Product Description
The AMSOIL Heavy-Duty By-Pass Filtration System (BMK30)
provides superior filtration performance for heavy-duty on- and off-road
applications. The BMK30 is designed specifically for the Heavy-Duty Ea
By-Pass Filter (EaBP120),
bringing Ea synthetic nanofiber technology to the heavy-duty market.
By-Pass Basics
By-pass oil filtration features a secondary filter with
the purpose of eliminating nearly all contaminants in engine oil.
By-pass filters have high capacities and eliminate much smaller
particles than full-flow filters, including soot. By-pass filters reduce
engine wear and increase oil volume, but their high efficiencies mean
they also have higher restriction and must be used in conjunction with a
full-flow filter.
By-pass 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 by-pass filtration because the oil flows from
the by-pass filter back to the sump and by-passes the engine. This
continual process eventually makes all of the oil analytically clean,
reduces long-term wear and can dramatically extend drain intervals.
AMSOIL BMK30
The BMK30 comes with all necessary hose-end fittings and
mounting bolts, but the filter, hose and engine adapter must be
purchased separately. The hose and engine adapters are not included due
to the kit’s high variability of application, resulting in varied
mounting locations, hose lengths and engine adapter sizes. Prior to
installing a BMK30 kit, determine where the filter mount will be located
and how much hose will
be necessary to complete the installation. The installer must also
determine the size of the high- and low-pressure ports in order to
determine which engine adapters to purchase. Hose is available by the
foot from AMSOIL (BP250), and adapter fittings can be purchased from any
hydraulics or heavy-duty equipment outlet.
High-Quality, Durable Construction
The BMK30 is made from high-quality cast aluminum with a
steel filter spud that has been thoroughly tested in on-road and severe
offroad 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.
Compatible with Very Large Engines
BMK30 By-Pass Filtration Systems can be plumbed in series
or parallel configurations to provide maximum filtration protection for
large V12 and V16 engines. The filter mount features a 3⁄8" NPT
connector that connects the outlet and inlet of adjacent filter mounts.

by-pass systems on one application, contact AMSOIL Technical Services at

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 BMK30 kit.
Heavy-Duty
The AMSOIL BMK30 By-Pass Filtration System saves money by
enabling the installation of an AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filter. Its heavy-duty
design is ideal for equipment subjected to extreme conditions. The
ability to mount the BMK30 remotely allows the equipment operator to
more easily change filters, adding convenience and reducing the amount
of time necessary to perform routine maintenance.
• Improved Accessibility
• Durable Construction
• Superior Chemical Resistance
AMSOIL EaBP120
The
EaBP120 features the same synthetic
nanofiber media as the rest of the Ea By-Pass Filter family. The EaBP120
removes 98.7% of all contaminants two microns or larger (ISO 4548-12),
and provides superior soot-removal efficiency at less than one micron.
It comes complete with a marine powder-coated finish for long filter
life, even in extreme conditions.
Increased Oil Capacity
The EaBP120 increases the fluid system capacity by
approximately one gallon. The additional oil and extended filtration
life provide improved oil cooling and ensure that equipment constantly
runs on clean oil. Engine efficiency is increased, providing extended
engine life.
Extended Service Life
AMSOIL recommends changing the EaBP120 every other
full-flow filter change up to 90,000 miles. Extended oil drain intervals
should always be accompanied by an oil analysis program.
Heavy-Duty Filtration
The EaBP120 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.
• Dramatically Extended Drain Intervals
• Improved Oil Cooling
• Increased Filtration Capacity and Life
• Increased Fluid System Capacity
• Efficient Small Particle and Soot Removal
• Significantly Extended Engine Life
• Equipment Constantly Runs on Clean Oil
• Increased Engine Efficiency
• Remove Particles Less Than One Micron
• Convenient Spin-On Design
Applications
The AMSOIL BMK30 and EaBP120 provide maximum filtration
performance for virtually all heavy-duty diesel applications, including
Class 6, 7 and 8 heavy-duty trucks, off-road equipment, buses,
generators, marine engines, logging and agricultural equipment.
