🔍 Key Concepts

• How filter clogging or contamination affects fluid flow and resistance • Relationship between flow resistance and pressure drop in a filter at constant flow • What "normal operation" of a lube oil filter means over time (from clean to dirty)

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the internal passages of the filter element as it collects dirt during use. Does it become easier or harder for oil to pass through? • If resistance to flow through the filter changes, how will that show up on the difference between inlet and outlet pressure readings? • Imagine starting with a brand‑new, clean filter. Compare the pressure drop across it on day one versus after many hours of operation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of pressure drop (inlet pressure minus outlet pressure). • Assume flow rate and system operation stay roughly the same during normal service, and ask how a dirty vs. clean filter affects differential pressure. • Eliminate any option that would mean the filter’s condition has no impact on system indications over time (is that realistic?).
