Collection: Piaa Twin Power Oil Filters

We haven’t been doing much driving lately, but we’re sure a lot of you out there have been tinkering with your toys a lot more than usual. And outside of those DIY projects that have kept your hands full (and your wallets begging for mercy) throughout quarantine, we reckon you’ve been busy keeping your car in tip-top shape as well. It’s amazing how spare time can translate to some TLC for your car, right? 

If that’s the case, then here’s something we think you should check out, especially if your car’s engine oil is scheduled for a change: PIAA’s Twin Power Magnet Oil Filter. This special filter from PIAA—a brand that gearheads are probably familiar with—boasts a two-layer filtration structure composed of a 10-micron and a 20-micron paper filter. It’s supposedly 150% more effective than conventional filters.

In between these two filters is a 100millitesla magnetic ring that helps attract metal debris—debris that could potentially wreak havoc throughout the engine if it weren’t kept from flowing back through the oil filter itself. This magnet can work hand-in-hand with some new oil pan designs which have built-in magnets, or those oil drain plugs with magnetic tips available in some vehicles, making the entire filtration process all the more effective.
