Gold® Oil Filters
Originally developed for demanding race applications, our
premium oil filter is rapidly becoming a favorite among
consumers for its durability and easy removal. We’ve changed oil
filters and several of our product development technicians are
sportsman class drag racers. They insisted we offer an oil
filter that corrected the “headaches” they experienced over the
years changing oil filters.
Our Oil Filters Have Nuts
We have all been there: Whether it’s remembering where that
disappearing canister tool is; or having oil leak all over your
garage and yourself; or finally giving up and pounding a
screwdriver through the filter just to get if off. Where
applicable, our motorcycle and ATV oil filters come with a 17 mm
nut welded to the top of the canister so they can be easily
wrenched-off with a standard tool. Most of our automotive and
marine oil filters come with a 1" nut.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Extreme Conditions
To satisfy the demands of racers, our oil filter has many
features over and above the requirements of most vehicles. We
use thicker canister walls for extra strength and durability
which reduces the risk of damage from loose rocks and debris.
The heavy-duty construction will withstand higher oil pressures
found only in racing environments without bursting. The drilled
hole on the nut is for a safety wire attachment. Required for
many types of racing, the safety wire prevents blown oil filters
from falling on the track and representing a hazard to other
race vehicles. This extra engineering offers piece of mind for
consumers who want only the best.
High-Flow Rate
Our oil filters use resin impregnated cellulose filter media.
This allows for higher flow rates while providing outstanding
filtration. High filter flow rates are important in racing
vehicles where heavier grade oil is used and the oil is pumped
much faster than in a standard vehicle. When the engine is
circulating oil at high GPM rates, the high-flow oil filter
helps reduce the loss of pressure through the filtering process.
Compatible with the Latest in Synthetic Engine Oils
Our oil filters are ideal for high-end synthetic motor oil.
Synthetic motor oil is said to offer improved flow performance
at cold temperatures while providing superior protection against
thermal degradation.
TECH TALK
Our Performance Gold Oil Filters use a cellulose media bound by
phenolic resin surrounding a metal inner core that provides
structural strength to reduce the risk of filter collapse. The
resin is the "glue" that holds the media fibers together and at
the same time keeps "pores" open by keeping the fibers apart.
The resin is cured to full strength during the element
manufacturing process. Phenolic resin systems are an excellent
choice for the high temperature demands of oil filters. Our
filter includes an anti-drainback valve, when applicable, that
prevents oil from draining back into the crankcase during engine
shutdown. The anti-drainback valve is useful in situations where
the filter is mounted horizontally which could allow backflow.
We use rolled threads to help prevent stripping during
installation or removal and an internally lubricated gasket
provides a positive seal even after the filter has been removed
and reinstalled.
Warranty
Our oil filters are covered by a limited warranty to be free
from defects in materials and workmanship when installed and
replaced using engine and equipment manufacturers recommended
service intervals. |
