Hi all,
What are the opinions out there on Ryco oil filters? Specifically for Aussies (and Kiwis since they're made there), are Ryco filters as good as they get? The one for the R12 is certainly a whopper - it's twice the size of a genuine sized one. (I know the smaller ones have the paper convoluted two ways so that the surface area is similar.)
I've always wondered as I've read that they can have a valve in them that isn't set correctly in very cheap filters - but as far as I'm aware, the only valve in them is a bypass valve, which would only open if the filter clogged. And of course, none of us Froggy's fans filters would ever get to that stage Some Ryco's have an anti drain back valve dpendng on the car, but this obviously wouldn't be affected critically by release spring pressure.
Ryco's have also been around since at least the early 70's as we used to sell them in the roadhouse we owned. I'm sure they must be good, otherwise they wouldn't enjoy such a huge market - but I've got nothing to back this up.
