Why By-pass Filtration Is Superior
With the introduction of combination lube filtration technology, Cummins Filtration revolutionized the industry. As SAE 710813/790098 confirms, by-pass filtration reduces engine wear in the following key areas:
- Upper connecting rod bearing shell
- Lower connecting rod bearing shell
- Upper main bearing shell
- Lower main bearing shell
StrataPore™ Media
By implementing the revolutionary
StrataPore™ multi-layered media in the 1990s, the combo filter was improved even more.
StrataPore™ was introduced in the full flow section to work in combination with the stacked discs to remove the smallest dirt particles, which cause the most engine damage. This configuration reduces engine wear by as much as 60% in some applications.
Venturi™ Combo System
The technology was taken even further with the introduction of the
Venturi™ Combo. The OEM-approved
Venturi™ allows the lube system to perform up to four times as long and remove up to three times the contaminants as a full synthetic filter. The patented
Venturi™ nozzle provides a low-pressure zone for the oil to flow through the pleated media for increased efficiency. This innovative technology results in longer life and better performance for your vehicle. And, unlike its competitors, the
Venturi™ Combo was tested in a real world environment, not bench tested.
