Default Re: Oil Filter Model A on timing cover

[QUOTEAs Werner said, the filter will not remove the black color from the oil. The black is from carbon, generally from too rich a mixture. The carbon particles are too fine to be trapped in the filter. The filter removes metal and abrasive particles. If it was made of fine enough material to catch the carbon it would plug up and bypass in a very short time.][/QUOTE]

Centrifugal oil filters do a good job of removing particulate oil contaminants. They're used on a lot of diesel engines.
