Hubb oil filter?

Hi fellas,
Has anyone here tried a Hubb oil filter? They are a tad pricey but, new engines are too.

Honestly I would just use a tried and true NAPA gold and leave the tree hugging stuff for people who don't like going fast.
How often do you actually change your oil?

YES.....reviewing the HUBB info, it doesn't seem to say what the MICRON filtration rating is or info on changing the media or forecasted longevity or pressure drop across the filter at maximum flow or oil viscosity used or approximate innitial cost and media replacement costs. Just curious.......

Bob, did you look at the "View Benefits" tab? I thought they explained the operation fairly well.

• Include 2 pressure differential valves for increased oil flow and engine safety. Is one the anti-drain back valve; is the second one the bypass valve?
• Use easy-to-clean, reusable internal parts very possible but does not show the internal parts and how to disassemble the internals
• Improve oil flow by up to 5 times, when compared to conventional filters, to reduce engine friction. Is this the pressure drop across the media?
• Require .2 PSI/gallon to push oil flow, compared to 7 PSI/gallon for conventional filters. Is this the anti drain back valve opening point. What is is pump pressure at this point?
• Increase contaminant storage capacity by 5 times, but do not accumulate unrecyclable oil like conventional filters. Not sure what this means. Dirt is retained by the filter media, but does not say what the media is. What internal seals are replaced at each cleaning...and st what cost?
• Potential to reduce carbon monoxide emissions and nitric oxide emissions. Study available upon request. Not sure what this means, unless its related to oil consumption or recycling of used oil.
