Can all contaminants be seen with naked eyes?
As a part 2 of #knowyouroil series, we will discuss about Particle Contamination. Whenever we talk about contamination the first thing that comes to our mind is solid particles that we can see or feel. But what we do not understand is how big a particle can really cause wear and tear to your machines, can all contaminants be seen with naked eyes? Is it too late to wait until then?
To answer the above questions we must first understand the actual clearance size of the different types of lubrication film formed between rolling and rotating components which is essential for providing proper lubrication. Oil film thickness in machinery is measured in microns (µm), or one-millionth of a meter.

Below are the finest tolerance found in different types of components.
When small particles, which cannot be seen through human eyes, pass through the critical machine parts under load, they create small microtears which get transformed into cracks over a period of time due to continuous stress and strain conditions leading to the more fine generation and hence increase contamination.
The contaminants that are considered to be most damaged are from size 2 to 20 µm and avoiding these are key to keeping your machinery breakdown free.
But it is also important to understand when to call the oil clean and when dirty, as it is understood that changing oil very frequently and maintenance every time is not feasible.
Below chart shows us what particle levels are admissible and what harms our system.
But knowing this is not enough if we don’t know when to get oil sampling and testing done. Below chart provides an estimation for testing and the type of test to be conducted.

Torque Solution oil filter heat blanket for the 98 LGT. Great addition for those with unequal length headers or if you just want to keep oil temps in check. Held on by strong magnets so it also helps with oil filtration. I got the "tall" version which fits the taller K&N filters or the Mazda filter. They make a "short" version for the stock filter size.
P.N. TS-SU-529 (tall), TS-SU-528 (short)
From TS:
"Torque Solution Thermal Oil Filter Blanket for Subaru EJ oil filters is an easy solution to help reduce oil temps. The design of the EJ engine has the oil filter placed where the header wraps around it. This causes the oil temps to increase due to radiating heat off of the header. Our oil filter blanket will help to block that heat keeping oil temps down especially during long pulls or spirited driving. The oil filter blanket is equipped with magnets for a super easy install, which keeps the blanket in place. Another benefit from the magnetic design is to be able to trap fine metallic debris in the oil filter.
- Made from Crushed Volcanic Lava Rock (Basalt) Material
- Easy Magnetic Install
- Helps Catch Fine Metallic Debris
- High resistance to abrasions, oil spills, temperatures and vibration breakdown
- Can withstand 1200F direct continuous / 2000F intermittent heat
- Helps Reduce Oil Temps
- Convenient Pull Tab"
$55 for three quarts and a filter, motorcycle maintenance is expensive.
