How do AMSOIL Bypass Filters work?
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.
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.
Dual Remote Filter
System
The AMSOIL Dual Remote Oil
Filtration System converts an engine’s full-flow oil filter system into a
full-flow/by-pass oil filtration system by attaching an AMSOIL Full-Flow Oil Filter and
AMSOIL Spin-On By-Pass Oil Filter onto a remote mount. The Dual Remote System provides
superior filtration efficiency, increased oil capacity and improved oil filtration
accessibility.
1969 Chevrolet Truck Goes
535,372 Miles Using AMSOIL
In 1983, I wrote a testimonial on my 1969 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup with a 396 engine. At that
time, it had 400,000 miles plus the heads and pan had never been removed. I had adjusted
the tappets at about 250,000 miles and soon after 400,000 I adjusted the tappets again.
This pickup was used as our main vehicle between our two farms which are 76 miles apart.
During the summer of 1988 our hired man lost control and rolled it two or three times. It
was totally destroyed except for the engine, transmission and differential. At the time it
was wrecked it was using a quart of oil between 7,000 and 8,000 miles.
On August 23, 1989, I decided to replace a diesel engine in our 1983 3/4 ton Chevy pickup
with a gas engine. After visiting Kevin Arnet, owner of A & A Auto Center in Liberal,
Arkansas, we decided to use the 396 engine from the wrecked pickup as this engine is a
very strong and hot engine and should do the job well.
This engine has 535,372 total miles on it with the last 447,372 with AMSOIL 10W-40. The
AMSOIL was changed once a year early in the spring. Since this engine had this many miles
on it, we decided it should be opened up and repaired and replace what was needed. If we
had known the condition of the inside working parts, we probably would have used it as it
was. Since we had it opened, we did go ahead and replace some parts and renew the engine.
Without a doubt, the 100 percent AMSOIL Lifetime Air Filter and the By-Pass Oil Filter get
all the credit. There were 18 oil changes during this time.
I'm looking for another 300,000 to 400,000 miles out of this engine.
Thanks to Al Amatuzio and his great idea about creating synthetic oil and for reciprocal
engines back in 1963 and selling his first quart in 1967.
I'll always be grateful for having the opportunity of using and selling this phenomenal
product.

FROM THE MECHANIC:
When we took this 396 Chevrolet engine apart, it was in the best condition of any engine I
have ever seen. It looked like it had about 80,000 miles instead of over 500,000.
The bearings were not even worn to the brass and the rings were not worn out and it was
clean inside, no sludge or carbon at all...It had .0007 - .0009 taper, which is less than
engines with 70,000 to 80,000 miles usually have.
All in all I was impressed with the wear and cleanliness of this engine and the mileage it
had on it.

If AMSOIL products were this good in
the 70's and 80's, imagine how much better AMSOIL's new Series 2000 oils are. You just
can't beat AMSOIL when it comes to protection and performance.

AMSOIL
bypass oil filtration systems are wonderful. Combined with AMSOIL synthetic oil, there is
simply no better protection available for your vehicle. Of course, the convenience of
eliminating messy and time consuming oil changes is also a big benefit.
However,
there are some people for whom the bypass system probably is not going to be the best
choice. For instance, if you only intend on keeping your vehicle for a few years, the
bypass system isn't going to do you any good. Any new vehicle will perform well for 3 to 5
years unless it is very poorly maintained.
Moreover,
if you still plan on changing your oil every 3 to 10,000 miles, a bypass system will be a
very costly up-front expenditure that you won't be getting the full benefit from. You'll
be getting better engine protection, but you won't be saving any time and/or money on oil
changes. So, unless you plan on owning your vehicle over 3 to 5 years (which is the point
at which you begin to reap the benefits of increased engine protection), a bypass might
not be a good choice for you.
Although
you can pretty much mount a bypass system wherever you want, typical locations are: on the
firewall, between the radiator and the grill, IN the wheel well (as long as there is
plenty of wheel clearance), under the vehicle on the frame, ...). If none of these
locations work for you, you still have other options. On a gas powered engine, you can
mount the system up to 10 feet from the original filter location. So, technically, you
could put it in your trunk if you want. It simply takes some extra work. You'll have to
decide if you believe it is worth it.
The
rest of you (that includes high mileage drivers, those who would like to extend oil
drains, those who intend on keeping their vehicle till it dies and those who simply want
the best protection no matter what) will be well served by the addition of a bypass
system. I highly recommend it.
The
following is a good maintenance schedule to follow using the bypass system and AMSOIL
synthetic oil. Once the unit and the oil has been installed on a gas engine, change the
full flow filter every 12,500 miles or six months and top off with oil. Then, at 1 year or
25,000 miles, change the full flow filter again, change the bypass filter for the first
time, do an oil analysis and then top off the system with oil.
The
oil will likely come back good for at least 60,000 to 75,000 miles. Most people see
100,000 miles or more on the same oil, especially if their using an AMSOIL air filter as
well.
