Oil Filter Performance Balance

Engineering Reference · Lube/Oil Protection Systems

Technology: SYNTRAX™

Engineering Relationships

  • Oil-filter protection depends on balancing particle capture efficiency, contaminant-holding capacity and lubricant flow rather than optimizing a single parameter.
  • A micron value does not define filtration performance unless it is paired with capture efficiency at that particle size.
