 Spin-On
By-Pass Oil Filter
Engine wear is caused by
dirt particles larger than 5 microns. The AMSOIL By-Pass
Oil Filter removes particles as small as 1/10 of a
micron, virtually eliminating engine wear. AMSOIL
By-Pass Oil Filters filter all the oil in a six-quart
system in about five minutes at an average engine
speed equivalent to 45 mph.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filter
provides the best possible filtration protection against
wear, oil degradation, rust and corrosion. Working
in conjunction with the engine’s full-flow oil filter,
the AMSOIL By-Pass Filter operates by filtering oil
on a "partial-flow" basis. It draws approximately
ten percent of the oil at any one time and traps the
extremely small, wear-causing contaminants and water
that full-flow filters can’t remove. The AMSOIL By-Pass
Filter typically filters all the oil in the system
several times an hour, so the engine continuously
receives analytically clean oil.
Reduces Wear
Approximately 60 percent
of all engine wear is caused by dirt particles in
the 5 to 20 micron range. These particles can get
inside the precision clearances between engine components
and cause severe damage. While full-flow oil filters
generally stop contaminants no smaller than 25 to
40 microns, the AMSOIL By-Pass Filter effectively
stops particles smaller than one micron in size, substantially
reducing engine wear.
 Prevents
Oil Degradation, Rust and Corrosion
Water enters motor oil as
a combustion by-product or as a condensate. Water
contamination of the motor oil can cause extreme engine
damage. Water causes metal surface rust and corrosion,
which increases friction and wear and deteriorates
the close-fitting tolerances between engine components.
In addition, water reacts with other oil contaminants
to form corrosive acids, which also damage metal components.
The AMSOIL By-Pass Filter removes water, reducing
the risk of oil degradation, engine rust and corrosion.
Extends Oil
Drain Intervals
Because the AMSOIL By-Pass
Oil Filter removes water and particles smaller than
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 By-Pass
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
products and conventional oil drain intervals. That
saves motorists time and money and helps protect the
environment by creating substantially less used oil.
