Oil Filters
Aircraft oil filters – any made of sintered bronze balls for filtering? What other substances used to filter?

I was reading a Popular Mechanix magazine from the 1960′s, and a guy was claiming that the micro-welded bronze ball type of oil filter in airplanes of the day would allow an automobile engine to run 200k or more miles, that it filtered the tiny 2-4 micron-sized particles that kill most automobile engines. Any truth to that, and what type of filter material is used in aircraft engines now? Anyone tried to run an aircraft oil filter in an automobile?

You can “over filter” oil. This was a problem with the toilet roll filters of the seventies. These were only used in the automotive industry.
The filters used in large radial engines (Wright and P&W) were made up of series of disc shaped screens separated by corrugated spacers. These filters can be dismantled for cleaning.
The smaller engines fitted to bug smashers use a filter similar to those uesd in a car.
Gas turbine engines use gause type filters that can be cleaned and reused.
There is no reason why you couldnt use an aircraft filter in your car if you fabricate an adaptor to suit the car’s engine.

“You may take your oil filter for granted, but this small, inexpensive part of your vehicle’s lubrication system plays a vital role in protecting the engine from premature wear – particularly in a high-performance engine. Each moving part in the engine and the cylinder walls requires clean oil for proper lubrication and lasting life. That’s why TRD High-Performance Oil Filters are designed to hold 45% more dirt than the leading national brand – that means TRD filters keep filtering long after other filters have completely quit.;;;;TRD High-Performance Oil Filters also have a silicone anti-drain valve that stays flexible at extreme temperatures and eliminates dry start wear by retaining oil after engine shutdown. It’s all about the design – inside these oil filters you’ll find arch-pleated, low restriction internal filter media that lets the engine pump more oil, helping to protect vital engine components.;;;;TRD High Performance Oil Filters are available for virtually any Toyota or Scion model, and you can choose – the U.S.-sourced filters, which are white – or the Genuine TRD filters from Japan, which are red. Both deliver exceptional filtering performance backed by TRD quality.”
