Generally, an oil filter and a strainer seek to perform a very similar task — to remove contaminants as oil passes through — but at a completely different scale.

Instruction

1. Strainers are employed to capture much larger contaminants. By larger, this refers to objects of approximately 40 microns or greater. 

2. Oil filter usually is much more complex in regard to the pathways through which oil must pass. There are many oil filters in WUZHOU KINGDA, if you are inetrested in our products, please feel free to contact us!

3. This provides more opportunities for contaminants to be captured more efficiently, as well as for other types of contaminants such as moisture to be trapped.

4. This raises the question of the best application for a strainer versus an oil filter. In most cases, strainers are seen in suction lines into a pump. If suction pressure is increased due to flow restriction.

5. In application, the choice of an oil filter must be balanced with the system's operating and environmental requirements.
