Re: [AMC-List] oil filters

[Glen Hoag <hoag@xxxxxx>]

That's what I got out of the Puradyn link as well.  They indicated 
that Fram would be marketing some Puradyn products, which would carry 
both companies names, and that Puradyn would be marketing Fram 
products through their distribution system.  Puradyn is a US company, 
based in Boynton Beach, FL.

 From a look at Puradyn's product lineup, it is clear that their 
products are primarily for heavy equipment applications, not standard 
passenger car/light truck filters.  The company history page 
indicates as much; it says that the Puradyn system would be 
co-branded with the Fram Fleet Care trademark.

Off topic, Puradyn's product is a bypass oil filter, not receiving 
the full flow of oil.  It is designed to be installed downstream of 
the engine's full flow filter, trapping particulates down to 1 
micron, and has an electrically heated "evaporation chamber" designed 
to boil off any fuel or water that found its way into the oil.  The 
intent of such systems is to provide extended drain intervals in 
fleet vehicles that undergo regular oil analysis.
