Mighty debuts Engine Guard MAX oil filter

NORCROSS, Ga. (July 8, 2015) — Mighty Distributing System of America Inc. has launched Mighty Engine Guard MAX oil filters, designed to provide users with 10,000-mile protection when used with full-synthetic motor oils.

“The ability for full synthetic motor oils to provide longer, and therefore fewer, oil change intervals is great for reducing waste engine oil while still providing sufficient engine lubrication,” said Brad Bradshaw, Mighty's vice president, product management. “However, having these longer change interval capabilities from full-synthetic motor oils is only half of the equation. Now it becomes absolutely critical you have an engine oil filter that can last throughout a longer oil change interval as well.

“We've been working for many months now to ensure our new Mighty Engine Guard MAX oil filters utilize the proper materials, engineering design and construction techniques to provide a full 10,000 miles of engine protection.”

Mighty listed several key attributes that it said enable the new Engine Guard MAX to provide 10,000-mile protection:

• High-capacity synthetic blend filter media;
• Silicone anti-drainback valve that lasts longer for extended protection against engine dry start;
• Clinch-style steel base plate for greater burst resistance strength;
• Spiral-wound center tube for reinforced internal strength;
• Pressure relief valve, where required by OEM, to prevent oil restriction and ensure oil flow;
• PTFE sealing gasket for ease of installation and removal; and
• Steel end cap for integrity to the filter media during cold starts.
