Thermostatically Controlled Remote Mount Oil Filter Heads:
While
every high performance engine obviously needs adequate oil
filtration, Hardin Marine has taken it one step further. The
all new Xtreme Thermostatic Oil Filter combines remote mount engine
oil filtration with a built-in oil thermostat that automatically
controls engine oil operating temperatures. This two-in-one
package eliminates the need for a single function remote oil
thermostat. Constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum this
assembly is available with a horizontal or vertically mounted
cylinder head bracket with a unique 360 degree clocking to
accommodate multiple oil line plumbing situations. The
addition of multiple oil pressure and oil temperature sender
locations also allows for this wide range of indexing positions.
Large 3/4" NPT inlet and outlet ports provide high volume oil flow
that will satisfy the most demanding engine applications.
NOTE: Filters sold separately.

REMOTE THERMOSTATIC FILTER OPERATION *FACTS*
Maintaining proper engine oil temperature has become critical to the success or failure of today’s performance marine engines. Prolonged use of marine engines in conditions where oil cannot reach its optimum working temperatures will result in sludge formation and crankcase dilution which leads to excessive wear especially in the cylinder bores and bearing surfaces. A thermostatic filter assembly combats this by permitting 90% of the engines oil to bypass the cooler during warm up. The balance of the oil flow is allowed to flow through the cooler maintaining constant pressure and preventing air pockets while eliminating cold oil shock. As engine oil temperature increases the percentage of oil flow is then regulated to maintain optimum oil temperature. This reduces scuffing and premature wear and inhibits engine blow-by. As engine oil temperature reaches its optimum operating temperature moisture and impurities that often cause a milky condition are eliminated. A remote engine oil thermostat also facilitates mounting of additional oil pressure and temperature switches. |
