Bypass Oil Filter Kit and Installation /Parts Manual
Each bypass oil filter kit is a “made to fit” secondary filter system for small engines up to large diesel semi-trucks and large industrial diesel engines.
Extend engine oil life and maintain cleanliness with a bypass oil filter kit.
The bypass oil filter kit uses the AMSOIL EaBP filter element for the best filtration protection against engine wear and oil degradation. Cleaning oil to the lowest ISO standards, the oil filter system is installed in conjunction with the engine’s full-flow oil filter. The system operates on a “partial-flow” basis and draws approximately 10 percent of the oil pump capacity at any time. The filter element (EaBP) traps soot and microscopic contaminants down to 2 microns with 98.7% efficiency. Oil is filtered several times an hour, sending “analytically clean” continuous oil back to the engine.
All engines operate in much the same fashion. The oil pump pulls engine oil from the sump to the top of the engine, lubricating each moving part via small oil galleries. High-quality, clean motor oil is key to preventing wear, reducing friction resistance, preventing sludge buildup, and keeping temperatures within normal operating range. But a standard oil filter media often can’t perform at a standard that protects your engine fully. However, a bypass kit offers filtration that can’t be beat.
Many truck and equipment manufacturers now install a bypass filter from the factory. For those that don’t, an AMSOIL Bypass Kit can be installed that fits your vehicle and its lubrication requirements. Whether you’re interested in extending the intervals between oil changes or simply discovering how to clean engine oil the best for dependable machinery, a bypass filter offers exceptional filtration with benefits that include:
- Improved oil flow
- Easier access to oil filter replacements
- Oil that protects better against wear
- Filtration down to 2 microns
- Reduced oil consumption since clean oil seals piston rings better.
We offer not just bypass filter kits, but also replacement parts and premium synthetic oil supplies for your workshop.

Every installation has the flexibility to install the filter mount wherever it makes the most sense.
Tips to install your engine oil bypass filter kit
Selecting a suitable bypass oil filter kit is the first step. AMSOIL offers specialized kits for Ford 6.0L, 6.4L, and Ford 6.7 Powerstroke applications, the 6.7 Cummins engine, as well as GM 6.6L Duramax diesel engines. Most engines can have a single or a dual remote bypass filter system. A universal oil filter bypass kit is available for all other applications, including gas-powered engines.
Install the filter mount in a location protected from road debris and can be accessed easily for filter changes. Route hoses away from sharp or hot components and free from sharp bends.
Fill the bypass filter with oil before starting the engine after installation, and watch the oil pressure when the engine is started. Check for loose fittings and leaking connections
Should you desire to take samples for oil analysis, an optional petcock kit makes drawing oil samples easier than you could dream.
AMSOIL’s bypass oil filter kits incorporate the exclusive EaO oil filter technology, a unique offering from AMSOIL. These budget-friendly filter replacements are universally compatible with all motor oil types, allowing you to use the AMSOIL bypass oil filter kit with a variety of motor oil brands.

See how to install the AMSOIL Bypass Filter System. Mark Nyholm demonstrates two different installations.
Ford 6.7L Power Stroke
RAM with a 6.7L Cummins engine
Single Bypass System
(up to 6.0 gallon oil sump with EaBP110 element)
Single Bypass kits can use the adapter block for easy access to high pressure oil supply and low pressure return. See “Bypass Kit Manuals and Parts List” for options.
Optional Bypass Filter Sizes
- BP90 (height 7.5 in.)
- BP100 (height 6.0 in.)
- BP110 (height 10.5 in.)
Always use the largest filter elements when possible for maximum filtration capacity. “Optional” smaller elements can be used to accommodate confined space installation.
Dual Bypass System
(up to 6.0 gallon oil sump with EaBP110 element)
Dual Bypass “image” shown with cutaway view of the engine’s full-flow filter. The dual mount kit will relocate the engine’s full flow filter for easy filter replacement access .
Optional “Full-Flow” Filter Sizes
EaO Full-flow filters will fit any “Dual Mount System” (excluding Heavy Duty BMK22).
Always Select the largest filter when possible. Optional smaller filters sizes can be used when space is limited for installation and filter change service.
- EaO26 (height 6.77 in.)
- EaO15 (height 5.37 in.)
- EaO42 (height 3.75 in.)
Optional “Bypass” Filter Sizes
- BP90 (height 7.5 in.)
- BP100 (height 6.0 in.)
- BP110 (height 10.5 in.)
When selecting “Dual Bypass” kits for specific engines/ vehicle type, AMSOIL Bypass kits include an adapter block for high pressure oil supply and low pressure return. Adapter blocks can be purchased separately.
Choose the AMSOIL Engine Bypass Oil Filter BP* element to match your engine oil sum capacity.
