AMSOIL Dual-Gard By-Pass Oil Filtration System

The AMSOIL Dual-Gard By-Pass Oil Filtration System links two AMSOIL By-Pass Filter Elements together for engines with sump capacities over 20 quarts. Allows fast and simple servicing with spin-on elements.

Wear tests have shown particles of contamination in the sub-20-micron range are most harmful to rings and bearings. Most trucks are sold with a full-flow filter as their only oil cleansing unit. A study by the Milwaukee School of Engineering determined the filtering efficiency of four top selling full-flow filters compared with a BE-90 AMSOIL Spin-On By-Pass Filter.

Versatility:
Accommodates any two AMSOIL Spin-On By-Pass Filter Elements. Their unique internal flow director and follower spring system provide a nonchanneling filter media.

Convenience:
Elements spin on and off for fast, neat filter changes.

Protection:
The stacked disc type by-pass filter has been shown to reduce piston ring and rod/main bearing wear 75% to 91% (Society of Automotive Engineers paper 881826).

By-Pass Safety:
A metering orifice inside the mount controls oil flow so that it never draws more than 10% of the oil pump's capacity. At an engine speed of 45 mph, the AMSOIL DUAL-GARD By-Pass Filter cleans all of the oil in the system every 5-10 minutes (depending on engine RPM, sump size, and oil pump ratio).

The DUAL-GARD Mounting Kit:
The BMK-12 contains a mount, mounting hardward, a restriction fitting, and two 3/4" - 16 to 1/4" J.I.C. fittings. Complete installation instructions are included along with an additional parts list of plumbing hose and fittings available from seperately from AMSOIL. Spin-on filter elements, available in three sizes, should be purchased seperately in pairs based on sump size or available room in the engine compartment. The following is merely a guide, since the large the element used, the less frequently it will need to be changed.

  • For a crankcase sump of 15 to 18 quarts use 2 BE-90 filter elements.
  • For a crankcase sump of 15 to 30 quarts use 2 BE-100 filter elements.
  • For a crankcase sump of 15 to 42 quarts use 2 BE-110 filter elements

Your AMSOIL By-Pass Filters will last twice as long as your regular engine filter, so change them half as often.
