Engine Oil Filter Adapters

Name: Engine Oil Filter Adapters | Oil Routing & Filter Mounts - Frigate
Price: 249.00 USD
Availability: InStock

Engine oil filter adapters are designed to endure cyclical thermal expansion, constant vibration, and long-term exposure to aggressive lubricants. To meet these demands, advanced adapters are manufactured from high-strength, precision-cast aluminum alloys or engineered composites with a controlled microstructure that resists fatigue cracking and corrosion.

Material Specification

Billet Aluminum (6061-T6), Cast Iron (DIN 1691), or Stainless Steel (AISI 304)

Engine Block Mounting Interface

SAE J518 Code 61/62 (4-bolt flange), OEM-specific bolt pattern, or NPT threaded (1/2”–1”)

Oil Filter Mounting Interface

Spin-on (M20x1.5, 3/4”-16 UNF), Remote-mount (AN-10/12), or Cartridge-style (O-ring sealed)

Dimensional Tolerances

±0.05mm (Bore alignment), ±0.1mm (Flange flatness)

Oil Port Configuration

Dual-port (Bypass/feed), Thermostat-integrated, or Turbo feed line (1/8” NPT)

Product Description

To further improve durability, surface treatments like hard anodizing or chemical passivation are applied. These coatings enhance resistance to pitting and galvanic corrosion, ensuring dimensional stability and dependable performance under high-temperature, high-pressure operating conditions.

Pressure Rating

10–100 psi (Standard), 150 psi (High-performance), 300 psi (Race)

Seal Material & Type

Viton O-rings (High-temp), PTFE gaskets, or Copper crush washers

Internal Flow Path Design

Straight-through (Low restriction), Bypass valve (15–25 psi), or Coolant-integrated (Oil cooler ports)

Corrosion Resistance/Coating

Hard Anodized (Aluminum), Nickel-plated (Steel), or Ceramic-coated (High-temp)

Certification Standards

ISO 4548 (Filter tests), SAE J20 (Fluid seals), ASME B16.5 (Flanges)

Technical Advantages

Internal geometries are engineered using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize oil flow paths, reducing turbulence and minimizing pressure drop across the adapter body. Flow-optimized channels and radiused transitions help maintain laminar flow, supporting rapid oil delivery to critical engine bearings and hydraulic lifters. This approach ensures consistent lubrication even during transient load conditions, safeguarding against localized starvation and thermal hotspots.

Adapter-to-block and filter-to-adapter interfaces are designed with precision-machined sealing lands and integrated O-ring grooves, accommodating high-durometer elastomers that retain elasticity under thermal cycling. Finite element analysis (FEA) validates stress distribution across sealing surfaces, reducing the risk of microleakage and gasket extrusion. This robust sealing strategy supports long service intervals and reduces the likelihood of oil seepage in both static and dynahttps://frigate.ai/supplychain/why-predictive-maintenance-is-the-key-to-reducing-equipment-downtime/mic operating conditions.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does adapter material selection affect thermal expansion and long-term sealing performance for Frigate applications?

Selecting an adapter material with a low coefficient of thermal expansion is critical for Frigate engines, as it maintains consistent gasket compression under wide temperature fluctuations and high vibration, preventing oil leaks and ensuring reliable sealing over extended operational cycles.

What impact does internal flow path geometry have on oil pressure and filtration efficiency in Frigate engine systems?

Optimized internal channel geometry in Frigate oil filter adapters reduces turbulence and minimizes pressure drop, guaranteeing stable oil pressure and efficient contaminant removal at varying engine speeds and loads, which is essential for mission-critical reliability.

How does the adapter interface accommodate pressure and temperature sensor integration for real-time diagnostics in Frigate platforms?

Precision-machined sensor ports on Frigate engine oil filter adapters, with standardized threads and sealing surfaces, enable secure and leak-free installation of pressure and temperature sensors, supporting accurate, real-time data acquisition for advanced engine health monitoring and predictive maintenance.

Why is anti-drain-back valve compatibility critical for preventing oil starvation at Frigate engine startup?

Engine Oil Filter Adapters compatible with anti-drain-back valves retain oil within the filter assembly of Frigate engines, ensuring immediate lubrication upon startup and significantly reducing wear during cold starts or after prolonged shutdowns in demanding marine environments.

What are the torque requirements for adapter installation to avoid deformation or improper sealing in Frigate applications?

Specified torque values for Frigate engine oil filter adapters ensure uniform gasket compression, preventing housing deformation and minimizing the risk of oil leaks under dynamic engine loads, thereby supporting operational safety and long-term component integrity.
