I am currently looking at a "budget" coolant filtration option myself. I noticed my delta was about 10F running 70mph unloaded (with AC on) with a 2k old oil cooler. It's almost new still. I fear that the new oil cooler is already starting to clog up with old crud from the cooling system. If there is a decent, low cost option to help slow this unfortunate clogging, it would be better than nothing.

I went with stainless housing for longevity and a bit of space savings. Also less Oaky looking.

 

How about an updated photo of it?

 

Here you go:




Whole house with 10 micron string wound filter

 

FYI: String wound is the only filter cartridge that work, don't use the pleated filter as the plastic ends will dissolve over time. The ultimate would be a stainless steel sieve cartridge, but they're pricey.

 

That looks so much better than the original one. Great job!

 

Thanks, one thing I miss on the clear poly filter was the ability to see how much crud was collecting on the cartridge.
