What is Amsoil bypass filter?
An AMSOIL Bypass System introduces a secondary bypass filter that is used in conjunction with the vehicle’s current full-flow filter to better protect your engine. AMSOIL Ea Bypass Filters can efficiently remove particles down to 2 microns in size. To learn more about bypass systems click here.
Do bypass oil filters really work?
Having a bypass filtration system installed increases the overall sump size of the engine, helping dilute the concentration of metals in the oil. Oil does not wear out. Its usefulness is limited only by contamination. Bypass filtration removes or dilutes many of those contaminants.
When should I change my Amsoil bypass filter?
Normal Service Life:When used in conjunction with AMSOIL motor oil and an EaO or Donaldson Endurance filter, the EaBP should be changed every other full flow filter change up to 60,000 miles.
What is the purpose of the oil filter bypass?
The bypass valve – otherwise known as a pressure relief valve – is an integral part of the oil filter. The valve is designed to open when the oil filter becomes clogged or when the oil is too thick. This allows the oil to bypass the filter through a center tube.
What is a full-flow lubrication system?
Full-flow. A full-flow system will have a pump which sends pressurised oil through a filter to the engine bearings, after which the oil returns by gravity to the sump. In the case of a dry sump engine, the oil that reaches the sump is evacuated by a second pump to a remote oil tank.
What is a water filter bypass?
A Water Filter Bypass is designed for homes that have a whole-house water filtration system. This blank cartridge will install in the place of a water filter, bypassing the need for standard water filter replacements.
What will cause reduced oil pressure in an engine?
When oil viscosity is too low or high, it may be detected as a loss of pressure in the oil supply to the engine. Low viscosity can be the result of a variety of factors, such as fuel dilution, incorrect lubricant viscosity selection, or excessive temperatures due to overloading or a cooling system failure.
What would happen to the oil if the full-flow filter became blocked?
Oil will continue to flow at a reduced rate through the system. B. Oil flow to the engine will stop.
How often do you change bypass oil filter?
**Better engine protection. With a bypass system, you would go 25,000 miles, change the bypass filters and take an oil sample; the results would dictate if you needed to change your oil. Using that system, most newer engines are able to go 150,000 to 200,000 miles without an oil change.
How important is oil filter bypass pressure?
The Bypass-Relief-Valve is designed with a preset opening pressure to allow free flow of oil when the filter gets clogged and the lubricant is unable to flow through the filter’s media. Without a bypass valve or if the valve doesn’t open properly, pressure could build up causing the filter to burst and the oil to leak.
What could cause the bypass valve in a full flow lubrication system to open?
The valve is designed to open when the oil filter becomes clogged or when the oil is too thick. This allows the oil to bypass the filter through a center tube. The oil then goes straight to the engine to prevent starvation and damage.
