An oil filter is a filter designed to remove contaminants from engine oil, transmission oil, lubricating oil,

or hydraulic oil. Their chief use is in internal-combustion engines for motor vehicles (both on- and off-
road ), powered aircraft, railway locomotives, ships and boats, and static engines such as generators and
pumps. Other vehicle hydraulic systems, such as those in automatic transmissions and power steering,
are often equipped with an oil filter. Gas turbine engines, such as those on jet aircraft, also require the
use of oil filters. Oil filters are used in many different types of hydraulic machinery. The oil industry itself
employs filters for oil production, oil pumping, and oil recycling. Modern engine oil filters tend to be
"full-flow" (inline) or "bypass".
