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.
Due to the large volume of e-mails we receive we may not always be able to reply promptly. We are more than happy to answer your questions over the phone at any time.
Our phone number is 800-869-1160 or 818-248-6747. Daily business hours 10am to 7pm Pacific Time M-f and 10am to 4pm Saturdays.
