The Canton Racing Products SPIN-ON FILTERS are billet aluminum housings that are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and have a blue anodized finish. These housings are 30 percent lighter than cast aluminum and they feature a 3-1/4 inch diameter with a screw-in end cap. CM spin-on filters use the same high flow and fine filtration element that top racing teams depend on in their CM remote filters. The CM spin-ons give high performance results without the extra lines and fittings required by remote filters. They're ideal for applications where room for a remote is limited or the simplicity of a spin-on is desired. These housings will not burst under pressure surges and they can stand up to the rough service of dirt or off-road racing.
CM spin-on oil filters are offered in several different combinations of mounting thread and sealing gaskets, along with two lengths to fit most engine applications. Each housing comes complete with all the necessary O-rings and gaskets required, and one 8 micron synthetic filter element. APPLICATIONS: The housings are manufactured in two different sizes. The 25-200 series filter housing is 4-1/4" long, 3-1/4" in diameter and accepts our CM-15 2-5/8" high, 8-micron filter element, which flows 15 GPM of hot engine oil with no loss of pressure.The CM 25-400 series SPIN-ON OIL FILTERS are 6-1/4" long, 3-1/4" in diameter and accept CM's -45 4-5/8" high 8 micron element. The equivalent of 4 H.P.-type filters in flow rate and filtering capacity, these filters can handle the most extreme automotive requirements.
CM filters were developed to better protect expensive racing engines. A filter was needed that would handle a continuous high flow of oil while filtering out small particles. The flow should not be restrictive even when the filter is partially contaminated and all the oil should be filtered all the time. The element should not be affected by moisture which erodes paper elements, and it should withstand pressure surges without collapsing or rupturing. The CM filter element meets these requirements and overcome the shortcomings of conventional filters. In the years since their development these oil filters have proven themselves in NASCAR, SCCA, IMCA, IRL, and NHRA racing and on countless street miles.
Conventional spin on filters have an element made from porous material (usually paper) which catches contaminant’s on its surface. The flow limitations of this design require a compromise between large pores for more flow, which also lets bigger particles through all the time or a bypass which lets unfiltered oil during times of high flow. When designing the CM filter this compromise was eliminated by going to depth filtration, where oil flows through millions of intertwined passages and contaminant’s are caught within the element. The flow characteristics of this design allows for finer filtration with greater flow without the need for a bypass valve. The synthetic fiber element material which is moisture resistant is sandwiched between two steel cages for surge protection.
CM elements filter out particles down to 8 microns, half the size of what the average spin-on filter does and has a flow rate even when contaminated, that is far greater than that required by any automotive application. Depth filtration extends filter element life because it can catch far more contaminates without restricting flow. Because of it’s longevity CM filters are a natural match for use with the longer lasting synthetic oils.
