What is bypass filtration, what does it do?
Bypass filtration is a simple concept. In the quest to filter oil or other fluids, you can only filter the fluid so much before flow is compromised. In an engine oil filter, the oil is being forced through a media. The smaller the openings in this media, the better it filters, but the worse it flows. Normal spin on replacement filters are a compromise. You can only filter the oil with them so well before oil flow is restricted to the point where the motor is starved for oil.
The bypass filter set up allow us to overcome these restrictions. By using an adaptor that spins on to the normal oil filter location and running hoses from this adaptor to a separate unit that has mounts for 2 oil filters we can use 1 filter that filters all of the oil that passes through it but not as well as the bypass filter, and the bypass filter that filters only a small amount of the oil at a time but filters the oil very well. AMSOIL EaBP Filters have an efficiency of 98.7 percent at two microns. At normal operating RPMs the EaBP Filter will filter all of the oil in a typical five quart sump in less than 10 minutes.
The Ea By-Pass Oil Filter (EaBP) provides the best possible filtration protection against wear and oil degradation. Working in conjunction with the engine’s full-flow oil filter, the AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filter operates by filtering oil on a “partial-flow” basis. It draws approximately 10 percent of the oil pump’s capacity at any one time and traps the extremely small, wear-causing contaminants that full-flow filters can’t remove. The AMSOIL Ea Bypass Filter typically filters all the oil in the system several times an hour, so the engine continuously receives analytically clean oil.

By-Pass Filtration Benefits
• Dramatically Extended Drain Intervals
• Improved Oil Cooling
• Increased Filtration Capacity and Life
• Increased Fluid System Capacity
• Efficient Small Particle and Soot Removal
• Significantly Extended Engine Life
• Equipment Constantly Runs on Clean Oil
• Increased Engine Efficiency
• Remove Particles Less Than One Micro
Increased Oil Capacity
The increased fluid system capacity and filtration life provides improved oil cooling and ensures that equipment constantly runs on clean oil. Engine efficiency is increased, providing extended engine life.
Soot Removal
AMSOIL has designed a high-efficiency by-pass filter element that is also a soot removal device. AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filters use a synthetic/cellulose sandwiched media. The inner layer of the element is composed of a highly efficient cellulose media covered with a full synthetic media outer layer. These filters remove 39 percent of soot contaminants less than one micron. Soot removal efficiency increases approximately 10 to 14 percent when the EaBP Filter is used in conjunction with a standard full-flow filter.

The benefits of these systems can be even more important when used on a turbocharged / supercharged car providing even cleaner oil to your turbo/supercharger bearings increasing the lifespan of the equipment.
