I'd be grateful for advice as to which oil filter is best used in a twin, paper or felt.
Thanks for the reply - can you please say why you consider paper to be the best option.I'd be grateful for advice as to which oil filter is best used in a twin, paper or felt.
PEI did not suffer fools gladly to the same question asked by another , he said 'well I don't recommend sand.Good question - akin to "which is the best oil to use?!!" Paper filters are said to provide a higher flow which would appear to be a good thing. How do they do that? - Well presumably by having larger holes and/or a greater surface area. But there is the lingering question in my mind as to the possibilty of rupture(?) - especially on a cold morning with thick pulsing oil and a sharp sliver of metal….
Felt filters have been used successfully as original equipment for well over half a century so can't be ruled out as unsatisfactory.
When asked which is the best oil to use, Phil Irving thought carefully, rubbed his chin, then said: "Yes, use oil". I suspect his reply would have been in the same vein had he been asked which filter to use.
