What's the point in longer life?
Anyone who has changed plugs on a Mig V6 (and is being honest) will know the answer to that.I've torqued spark plugs to correct value, yet on inspection are looser than fitting.
Not come across that myself. Did you grease them do you recall?
Plug change on a V6? Takes minutes
Also, water can get sucked up the exhaust as it stalls, which also fills the cylinders with water, same result.
Sorry but this is just cobblers, or dangle berries, choose your preferred term. Anyone with any understanding of the 4 stroke cycle will know that an engine will not suck up its exhaust. I know its an esteemed admin saying it but sometimes you just have to speak up when someone talks out of their exhaust.
Never heard of back pressure then?
Sure have. Have you?
pressure
ˈprɛʃə/
noun
noun: pressure
1.
continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
"the gate was buckling under the pressure of the crowd outside"
suction
ˈsʌkʃ(ə)n/
noun
noun: suction
1.
the production of a partial vacuum by the removal of air in order to force fluid into a vacant space or procure adhesion.
I canz uze Google.
Gold Star!
When the airfilter clogs, it stands to reason that some of the exhaust gasses will be drawn back into the lower pressure caused by piston downstrokes.There's that word again. 'Pressure', 'reduced pressure', neither is going to suck up water. There is some dangle berries talked on this forum.
Whilst this is unlikely to draw water all the way along the exhaust, it does significantly reduce the pressure within the exhaust
Normal running its not going to suck in, but as it stalls it would. Seen it a few times here, during the floods.
Few cars have bought it this way

But we consider it more a forum wide view.Quad gaps will last much longer than twins. Why? Because you have 4 electrodes to erode instead of 2.
Plus the quads offer no advantage over the cheaper twins and arguably will shield the spark more....all for the sake of longer service intervals (during which time they tend to come loose anyway)

. I'm pretty sure you won't be fined if it is just left on a road, insured and taxed.
Because of rubbish post like your dbdb.Oh dear. I don't talk out my a**e and present it as gospel like a very few here often do, in my experience. I quote from my own experience and I explain why I think something. I don't just say cobblers or rubbish. I have had experience of 2 cartridges and 2 spins on with migs. My first had a spin on then a new engine with a cartridge, my second had a cartridge and I changed it back to spin on.
Bad advice IMO. There isn't enough of a difference to warrant messing about with it. Yet your telling somebody who has both as a direct comparison, that one is better than the other.
I thought I was quite restrained in my original answer but obviously I wasn't clear enough. Only an idiot would remove the filter before draining the sump, letting the filter drain, and so letting the oil coolYou shouldn't get hot oil by the time you've drained the sump . Equally you should only get a few drips if you have waited for the sump to empty.Cobblers
Anyone who thinks about it let alone does it will know a spin on is easier to remove than a cartridge.The spin on is easier to removeCobblers
Well I've never had a spin on leak, yet a cartridge has.The spin on is less likely to leak,Cobblers
Its is almost impossive to screw up fitting a spin onI've never had a spin on leak and my last cartridge leaked when done by National Disgrace. The spin on is much less likely to be over tightened and jam.No part is infallible from retards incorrectly fitting it
Just bought one for £1.86 delivered and inc VAT. What are you paying for the cartridges in trade club?The spin on is around half the price of the cartridge.About 2/3rds, agree it is cheaper
of course it's not, just think about it. Spin on - unspin and chuck. Cartridge - unbolt, remove oil soaked paper element, clean out inside, insert new paper element bolt back on without crushing the paper element.The spin on is much less messy, just chuck the old one, no messing with replacing the paper.The paper element is definately less messy to replace
There is at least one example on this forum of a paper element being crushed. Have you every bought a crushed spin on?I suspect the spin on is a more effective filter. You cannot crush the paper when fitting a spin on unlike a cartridge.I would actually say that I think the paper element type is more effective than the spin on. Not quite sure how you can crush the paper element. But at least you can check the integrity of it before fitting.
Apart from that the cartridge is great.I'm not fussed which is fitted. Both my Omegas have one of each. I have a slight preference to the paper element type, due to slightly less messy change, and the fact it doesn't soak the crank sensor in hot oil. But its not enough of an advantage to change the spin-on type - having them all the same is a stronger argument.
The Spin-on does have the advantage of being able to write on it the mileage and date of change (which caught out those lying retard bastards at Evans Halshaw in Milton Keynes
also note they are life timeMy a**e they are.

Yes I forgot Miele they are meant to be very good, never had one myself but friends speak very highly of them, if you want to spend a lot on a cleaner spend it on a Miele not a Dyson.
My first and last Dyson was an early model I think the DC01. I very soon discovered that although 'bagless' you do have to replace theseat £30 a time. I knew then I had been conned. Later the plastic just started falling apart. Lovely fancy clear plastic but brittle.
All I can say is the advertising must be very good if people still like them.
