Heavy-Duty BMK-30 Remote Filtration System and Ea® Bypass Filter combine to provide outstanding oil filtration efficiency

Bypass Basics

Bypass oil filtration introduces a secondary filter with the purpose of eliminating nearly all contaminants from engine oil. Bypass filters have high capacities and eliminate much smaller particles than full-flow filters, including soot. Bypass filters reduce engine wear through high filtering efficiency, which means they have higher restriction and must be used in conjunction with a full-flow filter.

Bypass filters operate by filtering oil on a “partial-flow” basis. They draw approximately 10 percent of the oil pump’s capacity at any one time and trap the extremely small, wear-causing contaminants that full-flow filters can’t remove. Bypass filters have a high pressure differential, causing the oil to flow through them very slowly and allowing for the removal of smaller contaminants. It is called bypass filtration because the oil flows from the bypass filter back to the sump and bypasses the engine. This continual process eventually cleans all the oil in the system, reduces long-term wear and can dramatically extend the life of the engine.

AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Bypass System

The AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Bypass System includes the mount, mounting hardware, 15 feet of hose, hose fittings, installation instructions and Bypass Filter (EaBP120). Available separately, the oil sample valve (BK30) eases the process of collecting oil samples. The system provides most of the necessary fittings, except the fitting required to pull pressurized oil from the engine and the return fitting to return oil to the sump. Other parts and fittings can be purchased from any hydraulics or heavy-duty equipment outlet.

High-Quality, Durable Construction

The Heavy-Duty Bypass Filtration System is constructed of high-quality cast aluminum with a steel filter spud that has been thoroughly tested in on-road and severe off-road service. The mount is finished with a thick layer of powder-coated paint to provide maximum resistance to the degrading effects of road salt, debris and engine-compartment chemicals.

General Installation Guidelines

Determine the location of a pressurized oil port on the engine. Pressure ports are usually found on the main oil galley or in close proximity to the full-flow filter head assembly. The oil flow from this source should be plumbed into the inlet side of the filter mount. The outlet will be directed to a low-pressure point on the engine, typically a port located at or near the oil pan. Detailed instructions are included with the Heavy-Duty Bypass Filtration System.

AMSOIL Ea® Heavy-Duty Bypass Filter

The AMSOIL Ea Heavy-Duty Bypass Filter (EaBP120) features a proprietary media that removes 98.7% of all contaminants two microns or larger (ISO 4548-12), and provides superior soot-removal efficiency. It comes complete with a marine powder-coated finish for long filter life, even in extreme conditions.

Increased Oil Capacity

The Ea Heavy-Duty Bypass Filter increases the fluid system capacity by approximately one gallon, depending on length of hose and distance the filter is mounted from the engine. The additional oil and extended filtration life provide improved oil cooling and ensure equipment constantly runs on highly filtered oil. Engine efficiency is increased, providing extended engine life.

Extended Service Life

The Ea Heavy-Duty Bypass Filter offers long service life. Do not exceed the limits listed in the chart below. Extended oil drain intervals should always be accompanied by an oil analysis program.

Heavy-Duty Filtration

The Ea Heavy-Duty Bypass Filter was designed for heavy-duty applications. Its robust construction and superior filtration performance provide maximum protection over extended drain intervals, reducing downtime, increasing equipment life and saving money.

Install Tip

Attach the unit to a steel panel then just hook on the panel to the frame:
Saw a Detroit owner simply cut a steel panel (Aluminium or wood would work too)  about as long as the whole unit and slightly wider – he then drilled four oval slots at the top and bottom to easily mount to any frame using J-Bolts. This makes it a fast attachment and you can easily adjust to your needs without drilling any permanent holes.

Amsoil heavy duty oil bypass filter kit BMK-30 installed

The AMSOIL Heavy-Duty By-Pass System (BMK30) was installed on this 2011 Freightliner Classic. It features a custom-built 2003 Series 60 Detroit Diesel 12.7L engine that makes 500 hp. It is a Glider Kit, which is essentially a new truck with a remanufactured engine, transmission and rear ends. A 1/4-inch bracket was bolted to the frame using existing holes to avoid drilling new holes. We located the bracket as close to the engine as possible to minimize the amount of hose required.

The oil supply line taps into the oil filter housing, which has several oil galley plugs for that purpose. The oil return line attaches to a galley plug in the oil pan, where most engine manufacturers include galley plugs. The entire installation took about 90 minutes and used aftermarket hoses and fittings throughout. The truck uses 12 gallons of AMSOIL Premium Protection 20W-50 Synthetic Motor Oil (it is not equipped with EGR or a DPF). AME 10W40 is suggested) We also installed a Sample Valve Kit (BK30) for drawing oil samples for oil analysis.

Normal Service Life b:When used in conjunction with AMSOIL motor oil and an EaO or Donaldson Endurance filter, EaBP Filters should be changed every other full flow filter change up to 60,000 miles. When used with other brands of motor oil or full flow filters, the EaBP filter should be changed every other full flow filter change. AMSOIL recommends using oil analysis when extending oil drain intervals.

a. Filters can be used on sumps of larger capacity but then require more frequent replacement. Full details on service life included with filter installation instructions.
