think I'd like to try one

Thanks

[BrianV8]

where abouts are you guys getting the rp oil filters? Can't find anyone local. I messed around with a k&n filter and they look very very similar to the rp ones.

[evilgtr]

also what product number do we need for the RB26 ? Braden if you are a supplier can you shed some light on the topic ?

Also can you pm me with availability and prices I would like to try these on my car.

Are any of you using royal purple in your gtr's ? what grade are you using ?

I usually just ask for a 240sx filter (ka24) Napa gold

[evilgtr]

Ok that works good for higher oil flow of a RB26 ?
Thanks DJ

CobrAA, look at the article, as it compares normal, RP oilfilter, both made by Champion. Can understand the price difference with oilfilters, due to materials used (normal, performance).

Even aircraft oilfilters (Champion brand) are higher quality than the paper type oilfilters we put in our cars. So the design for RP oilfilter might have come from a aircraft oilfilter.

Seems fine I previously used 87' corrola filters but they where pretty small, the 240 filter has alot more capacity . Napa gold is the same thing as a wix filter just rebranded,I use it on all of my cars.

I have used royal purple filters but since I dont' use their oils anymore, I've gone elsewhere. I'm an AMSoil kinda guy.
