OMGWTF Oil filter blew up, and killed my turbo/motor
- Thread starter MmmBoost
- Start date
yeah, i have not been driving it. im going to keep it in the same condition as right after it happened. if they want to do oil analysis to prove that it blew when i say it did then im fine with that. plus, i still may be rebuilding this actual motor so i want to keep the damage to a minimum.
im for sure going to look into those canton filters. i remember seeing those before, and wow...

Appears the can separated at the base. Rare but it happens. While I'm also fan of PureOnes the one thing I don't like about them is the thin gauge steel used because it lowers impact protection. Anyway, send it back and see what they say. If it was their fault they'll make good on it
Fwiw never buy a filter without opening the box in store and carefully examining it for defects ie; bad threads, missing ADBV, metal chips, loose or missing center tube, ect. Don't wait until you get the thing home or let it sit on the shelf for a months.
Btw, anyone who actually believes Canton Mecca filters are 8 microns needs to do some research about something called beta ratios...

Hooray! I've got 160,000kms worth of Made in Japan Toyota filters coming for my AE86! I hope they're the same style as the 20004 filter was for the V8's... but do I dare cut one up to see?

I just ordered that same filter last week. Pricey, but worth it in comparison to the cost of a rebuild, etc.
Mmmboost: Hopefully they take responsibilty and pay for the repairs. I hope it works out in your favor.

So here is what I found so far
Is this in the right direction?http://www.techsolve.org/pdfs/Metal%20Removal%20Fluids%20Pollution%20Prevention%20Guide.pdf?PHPSESSID=ea92f0ed5077bc91772cb597d9b7b673 said:
I didn't see any data on Canton's site concerning this. Maybe I'll email them and see what they 'can' tell me.
MmmBoost said:wow, sounds promising.
funny thing is that i bought that filter at my work. Sears auto center. i have never had a problem with any purolator filter in my life, and most mechanics i work with along with anybody i know actually reccommends that filter over all others. i will still continue to use that filter, and i do believe that it was a faulty one. .
all in all, i still trust purolator filters over just about anything else. fuck, the replacement filter i put on there is a Powerflow (manufactured by purolator). but i do expect them to hold up their end of the bargain of their big ass "warranted against all defects" thing printed on the side of the box, and if it wasnt for their defective filter, my motor/turbo would be fine.
ill keep y'all updated with what happens, and thanks for the support
what a day.
Dude, You are insane if you will use that kind of filter again:aigo: Why not just use a Toyota filter and not have to worry about it exploding in half?
Yep! Could happen to just about any make of filter...except maybe the Canton Mecca :biglaugh:
I'd use a PureOne...overall track record is excellent.

jdub, you should dissect a Denso USA filter. I'd really like to know what someone else thinks about them before I order a few. What with you being into that sort of thing... and me presenting my typical Supra-owner cheapness.

Iirc the bypass valve setting on that filter is around 10-15 psi, as are most filters speced for this engine, including the OEM ones. Are you suggesting all those filters are in bypass when system oil pressure is above 10-15 psi? Do you understand what a BPV does and what pressure it responds to?
To the OP: How is your filter mount plumbed? Which line in the photo is oil into the mount?
no, I understand how they work and all, but I thought it was there to stop the filter from bursting or the engine from being starved of oil if the filter is clogged...
Ok, guess I misunderstood what you were getting at. My bad. The BPV only responds to pressure across the filter media. Otherwise it'd be in bypass much of the time. In this case the filter seems to have mechanically failed at the base plate while under normal pressure.
I use the Moroso heavy case filters for this very reason, my Motor makes 92psi at cruise so there's a good chance of a burst filter if I forget and give it a rav when it's cold....
I understand you havent had problems with your brand of filters in the past but most parts are made dont just have one or two bad ones, they come in batches of bad ones till either the problem was cought and chances are they didnt find the real start of the problem and some went out anyways. it happens where i work everyday. this morning I heard of the shipping clerk noticing all kinds of bad product as it was being shipped out. they contacted the plant manager and we didnt have enough product made to replace all the possible bad pallets of product so he just said to replace the ones you can see on the outside of the pallet and shipped them out anyways. this stuff happens all the time, but with all the $ they make on the mass production the few claims that do come back are still cheaper than doing whats right and replace all the bad products. sad but true.
if i was you, and wanted to keep using that brand of filter i'd atleast order a new shipment of them so that hopefully the time they were made were at least days after the bad one that blew.
just my 2 cents.
