AMSOIL Remote Bypass Oil Filter

How Does the AMSOIL Remote Bypass Oil Filter System Work?

Even the best full-flow oil filter can’t do it all. Any full-flow oil filter must allow oil to pass through it quickly to keep the engine from starving for oil. To keep from creating a circulation bottleneck, a relief valve opens when the engine’s demand for lubrication can’t be ignored. As a result, only the coarser particles get filtered out.

The average full-flow oil filter will effectively remove particles in the 25 to 40 micron range, but the smallest grit that passes through – road dust, manufacturing scarf, and engine-metal flake in the 5- to 20-micron range – accounts for up to 60% of all engine wear. These particles can get inside the precision clearances between bearings, rings and other engine components and cause severe damage.

The AMSOIL Remote Bypass Oil Filter effectively stops particles down to one micron in size, substantially reducing engine wear. It is placed in a remote location, outside the main line of oil circulation, using an AMSOIL Remote Bypass Oil Filter System Kit, and taps into the line to bleed off and clean only a portion of the oil at a time. The AMSOIL Bypass Filter typically filters all the oil in the system several times an hour, so the engine continuously receives analytically clean oil.

High-Efficiency Oil Filter

AMSOIL Bypass Oil Filters have an efficiency of 98.7 percent at two microns. At normal operating RPMs, the AMSOIL Bypass Filter will filter all of the oil in a typical five-quart sump in less than 10 minutes.

Oil Soot and Its Correlation to Engine Wear

As oil soot levels increase, engine wear also increases. AMSOIL has designed a high-efficiency bypass oil filter element that is also a soot removal device. AMSOIL Bypass Oil Filters use a synthetic/cellulose sandwiched media. The inner layer of the element is composed of a highly efficient cellulose media covered with a full synthetic media outer layer. According to ISO 23556 testing, these oil filters remove 39 percent of soot contaminants less than one micron. Soot removal efficiency increases approximately 10 to 14 percent when the AMSOIL Bypass Filter is used in conjunction with a standard full-flow oil filter.

Significantly Longer Oil Change Intervals

Because the AMSOIL Bypass Oil Filter so effectively removes particles down to one micron, it significantly increases the time oil can safely be left in the engine. In fact, engines using AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil and an AMSOIL Bypass Remote Oil Filter routinely show much lower rates of engine wear, even when the oil is used for significantly longer drain intervals, than engines using conventional oils and conventional oil change intervals. Many users, with proper oil analysis, report intervals well past 100,000 miles.

Increased Oil Capacity Improves Engine Efficiency

The AMSOIL Bypass Oil Filter allows more oil to be added to the system, which means more oil additives and more cooling capacity. This puts less strain on the oil, which dramatically extends the oil’s useful service life, and equipment constantly runs on clean oil. Engine efficiency is increased, providing extended engine life.

Superior Construction

The superior construction of AMSOIL Bypass Oil Filters provides better sealing and increased longevity along with superior corrosion resistance. AMSOIL Bypass Filters have a marine powder coated exterior; and their zinc-dichromate base plates increase rust protection. AMSOIL Bypass Filters have a nitrile HNBR gasket and an orange silicone anti-drain valve. The two-stage pleated and layered cellulose/full synthetic media has an efficiency rating of 98.7 percent at two microns.
