  • TOPDOG V: A FAST AND EASY TO INSTALL OIL BYPASS FILTRATION SYSTEM

    Pareto Point Industries (PPI) announces TopDog V, a patent pending parallel flow oil bypass filtration system.  According to Adan Reinosa, P.E., PPI’s President, “The incredible benefits of oil bypass filtration, which result in better performing, cleaner running engines, has been known for many years.  But consumers and many fleet owners have had to consider the high product cost and installation complexity, so it never really caught on.  TopDog V is a game changer.  It provides vehicle owners with bypass filtration to 2 microns, absolute, and even more benefits, at a low price and with easy, fast installation.  In fact, using only a ratchet, the TopDog V ‘system/adapter’ (the red puck) can be installed in a few minutes.   TopDog V fits vehicles, equipment, or machinery requiring lubricating oil that use a spin-on oil filter; and we are developing a canister filter application.” (more…)
