-16AN 100 Micron Oil Filter w/o Bypass

The Peterson Fluid -16AN 100 Micron Oil Filter without bypass is an in-line filtration solution engineered for high-performance engine cooling and fuel systems demanding superior cleanliness and minimal pressure drop. This 400 Series filter combines 100-micron stainless steel media with a bypass-less design, ensuring that all flow passes through the filtration element without diversion—critical for applications where absolute fluid purity is non-negotiable.

The -16AN JIC port configuration integrates directly into high-flow cooling and fuel circuits, accommodating hose and line assemblies built to AN standards. The 100-micron rating captures particulate contamination—corrosion byproducts, wear debris, and manufacturing residue—that would otherwise compromise bearing surfaces and precision fuel injectors. Without a bypass valve, this filter prioritizes filtration integrity over flow tolerance, making it suitable only for systems engineered with adequate pressure capacity. Compact dimensions (3.3 x 3.3 x 10.6 inches) and lightweight construction (1.55 lbs) simplify installation in tight engine bays and aftermarket cooling setups.

This filter targets builders and operators of high-displacement naturally aspirated and boosted engines where cooling system reliability directly impacts performance stability and longevity. Applications include custom cooling loops in race engines, specialized marine powerplants, and off-road recovery vehicles running remote auxiliary cooling circuits. Peterson Fluid's 400 Series is recognized in motorsports and heavy equipment sectors for manufacturing filtration hardware to OEM and aftermarket specification standards. Before installation, verify system pressure rating and flow requirements against the 100-micron no-bypass specification to ensure compatibility.
