Abstract: A fluid filter includes a filtered flow and a bypass flow. In particular, a fluid filter insert includes a first end cap, a second end cap, a screen disposed between the first and the second end caps, and a filter media surrounding the screen. Further, a method of filtering a fluid includes passing a first portion of the fluid through a fluid filter inlet, passing a second portion of the fluid through a filter media, and passing the first and the second portions through a filter outlet. In addition, a fluid filter includes a bypass inlet, a filter media inlet coaxial with the bypass inlet, an outlet axially spaced from the bypass inlet, and a housing surrounding the bypass inlet, the filter media inlet and the outlet. Further, the fluid filter provides that the bypass inlet is dimensioned to permit a predetermined amount of flow.
