🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of additives in modern lube oils (detergents, dispersants, anti-foaming, anti-wear, etc.) • Difference between absorption vs adsorption in filtering systems • What happens when a filter media is too chemically active with the oil

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: does the main problem with these filters relate more to cost, temperature limits, water capacity, or their effect on oil properties? • Think about what you want to KEEP in the lubricating oil as it circulates—could some filters remove those useful components? • Consider how a filter that works by surface attraction might interact with not just dirt, but also the chemicals blended into the oil.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what adsorption means compared to simple mechanical straining of particles. • Recall that lube oils are specially blended with performance-enhancing additives—would it be a problem if the filter removed them? • Eliminate options that talk about extreme temperature limits or water capacity if they don’t match how engine/turbine lube systems actually operate.
