The present invention provides an
oil filter for an engine. The
oil filter comprises a housing, a bottom plate, a first filter member, a second filter member and a
bypass valve. A diaphragm plate is arranged inside the housing and divides the inside of the housing into a first filter cavity and a second filter cavity, the first filter member is arranged inside the first filter cavity, a
metal impurity adsorbing material and a first
filter paper are arranged between a first
barrel body and a second
barrel body of the first filter member, the second filter member is arranged inside the second filter cavity, an entrance of the
bypass valve is communicated with a second working cavity, and an exit of the
bypass valve is communicated with the inner cavity of a third
barrel body. According to the
oil filter provided by the invention, large-grain
metal impurities in the oil are first filtered out by the
metal impurity adsorbing material, so as to reduce filtering pressure of the first
filter paper and a second
filter paper, prolonging a service cycle of the first filter member and the second filter member, and raising the
filter effect of the first filter member and the second filter member. And when the
metal impurities adsorbed by the metal
impurity adsorbing material reach a certain amount, a user only needs to directly replace the metal impurity adsorbing material.
