Oil filters protect the engine by keeping the oil free from dirt and contamination during a prescribed service life.
Microscopic wear particles, dust and soot from combustion must be filtered efficiently out to prevent them embedding in the bearing surfaces, which can quickly lead to increased engine wear.
Blue Print says it supplies oil filters with premium quality filter media with the “efficiency and capacity to protect between extended service intervals”.
Other features of Blue Print filters include an anti-drain back valve to prevent oil siphoning back to the pump, ensuring rapid oil pressure on cold starts, a bypass valve to ensure oil delivery on start-up and in the event of a filter blockage.
Blue Print also say its filters enable the correct performance under cold-start conditions by allowing maximum lubrication and preventing metal-to-metal contact of bearings and cam gear.
The company added: “A clean, high quality air filter helps to maintain the oil filter.
“And, clean oil aids cooling by carrying heat away from pistons, cylinders and turbochargers.
“So it’s important to change a vehicle’s filters at regular service intervals to keep the vehicle functioning at its optimal level.”
With over 2,200 part numbers in its filtration portfolio for different makes and models, Blue Print offers one of the most extensive ranges available in the aftermarket.
