Before 1923, cars had to have oil changes so frequently that it became very expensive and inconvenient. They did this to prevent engine damage due to the oil contaminants. Although incorporated into the lubricating system after the oil pump and before the oil flowed into pressure lubricated bearings of the engine, these oil filters were still not that effective.
The main purpose of the Mercedes Benz oil filter is to "filter" as many particles and contaminants as it could from the oil to protect the engine from being damaged. The Mercedes Benz oil filter does this and therefore prevents abrasive contaminants in the engine lubrication system from causing engine damage.
There are basically two-types of oil filters. These are the primary filter or the full-flow filter and the secondary filter or by-pass filter. Most engines used primary filters because in a normal operation, a hundred percent of the engine oil passes through them. The secondary filter acts separately form the primary filter. Only ten percent of the engine oil passes through it.
The filter media are the materials used in screening the particles. They essentially determine the efficiency, performance and useful life of the oil filter. Old oil filters used wool, cotton and various fabrics like line. The ideal Mercedes Benz oil filter must be very efficient in filtration by having a large dirt- holding capacity and a low initial restriction to oil flow.
