ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure sets forth an adapter for installation on an automobile engine in lieu of a disposable cartridge filter. The adapter includes inlet and outlet fittings. The inlet and outlet fittings connect through a pair of flexible hoses to a raised filter housing installed at an elevated location in the engine compartment. The system also includes an oil reservoir which accumulates oil under pressure where the oil under pressure is stored until engine starting. This enhances lubrication within the engine at the upper portions thereof to avoid dry starting which occurs when the oil otherwise settles to the bottom of the engine. The reservoir in conjunction with the filter housing operates with selected valves and checkvalves so a hydrostatic head of oil pressure is achieved even when the engine is not operating.
