Oil Filters

An engine running on dirty oil won't last. Keep it clean with JS Asakashi Oil Filters. It helps capture harmful contaminants that can harm your engine before they can affect the performance, and life span of your engine. Oil Filter should not just filter engine oil but do it with high level of efficiency without blocking oil flow and remain its quality for sufficient period of time. Efficiency very much depends on quality and size of filtration media.

Using Plate spring and M-pleating of pleating media gives extended filtration area for compact size filters required by new vehicle manufacturers.

Parts of JS Asakashi Spin-On Oil Filter
  1. Heavy-Duty Case of drawn steel provides longer life and improved efficiency
  2. Anti-Drain back Valve - keeps oil in filter to prevent engine destroying dry starts. It stays flexible in extreme temperatures
  3. Mounting Plate - made by heavy gage steel prevents deflection (movement) at the gasket sealing surface and provides strong threaded attachment to the engine
  4. Inner Element made by "M"- type pleated, prescription-blended filter media provides more than adequate filter efficiency. The element has a controlled porosity blended media to assure complete filtration of the oil
  5. Plate Spring is used instead of commonly use coiled spring allows to increase size of element within the same size of filer case
  6. O-Ring Gasket - made by high quality rubber provides exterior seal in between filter and engine body even in extreme temperature
  7. By-pass Valve - is spring loaded valve assembly calibrated to certain pressure to prevent engine stay dry in case of emergency conditions as extremely low temperature or high contamination of media
Environmental Oil Filters

In addition to its conventional oil filter line, JS Asakashi provides high coverage for environmental oil filter applications. During servicing, only filter element is replaced and its internal components remain for the balance of the vehicle life.

Here are some reasons why car manufacturers getting use of environmental oil filter more often these days:

  • It is easy to remove and minimizing skin contact with waste oil
  • It reduces the risk of getting incompatible part by using back original internal components
  • Thermoplastic end discs of element made by recycled materials that helps to save environment
  • It saves a cost of servicing
