We've had the "Spinner" brand in the past and they did trap a fair bit of "crud" but whether they lengthened engine life to any degree was hard to say.............They could potentially lengthen the oil change interval though...........
Oil supply is taken from an oil gallery on the engine and plumbed to the filter assy. which causes a turbine inside the filter assy. to spin......Centrifugal force causes contaminants to stick to the outside of the turbine.......Clean oil then exits the filter assy. and is returned to a drain port in the side of the engine block or oil pan..........The filter assy. has to be disassembled occassionaly to have the contaminants removed and a new paper installed..........
IMO, they can't hurt BUT whether they justify their intial cost will depend soley on whether you choose to lengthen the oil change interval.......... AND you would want to base your decision for extended drain intervals on the reading obtained from the results of regular oil sampling.........Levels of solids/soot, viscosity readings, and TAN would all have to reflect favorable results.............
