MAGNA-GUARD ™

Particle Test

Removes 40-times more grit than your filter alone.

 

TITAN LABORATORIES, INC.

The subject Peterbilt engine (CAT C12) using a Premo LT-30P oil filter system equipped with a 1.2 micron filter. A baseline test was performed at an interval of 15,000 miles as indicated on the Analysis Report dated 4/11/01. Magna-Guard Oil Polishing Magnets were then inserted into the oil filter. After 15,000 miles, the second test was performed dated 4/30/01. Please note the dynamic improvement in particle reduction (PPM), especially in nonferrous materials. All changes are indicated by percentages.

Tests conducted by:
Titan Laboratories, 1380 Zuni Street, PO Box 40567, Denver, CO 80204

Samples taken 4/6/01 & 4/25/01 respectively.
Oil analysis report measuring parts per million (PPM), particle size 0.5 microns.

As demonstrated by the following SAE Technical Papers, the benefits of oil particle reduction in the 10 micron range are:

a) An 8 to 14 times reduction in engine wear.
b) Up to 2 times increase in oil service life.
c) Up to 2 times increase in filter service life.
d) Up to 5% improvement in fuel economy.
The ultimate benefits are greater diesel engine performance over extended life with lower operating costs.

Magna-Guard's Oil Filter Magnet added to any filter controls particle contamination down to 0.5-microns. This is a 20-times improvement in particle control as compared to the SAE Technical Papers.

These tests were provided by Jim Harris of Titan International. He would be glad to answer any specific questions concerning these tests and his filtration system. He can be reached at 800-875-8751.
