In response to many of the questions regarding the Scott's

Performance stainless oil filters now offered for the various

models of road bikes: we have found that the 304 stainless

screen type filter does offer better overall filtration than paper type filters.

Paper filter manufacturers may claim that their filters

will catch particles of 10 microns. This is true, but what they

may not tell you is that the same filter may also pass a

particle of up to 300 microns. Of the filters tested, we found

the smallest particles passed ranged from 9 to 20 microns

and the largest were from 56-300. This making the average

size of particles filtered by paper filters much larger than

that of the stainless screen type at 35 microns absolute. Absolute means that all portions of the screen filter the same.

Our filters have a neodymium magnet in the top of the

filter to catch large particles before they reach the screens

surface.

With paper filters, you take them off the bike and throw

them in the trash. Our filter allows you to inspect for abnormal particles during cleaning. This may catch an engine problem before expensive damage does occur.

Reusable, inspectable, 35 micron screen...Increadible!



How about a zx-12r group discount? Maybe on an order of 10 filters for...say...$650~750?

ha, ha you guys are funny.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> i still have everything stock for the bike, just in case. but when it comes to oil filters and such, i am not aware of anything after-market that provides the same level of protection. no amount of hp is worth messin' with that.

You actually are taking a bigger chance by installing a PC than aftermarket oil filter. You can tear an engine up a lot quicker by changing a/f mixture and playning with timing incorrectly.



Slopoke-we're just gonna have to call you "paper or plastic" because you are definitel a "stock boy!"

Yes we install them all the time, We recommend Scotts filters over OEM, because the 304 stainless screen type filter offers better overall filtration than paper type filters. Scotts filters catch particles as small as 35 microns and have a neodymium magnet in the top of the filter to catch large particles before they reach the screens surface. Secondly and most importantly is with paper filters you take them off the bike and throw them in the trash. Scotts filters allows you to clean and reuse it again.



Contact us for more information.

ASCARacing, $$$ ?, post what it would cost me tomorrow. Thats how we do things here. Just ask Doug @ Spencer Cycle, we like cold, hard numbers.

I'm no lube expert like lubricity seems to be but i have had experience in oil quality management for multi-million dollar equipment. First off, why anyone has to blindly throw away a filter is beyond me. It's not hard to open them up and inspect them. Unravel the paper and check it out with at least a magnifying glass. If you have a microscope available, so much the better. I always do this because I just gotta know. As far as what size particles are getting through, if I was worried about it I think it would be wise to have one of those labs do an analysis on your oil. I'm not that paranoid about microscopic particles but if I was it's better to have it checked. I have gone so far as to take some hot oil from my crankcase, put it in a glass cigar tube and attach it to a vertical mill for a few hours to "centrifuge" the sample. You might be surprised at what you see!!!

I started listening to Speednuts comments on the Scotts filter, and I liked what I heard. I also did quite alot of digging on my own, and I am still liking what I hear. I like scientific proof and I've found it. I am buying a Scotts, for that reason.



As far as the oil goes, I've heard so many opinions by racers, oil experts, molecular engineers and guys that just have an opinion that my head was starting to spin.



The following article wrapped up what I had been feeling in my gut for a long time. Mobil 1 for me. As I said, scientific proof. (BTW - I was a Castrol GTX guy, up until last year).

As we have said before call us for prices, as we have agreed with Eric at Scotts Performance, we would not post any discount pricing on the Internet, As we value our relationship with all of our suppliers, it got to be that way...



We could not see where Spencer Cycles posted his prices for Scotts filters...

</p>
 
ASCARacing, I didn't say that Doug posted a price for the Scotts filter. I was talking about the price Doug posted on his website (and directed us to - by link) on the Akro/PC3R/K&N Filter (which, by the way I bought).



Here is the scoop. Within the next week or so, myself and probably more than one other person from this site are going to buy a Scotts filter.



What I am looking for is why should I buy that product from you? Better price, better service, etc...



I have dealt with Doug personally, and I can tell you that so far even if Doug is beyond your price I'll still order it from him. Why? Customer service.



I have his email address and know his name, all I know you by is ASCARacing. Get my drift?
