Never seen an oil filter fall apart before, wherever you buy the oil filters from just make sure they don’t have a paper element in them. I’m looking forward to seeing the synopsis from the oil pump testing and dissection. Nice work

Looked on the Summit, Jegs website. (Kaiser Air Co also has several for screw compressors.) dedicated to just oil/gas filtration. There are several inline's out there available. "Smallish" screw top aluminum housing with some coming with interchangeable micron filters or replacements (no paper media) with varying size in/out openings capable of filtering the Andromeda strain. Prices range from $60ish up to the low/mid hundreds.
That's happening.
p.s. Editing the YT video will take as much time as the bench test itself, Going to try split screen...maybe.

Had a concern this morning about oil free flowing from the pump with no rotation.

Conferred with mikidymac about & informed me of a check valve located @ the port. The YT video reveals the cracking pressure of this particular pump port(s). Used air pressure @ first followed by using oil. Turned out to be one slippery mess so I posted the "cleaner" endeavor. Cracking pressure remain un-changed with or w/o.

More to come, a lot more...
