Amsoil Oil Bypass Filtration Systems
The majority of engine wear comes from particles from 5µ to 25µ in size. The problem that arises is that the average full flow filter is only efficient for particles 20µ in size and larger. This means that all those particles under 20µ can pass though the filter and cause wear to your engine. This is where an AMSOIL BYPASS SYSTEM comes into play. Installing a Bypass System on your vehicle will efficiently filter particles down to 2µ in size, effectively reducing the wear on your engine.To you, vehicles aren’t just a way to get from point A to point B. They’re part of who you are. They define you. We get it. We are not just engineers, chemists and manufacturers – we’re also wrenchers and drivers who are passionate about vehicle performance and protection.

Bypass oil filtration features a secondary filter with the purpose of eliminating nearly all contaminants from motor oil. Bypass filters have high capacities and eliminate much smaller particles than full-flow filters, including soot. Bypass filters reduce engine wear and increase oil volume, but their high efficiencies mean they also have higher restriction and must be used in conjunction with a full-flow filter.
Bypass filters operate by filtering oil on a "partial-flow" basis. They draw approximately 10 percent of the oil pump's capacity at any one time and trap the extremely small, wear-causing contaminants that full-flow filters can't remove. Bypass filters have a high pressure differential, causing the oil to flow through them very slowly and allowing for the removal of smaller contaminants. It is called bypass filtration because the oil flows from the bypass filter back to the sump, bypassing the engine. This continual process eventually makes all the oil analytically clean, reduces long-term wear and can dramatically extend oil drain intervals.
