-16AN 100 Micron Oil Filter w/o Bypass

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

The -16AN JIC port configuration allows for direct integration into high-flow cooling and fuel circuits, accommodating hose and line assemblies built to AN standards. The 100-micron rating effectively captures particulate contamination, including corrosion byproducts, wear debris, and manufacturing residue, that could 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 designed with adequate pressure capacity.

This filter is ideal for builders and operators of performance engines where cooling system reliability is crucial for 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. Its compact dimensions and lightweight construction simplify installation in tight engine bays and aftermarket cooling setups.
