Black Engine Oil Recycling Testing 8

[mohsin5620]

this sucks they never once tell about the chemicals they are pouring inside they should have atleast showed it once in for a while now we dont know what the heck is going on the reaction side

what are you using for filtration media? 

[heartlessvietboy]

I wonder if there has been extensive testing on the effectiveness of engine oil filters. Oil passing through paper does not seem very well clean and practical. Oil filters today improves oil quality to 12,000 miles. That is a big difference compared to 3,000 mile oil filters of the past. Does that mean that engine oil filters of the past damages the engine 4x's more than today? Does that mean that the engine of the past were driven under poor quality oil thus damaging the engine?

@heartlessvietboy Multiple improvements over time have been the difference. Engines run cleaner today, thanks to computerized management. Oil formulas have greatly improved. Oil filtration is about as good as it can get FOR THE WAY IT IS. When you improve the filtering characteristics oil flow rate and pressure will drop. You give up the steady flow the engine needs UNLESS you use a bypass filter design...look up FS-2500.

[heartlessvietboy]

The oil filter can be improved ten times more. Whether it is knowing that one filter is better than two, making the oil filter larger, changing the filter paper to micro-fiber, re-working the oil pump, or anything else. And yes, a super motor oil that only requires changing once a year will also do. But it is too late for that. The electric car revolution is here.

@heartlessvietboy I would not say it's too late. There will always be ships, trains and trucks, not to mention airplanes.

[heartlessvietboy]

You are right. Trucks and buses may have to go natural gas because if they went electric it would be quite dangerous. Airplanes and ships who knows. Who knows anything. I dont even know if the NGV requires motor oil.

[dieselscience]

@heartlessvietboy CNG engines do need oil, as do many electric vehicles. The use of oil will decline BUT remember, MOST petrochemistry has nothing to do with vehicles or transportation. Oil will always be around and electric cars will never make it go away. Food for thought- most natural gas comes from oil wells....

[heartlessvietboy]

Can crude oil be called natural oil?

[FelchBelcher]

@heartlessvietboy Absolutely, it is. When in college I didn't major in chem but I took two years of it, gen. and org. with labs. Crude oil is, without a doubt, 100% natural and purely organic, in both characteristics and composition. Coal, natural gas and methane hydrates are, as well. If you are looking for what the next 'oil boom' will be...methane hydrates. Almost as abundant as oil and, UNlike crude oil, they are constantly being regenerated.

What's interesting is no one has shown how engine oil passes through an oil filter in an automobile. You'd figure oil is Thick and would require an oil filter that's much more complicated than what we're using right now.
