Anyone using the AKT / "TACOMOTO CO Oil Filters?" --- Neat idea, is this legit?!

Here is a you tube links. I don't know what to think yet? Sounds interesting but more than I will pay for a oil filter.    https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=MOTHER+OF+ALL+OIL+FILTERS+BY+TACOMOTO+CO

I would rather run a OEM filter or quality replacement. They’re tried and true 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s a large magnet. What happens to dirt and non-ferrous metals?

Exactly.

I mean, it probably catches a lot of stuff eventually, but how many times did that garbage circulate through your bearings before it stuck to the magnet?

Seems sketchy. 

It is all explained in the link.

I don't know enough about magnets to say much of anything in a technical sense, but I'm a little more than skeptical on the claims.

If this worked why isn’t Toyota or Honda using it in their cars?

It's cool and maybe it does work, but might be hard to establish whether it's better.

Sometimes things are so simple and effective, it's hard to make them better without making them more complicated. 

At that price, you’re spending an equivalent of 21+ paper filters. Assuming you change oil filters every 5 hours (which is probably a little more frequent than necessary), you wouldn’t break even til over 100 hours. A paper medium will not discriminate against dirt, steel, aluminum or whatever—it’ll trap everything. Beyond that, I don’t know how much I trust static electricity to overcome the force of fast moving, pressurized oil to collect non ferrous particles. 
 

I guess I don’t know what problem this solves for $220. It’s a cool idea, though, and I may be convinced of its merits. 

They do work and attract non ferrous metals because everything gains a static charge in your engine and is attacted to the magnet. It has its advantages like more flow and pressure to oil circuit. I don't run one tho because the price is to high.

No, not interested. Paper filter media consistently shows the best performance at filtering down to very small particles while allowing good flow rates, and it’s pretty cheap. I won’t even use a washable SS oil filter. 

They are claiming it grabs stuff too small to get caught in paper. 

Absolutely legit. The heavy equipment industry has been using them for over 20 years. It’s easy to understand the skepticism, but they work excellent in KTM build oil system’s. 
keep in mind the pre filters remove larger particles. By the time the oil reaches the filter galley, mainly smaller particles are getting there. The magnetic rod attracts the ferrous metals and the fibers and what not are statically charged and attached too. 
 

Paper filters micron specs are based on an average. So many of the filters pores can be almost double the stated size. I’ve seen photos with the AKT rod that captured plenty of debris that the paper filter let by just after a very short run. 
 

The question isn’t whether they work as claimed, but rather are they cost effective. 

I’ve been using it for over a year in a Husky with 18,000 miles.
It works as described. Only downside is that paper does help with stopping moisture from passing through in wet conditions, and if you don’t ride much, the extra filtration provided to the cam and upper valve train probably isn’t going to justify the cost.
