Christopher Hubbard, our Founder, is a motorsports enthusiastic and engine tinkerer and was frustrated with the poor performance of conventional oil filters as well as their negative environmental impact. Christopher observed that oil had changed significantly over the past 50 years but oil filters had not changed at all. It was clear to Christopher that the oil filter was the weak link in the oil management system of the engine. This frustration, in combination with the experience Christopher gained while working with classified agents, toxins and diseases while performing lung and liver perfusions at USAMRIID provided the motivation and inspiration to create the HUBB filter.
