Engine Oil Filter Components and Architecture

Engineering Reference · Lube/Oil Protection Systems

Technology: SYNTRAX™

Engineering Relationships

  • Oil-filter architecture combines the filtration element with structural, sealing and flow-control components whose functions depend on the application.
  • Spin-on and cartridge designs package these functions differently even when both perform engine-lubricant filtration.
