Euro Synthetic Oils - About Canton CM Oil Filter Systems

Euro Synthetic Oils has been looking for an Oil Filter Line that could match the versatility and quality of the Motor Oils and Lubricants offered on our Website. After a great deal of research, we have selected the CANTON RACING PRODUCTS CM OIL FILTER LINE. The Canton oil filter line is comprised of billet aluminum SPIN-ON FILTERS with synthetic filter elements and REMOTE FILTERS. There are two sizes of SPIN-ON FILTERS,4-1/4 inches long by 3-1/4 inches in diameter, and 6-1/4 inches long by 3-1/4 inches in diameter.

There are four types of remote filter systems; 1)CANISTER OIL FILTERS , 2)CANISTER OIL FILTER KITS, 3)IN-LINE OIL FILTERS, and 4)SPIN-ON OIL FILTER KITS. There are two types of canister filter elements that be used; synthetic fiber filter elements and stainless screen filter elements. Moreover, canister filters come in two sizes, 4 inch and 6 inch. The IN-LINE FILTERS are available in two different sizes: 6 inches long and 9 inches long by 2-3/4 inches in diameter. with three different filter elements: synthetic fiber, stainless screen and a "dual stage filter element containing both synthetic fiber and stainless screen components. This should give you a good thumbnail sketch of the CM oil filter line. Each of these oil filters systems are contained on separate pages within the EURO SYNTHETIC OILS' website.

We researched and looked for a quality oil filter line that possessed the following attributes:

(1) Oil filters that flow a significant amount of oil measured in gallons per minute (GPM). Oil filters that that filter well, but not at the expense of proper oil flow are not proper for high performance or racing engines; or, street vehicles and their engines. Oil flow is especially important when the engine is being raced or run hard, using high viscosity oils, or very importantly, at start-up. We worried that many of today's top oil filters (in terms of filtering) are often-times running with opened bypass valves under the aforementioned conditions. When these bypass valves are open, the oil is moving through the engine unfiltered.

(2) Oil filters that are efficient at relatively low micron measurements. An oil filter should be capable of filtering down to at least 15-20 microns to keep the oil, and thus engine, free of large potentially damaging particles. CM oils filters - filter down to 8 microns and still retain excellent flow characteristics.

(3) We desired oil filters that would remain effective beyond the typical 3,000-4,000 mile oil change intervals. Almost, by definition, this implies an oil filter with synthetic filter media with a large "capture" volume, as well as a filter media that would last for extended oil change intervals. CM oil filters can withstand the rigors of 10,000 (4 inch filters) mile oil change intervals and 6 inch filter up to 20,000 miles.

(4) Finally, we wanted oil filters that would could withstand the rigors of racing and high performance driving that may include extreme fuel dilution, including exotic fuel dilution such as alcohol and "nitro" (nitromethane). Also, the oil filter must be able to withstand the extreme pressures of racing and high performance driving while maintaining good oil flow and filtration without the "can popping"!! What we have just described is the CANTON RACING PRODUCTS CM OIL FILTER LINE. EURO SYNTHETIC OILS selected this oil filter line after a good deal of forethought and research. Look over the CM Oil Filter line and we are sure you will find an oil filter to "fit your needs"!

(CM) High Performance - Racing Oil Filters

CM Oil Filters were designed to protect expensive racing engines, CM oil filters can handle a continuous high flow of oil while filtering out small particles far more effectively than conventional filters--all the way down to 8 microns! With their special DEPTH FILTRATION DESIGN, oil flows through millions of intertwined passages and any contaminants are caught within the filter element. The flow capabilities of the CM element is far beyond what's required by any automotive application. This long-lasting filter is perfect for your high-revving engine. Replaces most spin-on filters.

As mentioned above, CM Filters were developed to better protect expensive racing engines. A filter was needed that would handle a continuous high flow of oil while filtering out small particles. The flow should not be restrictive even when the filter is partially contaminated and ALL OF THE OIL SHOULD BE FILTERED ALL OF THE TIME. The element should not be affected by moisture which erodes paper elements, and it should withstand pressure surges without collapsing or rupturing. The CM filter element meets these requirements and overcome the shortcomings of conventional filters. In the years since their development, CM Oil Filters have proven themselves in NASCAR, SCCA, IMCA, IRL, and NHRA racing and on countless street miles.

Conventional spin on filters have an element made from porous material (usually paper) which catches contaminant�s on its surface. The flow limitations of this design require a compromise between large pores for more flow, which also lets bigger particles through all the time or a bypass valve which lets unfiltered oil during times of high or thick oil flow. When designing the CM filter this compromise was eliminated by going to depth filtration, where oil flows through millions of intertwined passages and contaminant�s are caught within the filter element. The flow characteristics of this design allows for finer filtration with greater flow without the need for a bypass valve. The synthetic fiber element material which is moisture resistant is sandwiched between two steel cages for surge protection.

CM elements filter out particles down to 8 microns, half the size of what the average spin-on filter does and has a flow rate even when contaminated, that is far greater than that required by any automotive application. Depth filtration extends filter element life because it can catch far more contaminates without restricting flow. Because of it�s longevity CM filters are a natural match for use with the longer lasting synthetic oils.

CM offers several different types of housings for these elements. Lightweight aluminum remote canister housings are available for both the 2-5/8" tall and the 4-5/8" tall filter elements. While these styles have been most popular in racing, they are a good option for applications where a conventional spin-on is in a hard to access place. CM spin-on housings are offered for both the 2- 5/8" and the 4-5/8" tall filter filter elements with thread and o-ring combinations that fit most engines. These machined aluminum housings will last the life of your car.
