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.
