Types of oil Filters

2) As oil passes through the rotating bowl, centrifugal force separates oil and solid contaminants. 3) Contaminants are deposited as a solid cake on the surface the cleanable bowl. 4) Clean oil exits through opposing, twin nozzles that power the centrifuge in excess of 6,000 rpm.

is removed on first pass through the filter. The patented magnetic circuit on the 4,000 gauss version design ensures that the filter can never block even in high contamination applications. High intensity magnetic filter. Magnetic core options. High intensity magnetic cores ensure particle filtration down to sub-micron size.

Secondary oil filters: In addition to the primary oil filters, some manufacturers also install secondary oil filters. These oil filters work on a small portion or about 1% to 10% of the motor oil and clean it before routing it back to the engine.

Sediment filter Sediment is any particulate matter that can be transported by fluid flow and which eventually is deposited as a layer of solid particles on the bed or bottom of a body of water or other liquid.
