CM - Replacement Elements

Synthetic fiber element - The CM filter uses a replaceable depth filtration element, made from woven synthetic fibers. You can compare it to a three dimensional "sponge" rather than the tow dimensional paper element that comes in most of today's filters. This thick three dimensional element contains millions of intertwined passageways that catch contaminants and also provide superior flow characteristics so they don't require a bypass valve. This depth filtration extends filter element life because it can catch far more contaminates without restricting flow.

Screen element - Designed for racing and high performance applications, CM screen filters provide general filtration and the ability to easily monitor oil flow for contaminants. This is the best way to prevent minor problems from becoming major ones. CM fine elements (130 mes/180 micron) are recommended for automotive engine applications where filtering all significant particles without restricting flow is needed. CM's coarse (50 mesh/250 micron) elements are recommended when heavier oil is used and the particles being monitored are larger, as in transmissions and differential.
