Air filter
A particulate air filter is a device composed of fibrous, or porous materials which removes particulates such as smoke, dust, pollen, mold, viruses and bacteria from the air.
Aircraft
An aircraft (aircraft) is a vehicle that is able to fly by gaining support from the air.
Automatic transmission
An automatic transmission (sometimes abbreviated AT) is a multi-speed transmission used in motor vehicles that does not require any input from the driver to change forward gears under normal driving conditions.
See Oil filter and Automatic transmission
Automatic transmission fluid
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is a hydraulic fluid that is essential for the proper functioning of vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions.
See Oil filter and Automatic transmission fluid
Bearing (mechanical)
A ball bearing A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.
See Oil filter and Bearing (mechanical)
Blend word
In linguistics, a blend—also known as a blend word, lexical blend, or portmanteau—is a word formed, usually intentionally, by combining the sounds and meanings of two or more words.
Car
A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels.
Centrifugal force
Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in Newtonian mechanics (also called an "inertial" or "pseudo" force) that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.
See Oil filter and Centrifugal force
Centrifuge
A centrifuge is a device that uses centrifugal force to subject a specimen to a specified constant force, for example to separate various components of a fluid.
Dry sump
A dry-sump system is a method to manage the lubricating motor oil in four-stroke and large two-stroke piston driven internal combustion engines.
Electromagnet
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.
See Oil filter and Electromagnet
Emulsion
An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible (unmixable or unblendable) owing to liquid-liquid phase separation.
Ferromagnetism
Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet.
See Oil filter and Ferromagnetism
Filter paper
Filter paper is a semi-permeable paper barrier placed perpendicular to a liquid or air flow. Oil filter and Filter paper are filters.
See Oil filter and Filter paper
Filtration
Filtration is a physical separation process that separates solid matter and fluid from a mixture using a filter medium that has a complex structure through which only the fluid can pass.
Fuel filter
A fuel filter is a filter used to screen out foreign particles or liquids from the fuel. Oil filter and fuel filter are filters.
See Oil filter and Fuel filter
Gas turbine
A gas turbine, gas turbine engine, or also known by its old name internal combustion turbine, is a type of continuous flow internal combustion engine.
See Oil filter and Gas turbine
Gravity
In physics, gravity is a fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between all things that have mass.
Hydraulic fluid
A hydraulic fluid or hydraulic liquid is the medium by which power is transferred in hydraulic machinery.
See Oil filter and Hydraulic fluid
Hydraulic machinery
Hydraulic machines use liquid fluid power to perform work.
See Oil filter and Hydraulic machinery
Impingement filter
An impingement filter can be used to purify a polluted solution, be it gas or liquid. Oil filter and impingement filter are filters.
See Oil filter and Impingement filter
Internal combustion engine
An internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine) is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. Oil filter and internal combustion engine are vehicle parts.
See Oil filter and Internal combustion engine
Land Rover engines
Engines used by the British company Land Rover in its 4×4 vehicles have included four-cylinder petrol engines, and four- and five-cylinder diesel engines.
See Oil filter and Land Rover engines
List of auto parts
This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles.
See Oil filter and List of auto parts
Magnet
A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field.
Micrometre
The micrometre (Commonwealth English) as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equalling (SI standard prefix "micro-".
Motor oil
Motor oil, engine oil, or engine lubricant is any one of various substances used for the lubrication of internal combustion engines.
Nozzle
A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (specially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe.
Oil pump (internal combustion engine)
The oil pump is an internal combustion engine part that circulates engine oil under pressure to the rotating bearings, the sliding pistons and the camshaft of the engine.
See Oil filter and Oil pump (internal combustion engine)
Oil-filter wrench
An oil-filter wrench is a tool for removing spin-on type oil filters.
See Oil filter and Oil-filter wrench
Petroleum industry
The petroleum industry, also known as the oil industry or the oil patch, includes the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transportation (often by oil tankers and pipelines), and marketing of petroleum products.
See Oil filter and Petroleum industry
Power steering
Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering.
See Oil filter and Power steering
Purolator Filters
MANN+HUMMEL Purolator Filters LLC, more commonly known as Purolator, is an American manufacturer of oil and air filters, based in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
See Oil filter and Purolator Filters
Seal (mechanical)
A seal is a device or material that helps join systems, mechanisms or other materials together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination.
See Oil filter and Seal (mechanical)
Sieve
A sieve, fine mesh strainer, or sift, is a tool used for separating wanted elements from unwanted material or for controlling the particle size distribution of a sample, using a screen such as a woven mesh or net or perforated sheet material.
Waste
Waste (or wastes) are unwanted or unusable materials.
Wet sump
Within piston engines, a wet sump is part of a lubrication system whereby the crankcase sump is used as an integral oil reservoir.
