Patent number: 8347845Abstract: In an engine oil filter system in which: a filter-attachment base is joined to one side surface of an engine; and an oil filter which filters lubricating oil supplied to the engine from an oil pump is attached to the filter-attachment base, an oil cooler for cooling down the lubricating oil transferred between the engine and the oil filter is formed integrally with the filter-attachment base. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an inexpensive engine oil filter system which includes an oil cooler constituted by utilizing a filter-attachment base, and which thus eliminates the need to modify an oil filter and also the need to form, on an engine, an attachment portion to which the oil cooler is exclusively attached.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhisa Ogawa, Kentaro Sugimura, Hiroaki Hasebe, Kouhei Arakawa
