Con el tiempo supuestamente se filtraría todo el volumen de aceite y mejor que nada es. El filtro bypass fue el primer sistema de filtrado después de una simple malla colocada en el chupador de la bomba de aceite. Va un poco de historia de los filtros de aceite.

Purolator, Inventor Of Automotive Oil Filter, Leads Industry With String Of Filter 'Firsts'
Purolator Filters
Purolator is the oldest and most trusted name in automotive filtration. From its humble beginnings as the Motor Improvements Company of New York City in the 1920s, it has grown to become Purolator Products NA LLC, a leader in its product category today.
In the beginning, the Motor Improvements Company of New York City was a small company dedicated to making improvements in the automobile. However, when Ernest Sweetland and George H. Greenhalgh invented the first automotive filtration system in 1923, and subsequently licensed it to Motor Improvements, they turned the tide in the company's favor. Sweetland and Greenhalgh named their invention 'Purolator,' short for Pure Oil Later.
The young automotive industry noticed how this invention produced the need for fewer oil changes, maintained cleaner oil in the engine and reduced engine wear. Very soon, Purolator began to be installed on several new cars and Motor Improvements, which began manufacturing the product in a New York City garage, changed its name to Purolator Products.
Ever since, Purolator has been manufacturing, marketing and distributing quality automotive filters to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket. A recent agreement with Robert Bosch LLC has made Bosch the joint venture owner of Purolator Filters NA LLC. Today, the Purolator brand includes more than 2,000 part numbers for automotive, light truck and heavy duty applications. In addition, Purolator Filters NA's manufacturing plant is 'TS-16949' and 'ISO 14001' registered.
Rich History of Innovation
While on its way to becoming a well-recognized and respected leading brand in its category, Purolator picked up a number of important 'firsts.'
·1923: Purolator developed the first automotive oil filter.
·1937: Purolator developed the first paper filtration media with filter replacement capability.
·1943: Purolator developed the first 'Full Flow' filter capable of filtering 100 percent of an engine's motor oil. This led to the Full Flow lubrication system used today.

·1960s and 1970s: Purolator developed filtration products for transmission fluids, power steering fluids, hydraulics, coolants, crankcase emissions, and other liquids and gases.
·1996: Purolator introduced PureONE - 'the very best oil filter on the market today.'
