Well changing your oil filter too often is not good... Everytime you change the filter, you are installing an empty oil filter.. and it'll take that much longer for oil pressure to develop when you start the engine.

$hit have you ever changed your oil..........

One of the main things to do when your changing
oil is to fill your filter with oil. (as much will fit)
That eliminates the problem you refered to!

Good that you bring this point up. If you read my bypass oil filter install write-up on g-owners, you'll see I also follow this practice, however, on a stock vq35 oil filtration setup, the filter sits horizontally, making it very difficult, if even possible, to properly pre-fill it.

Wow you are really this childish. Grow up.

Your oil will still go bad.

Oil filters filter particulate matter down to micron sizes. Many of the contaminates that destroy oil are on the atomic level - gasses, acids, etc..
Correct. But Mr. Vegas won't listen.

Your filter does have everything to do with your engine life.. and oil will last a year in an oil pan, even the Amsoil web site says it can go a year or so with out being changed with no degradation of the qualities of the oil..

one question.. would you run your engine for 10k with no filter?

I wont.. I wouldnt even start my car with out a top quality filter..
Wow!!!! Okay guys! He can't admit he is wrong! He just won't give up! HE is a Internet Bully!

Filter has little to do with engine oil life. Until you learn that, maybe you need to get a job at Jiffy lube, and you actually might learn a little something.

hahahah.. and WHO are these strangers? I will trust them as much as I trust you.... LOLOL..

You are so much fun..like I said.. G35..
The question that you continuously avoid.. Will you run your engine with the bypass open, or completely bypass the filter on your engine. If it has so little to do with the condition of the oil, then tell every one here that it will do no harm...

and I thought U gave up on here, ,just cant stay away can ya..

It's obviously you don't want to learn. And you are wasting our time.

I will give you the chance to prove to us where this info is where the oil filter plays a major role in oil breakdown? Where it shows that it removes all the acids, water, and other chemicals that destory the oil. We know the oil filter will filter out the small particles of debri, but where is the data backing up this other part?

If you can't back that up, then I suggest leave this thread. Because you are giving people bad info.

I did. But you slammed it. So I decided to prove you even more wrong.

Really? You seem to be the one people are seeing foolish. I don't see anyone backing you up now do I? LOL.

And now I am done here. Vegas, you have been proving wrong time and time again not only by me, but others here and even the most knowledgeable guys on the other forum I posted. But instead you say they have no clue what they are talking about basically.

I am done arguing with a child. It's the internet. Others can find out the info for themselves. I just don't like mis-information being posted that you did.

EOD. Enjoy the ride.

I will gladly admit when I am wrong,, when you show me I am wrong.. if you look back at all your posts you will see that you have contradicted your self way to many times to be deemed reliable.. You have claomed to be an expert oil dude, maybe at Jiffy Lube I dont know,, but you also state that you are an Amsoil distributor.. Look at the Amsoill sites,, everybody look.. wait, heres one for you bacause I know G35_TX has to have others do his research, I will make it easy..

http://www.thebestoil.com/filtration.asp

http://www.amsoil.com/faqs/faq_filte...e_6months.aspx
AMSOIL Motor Oils
AMSOIL INC. motor oils dramatically outperform conventional petroleum motor oil. Up to 35,000-mile or 1-year drain intervals

All of the above sites are from the oil that YOU, G35_TX state that you are an expert at.. Amsoil.. I havent even bothered to venture to some of the other oil makers,, YET

I know its tough, but if you could have some one read the past posts for you you will see that I did admit that the filter is not the ONLY factor in clean oil, posted by Goods.

These forums are for discussions, I am not arguiing with any one.. Im just showing you, and everyone else here, that the filter plays a vital role in clean oil and long engine life, It it the resident self proclaimed oil expert that will not admit that..

At least I havent resorted to childish name calling yet.. sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.

Now with that said here is some info that I think G35_TX might appreciate. Since you cant prove me wrong with your wit I had to do my own research to give you at least a chance to say its 50/50..

http://www.amsoil.com/faqs/faq_filte...e_6months.aspx
Oil Filter Changes At Six Month Intervals

Q. Why does AMSOIL say to change the AMSOIL SDF Oil Filter at six months regardless of the mileage. I have only gone 5,000 miles and figure that I could go the whole year without changing it and be good.

A. Once an engine is run with new oil, byproducts of combustion are introduced into the oil. These byproducts are harmful chemicals that continue to degrade the integrity of the motor oil as well as the oil filter media even though the engine may be off. This is why a time limit is published as well as mileage. Short trip driving can be just as detrimental to motor oil and filters as high mileage use, and even more so in some cases. It’s possible that the oil is still intact at the end of the published time limit, but oil analysis would be needed to verify this. Heavy trucks use this practice regularly, however in small sump capacity engines, the cost of the test is nearly as much as the cost of an oil change.

This still doesn't prove the oil filter is a major part when many tests show from bobs site that the oil is and all the other things I mentioned. I never contradicted myself once.

Sure the filter does filter out the dirt in the oil, but not the chemicals like water, fuel, carbon, and so on which is the worst thing to oil over dirt.

I have done years of research and testing myself. You obviously haven't. EOD. I will let the other few guys here continue. Yea I posted again just to tell you that isn't the info we requested. You can't back that statement up still it seems. Instead you attack me. LOL

Telling people that using a filter will add to your engine life is bad info?

And that the filter will prolong engine life is bad info?

And that not worrying about low milage after a year on one oil change is bad info?

ANd then providing all the websites that back up those statements is bad. WEbsites that you claim you are a distributor for.

All you have done is name calling and post stalking with nothing to back up your claims,, THATS BAD INFO..

I never claimed to be an expert, but I do do my research.. I have been around race cars for many many years, so all I have is experience and enough common sense to do research before I speak.

Now I have even go so far as to find a site that will give you a little bit of credability just to prove that I can admit when I am wrong. Lets see what kinda name you will call me for that one.
