ABSTRACT:
An adapter for connecting a bypass oil filter to an internal combustion engine having a full-flow lubricating system is mounted in place of the conventional full-flow oil filter. The adapter includes a body portion which defines three interconnected passages. A first passage provides for the flow of dirty oil from the adapter to the bypass filter, while a second passage provides for the return of the filtered oil to the engine. A third passage extends between the first and second passages and allows most of the dirty oil to flow directly back to the engine. By providing a return tube with an outlet downstream of the junction of the second and third tubes, the bypass filter experiences a maximum pressure drop increasing the amount of oil flowing therethrough.
