HUBB Introduces Breakthrough Oil Filter that Provides Superior Engine Protection; Saves Money

Feb. 10, 2016 - PRLog -- HUBB has introduced its new oil filter to the automotive aftermarket, representing one of the most significant advancements in the oil filtration category in more than 50 years. The HUBB filter’s patented design provides unprecedented engine protection, cost savings and environmental benefits. The HUBB filter is backed with an industry first 100,000-mile performance guarantee.

Currently available for any light truck or passenger vehicle that uses a spin-on filter, HUBB’s patented filter-in-a-filter design is made with surgical stainless steel weave rather than paper that is used by conventional filters. HUBB’s unique design and functionality improves oil flow by five times, while capturing more contaminants from combustion so engine oil stays cleaner, longer. HUBB’s reusable and cleanable filter also helps the environment by eliminating the need to dispose of used filters in landfills.

HUBB represents more than five years of exhaustive research and development by Christopher Hubbard, the company’s founder and chief scientist. Before founding HUBB, Hubbard served with the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) working in the pathophysiology division specializing in toxins while performing lung and liver perfusions.

“As a motorsports enthusiast and tinkerer, I was frustrated with the poor performance of conventional oil filters and their negative environmental impact,” explained Hubbard. “This frustration, in combination with the experience I gained at USAMRIID and the human lung, provided the motivation and inspiration I needed to create the HUBB filter.”

To back its claims of superior filtration, engine health protection, extended oil change intervals, and reduced carbon emissions, HUBB has undergone independent third party testing by Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc. (ATDS) and Southwest Research Institute (SRI) as well as extensive field testing with customers.

“The weakest link in the oil management system is the filter because its design and functionality has changed little since it was first invented,” said Scott Killips, CEO. “Conventional filters rely on a paper media that can get clogged and stop working. HUBB is based upon a patented filter-in-a-filter design using surgical stainless steel weave. The HUBB oil filter provides superior engine protection and helps consumers save money by significantly extending the amount of time between oil changes.”

The design of the HUBB filter utilizes reusable inner parts that are easy to clean. HUBB has received several product design awards including the GOOD DESIGN® award from the prestigious Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd. and a first place in the 2015 Spark Product Design Awards.
