Now, engine owners have the opportunity to combine the Racor LFS with a highly efficient, environmnetally safe Bypass Oil Filtration System.
The Racor Bypass Oil Series removes dirt, varnish, ash, tar, soot and other contaminants that full-flow filters cannot remove from your engine's oil. The system also removes condensed water, which forms damaging acids if it remains in the oil.
The Bypass Oil Series filter element is 1 micron filter element. With surface filters, particles tend to stack up on a single plane, thereby "loading" the filter and cutting off flow. The Bypass Oil Series filter element is a "depth" filter trapping different size particles at varying depths within the element, so loading is virtually eliminated.
Extended oil changes are possible with a Racor Bypass Oil LFS and regular oil analysis. Analysis provides important information about the condition of the oil and when it needs to be changed. It eliminates relying on "recommended change intervals" which are based on standard, full-flow filters.
By extracting samples of engine oil at predetermined intervals, a record can be established based on the actual condition of the engine and the oil.
