Or if the column of oil is high enough, air bubbles could even come up
through the oil pump - what I suspect was actually happening.
Assuming that there is even a valve in the engine.

It's common knowledge that nitrile gets hard in service much sooner
than silicone. That may or may not show up in the testing procedure,
but it sure shows up out in the real world. You know, where people
actually drive their cars.

A person would have to be "superstitious" to believe that there is
absolutely nothing to a whole mess of reports of failures just because
he himself has never experienced one. I've never blown a rod out the
side of a block, either, and I don't need to to know that that is one
possible result of running without oil.

I never said that they were prone to low oil pressure. I said that
when used with inferior oil filters with faulty ADBVs that they would
have a *no* oil pressure condition on a cold start. 100% factual
statement, and true for *any* engine with an upside-down filter and no
ADBV built into the filter mount.

Nope. It fixed the problem.

I fail to see how completely rectifying the problem implies
misdiagnosis.

Wix doesn't calim to use a silicone anti-drain back valve on all
filters. The Wix advertising copy that shows a silicone anti-drain
abck valve also includes a disclaimer that says "Some filters may or
may not have these specific features due to OE requirements or other
manufacturing processes. Refer to individual part numbers for specific
details." Unfortunately the individual details available from the Wix
website does nto include this information.

And Fram does offer filters with silicone anti-drain back valves, you
just pay more to get them (the Tough Guard product line).

Yeah and that proves what. Is it your position that if two or more people share

The column of oil high enough? you mean like if it was 50 feet high? There is no
way air can get in from the pick up side of the oil pump unless the oil in the
pan is extremely low. Your "air bubbles could even come up through the oil pump"
is just another work of fiction.

I don't have to. The Society of Automotive Engineers and the International
Organization for Standardization has overseen the testing that supports my
position. There are both SAE and ISO standards for these things and numerous
tests to verify that standards are being met. There is probably more testing
done on oil filters than on the food you eat. If you think there are flaws in
those test procedures you prove it. I have experience working for a small
company that makes the housings that oil filters are fastened to. From what they
have told me I know that after market oil filters are tested to death. There is
no evidence at all from all the extensive testing to support your claims.

Yeah like no engineer ever thought of what would happen in the real world? Do
you think you are the first to think of that. You think no testing has ever been
done using real world conditions?

That is the evidence that exists. You either rely on that evidence or like you
you rely on speculation.

I know for a fact that when cold a properly working slant six will not start up
without oil pressure. It is designed not to do that, and in my experience with
latterly hundreds of cold starts I am convinced that the design is extremely
reliable.

You said you changed the oil and the low oil pressure problem at start up went
away. If the engine was working properly those symptoms never would have been
there in the first place (the engine itself is designed to prevent that without
any help from the filter). And then you said even after your so-called "fixing"
the problem the engine still had a slight knock on start up. Typically on these
engines when working properly the oil pressure light would go off before the
engine began firing and would never exhibit symptoms of low oil pressure at
startup no matter what filter was on it.

You're an idiot. No use wasting any more electrons on you. Go ahead
and use your shitty orange cans, I don't care. I just hope you're not
a real mechanic and never do any work on any of my cars. I'd like to
say that that's impossible, but I *have* seen some really incompetent
"mechanics" out there.

I suppose you believe in order for me to become not an idiot I would
need to have an engine with low oil pressure and spread folklore tales
on the internet about how my engine got to be like that? I guess in your
mind, everyone who is not having that experience is obviously
demonstrating idiocy.

It's not hard to see why you would be concerned about finding a good
mechanic. With your superstitions it would be just as hard for you to
determine if a mechanic was competent to fix your problems as it would
for you to figure out what is wrong yourself.
