Oil Filter System

Although a truck is composed of many parts that require regular maintenance, oil is the lifeblood of that machine, and making sure the truck is running on pure oil is important to its longevity and performance. While full-flow filter systems, located on the main line of oil circulation, is one way of keeping your oil pure and your engine running smoothly, the AMSOIL by-pass oil filtration system boosts the benefits already received by the full-flow system.

According to AMSOIL, what makes the by-pass oil filtration system so innovative is its unique design, which is formulated to increase speed while similarly increasing the quantity and quality of oil filtered. Although the full-filtration system is needed to circulate the oil continuously, the by-pass system can filter six quarts of oil, all of the oil in some systems, in five minutes with an average engine speed of around 45 miles per hour. Designed to “remove contaminants without obstructing flow” this system is quick, quality, and easy to use.

By using innovative technological design to improve upon the original oil filtration concept, AMSOIL provides a product that is unique and promising in every part of its construction. A blend of compressed virgin wood and cotton fibers, pressed into discs, is responsible for filtering the oil, materials different than most filters use. Furthermore, the all-steel, cotton-swathed center tube is designed for optimum oil flow, and a hydraulic follower plate and pressure system prevent channeling. Because of this unique design, AMSOIL maintains that dirt as small as one-tenth of a micron and larger will be trapped by the system.

But just because AMSOIL has created an innovative product that revolutionizes the way oil is filtered and circulated in the average truck does not mean it has stopped innovating. On the contrary, several improvements to the by-pass oil filtration system have been recently put into place. Adopting the newest parts, technologies, and research, AMSOIL has adapted the filter to compete in today’s demanding world of long-haul transportation. According to the company, every part of the filtration system is new besides the filter element, from the mount to the hose. After extensive computer technology research, customer comments, and testing in both heavy duty and passenger vehicles, these changes have been adopted.

The changes include such improvements as an anodized mount crafted from aluminum that is both stronger and quieter at the same time, repels corrosion and leaks, and is more durable than the previous mount. Attaching points have been reformed to carry and distribute greater weight, and the hose and hose fittings have been changed to offer better performance such as standing up against damage and reduce stress.

From the original filtration system that paired quality and quantity with speed to the system’s new innovations that exceed performance standards in durability and damage protection, the AMSOIL by-pass filtration system is an excellent choice for any trucker who wants to keep his or her engine running as smoothly as possible.
