-10an Scavenge Filter

The Peterson Fluid -10AN Scavenge Filter is a precision-engineered oil filtration component designed for high-performance engine systems that require dedicated scavenging circuits. This inline filter protects critical engine components by removing particulates and contaminants from returning oil before it re-enters the crankcase. Scavenge filtration is essential in racing, turbocharged, supercharged, and high-output applications where conventional filtration alone cannot handle the volume and complexity of recirculated oil flows.

Constructed from lightweight black anodized aluminum, the -10AN Scavenge Filter features straight 10 AN male inlet and outlet connections for direct integration into scavenge lines without adapters or flow restrictions. The compact design—measuring 6.8 inches in length with a 2.7 x 1.4 inch body profile—allows flexible mounting in tight engine bay configurations while maintaining structural integrity under pressure cycling. Anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion and thermal stress, ensuring reliability across sustained high-RPM operation and extreme temperature variations typical of modified and competition powerplants.

This filter benefits engine builders, track enthusiasts, and performance shops integrating custom oiling systems into LS, small-block, big-block, and other high-displacement platforms. The straight-flow design and AN male fittings ensure compatibility with aftermarket scavenge pumps, oil coolers, and catch-can systems commonly found in drift, road race, and drag applications. Installation requires standard AN hose and fittings; the 0.3 lb weight has negligible impact on overall vehicle weight distribution. Proper sizing and positioning of the scavenge circuit ensures optimal oil return rates and prevents cavitation or starvation in critical engine components.
