Abstract: A valve includes a valve body (100) disposable within a chamber (103) of a housing (101) and capable of being fluidly sealed with respect to the housing (101) when the valve is closed. At least one radial passage (117) is disposed in the valve body (100). At least one axial passage (119) is disposed in the valve body (100) in fluid communication with the at least one radial passage (117). When the valve at least partially opens, a fluid path opens between the valve body (100) and the housing (101), which fluid path (301) in is fluid communication with the at least one radial passage (117), and fluid from within the housing (101) is capable of passing out of the at least one axial passage (119).

Abstract: A canister oil filter for an internal combustion engine comprising a plurality of filter elements with seals on each end of each filter, the filters being stacked end to end within the tubular housing, an oil inlet and outlet disposed in one end of the canister and a spring biased retainer collar, which keeps pressure on all of the end seals, disposed in the same end of the canister as the oil inlet and outlet with the bias of the spring and the force from the impinging incoming oil acting generally in the same direction, to form a canister with improved filter sealing.
