The AMSOIL BMK22 Dual-Gard Bypass System adds high-capacity bypass filtration to engines and equipment while retaining the existing full-flow oil filter in its original location. Unlike a single-filter bypass system, Dual-Gard uses two AMSOIL Ea Bypass Oil Filters to provide increased filtration capacity for larger engines, higher oil capacities and demanding applications.
Dual-Filter Bypass Filtration
The BMK22 uses two bypass filters operating alongside the engine's conventional full-flow oil filter. Only a portion of the engine's oil is directed through the bypass system at any one time, allowing extremely efficient filtration without restricting the engine's primary lubrication circuit.
AMSOIL Ea Bypass Oil Filters remove extremely fine contaminants that conventional full-flow filters cannot efficiently capture, including fine soot contamination in diesel engine oil.
Designed for Larger Oil Capacities
Using two bypass filter elements substantially increases filtration capacity and adds additional oil volume to the lubrication system. This makes the BMK22 particularly suited to large trucks, construction equipment, agricultural machinery and industrial applications where greater filtration capacity is required.
Retains the Existing Full-Flow Filter
The BMK22 adds bypass filtration without relocating the engine's existing full-flow oil filter. The Dual-Gard assembly provides a remote mounting location for two bypass filters while the engine's conventional full-flow filter continues to provide primary filtration in its original position.
Universal Installation
The BMK22 connects to the engine through a pressurised oil port and includes the remote mount, mounting hardware, hose and hose fittings. Installation requirements vary between engines and equipment, so a suitable pressurised oil supply and oil return arrangement must be identified for the application.
Features
- Dual-filter bypass system provides increased filtration capacity for larger engines and oil sumps.
- Retains the engine's existing full-flow oil filter in its original location.
- Provides high-efficiency removal of extremely fine contaminants, including soot.
- Increases total filtration capacity and engine oil capacity.
- Helps maintain cleaner engine oil during extended operation.
- Universal design suits a wide range of suitable heavy-duty and industrial applications.
- Includes remote mount, mounting hardware, hose and hose fittings.
Choosing Bypass Filters
The BMK22 uses two matching AMSOIL Ea Bypass Oil Filters. Filter size can be selected according to engine oil capacity, required filtration capacity and available mounting space.
| Filter Configuration | Additional Oil Capacity | Recommended Crankcase Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 2 x EABP90 | Approximately 1.9 L | 14.2-28.4 L |
| 2 x EABP100 | Approximately 2.8 L | 14.2-34.1 L |
| 2 x EABP110 | Approximately 3.8 L | 14.2-45.4 L |
Additional oil capacities are estimates. Filters may be used on larger-capacity sumps but may require more frequent replacement. Always verify the correct engine oil level using the engine oil dipstick.
BMK21 or BMK22?
Choose the BMK21 when a single bypass filter provides sufficient filtration capacity and a more compact installation is preferred.
Choose the BMK22 Dual-Gard for larger oil capacities and applications where the increased capacity of two bypass filters is beneficial.
Installation Considerations
The BMK22 is a universal system and installation requirements vary between applications. The Dual-Gard assembly should be mounted to a strong structure and positioned away from exhaust heat, moving components and areas where the filters or hoses could be damaged.
