Description
The Works Engineering JPM 20 is a performance-grade oil filter designed for enthusiasts who demand more than basic protection. Unlike standard OEM filters, the JPM 20 utilizes Eddy Conduction technology with an 8-baffle internal design.
This internal structure creates a specialized oil flow path that reduces “parasitic loss” on the oil pump. By minimizing internal drag, your engine can rev more freely, resulting in smoother power delivery and instant lubrication at high RPMs. It is the ideal upgrade for modern Honda, Mitsubishi, and Mazda performance platforms.
Key Benefits:
- Power Boost: Optimized flow helps release an additional 2-5% in HP.
- Vortex Flow: The 8-baffle system ensures maximum volumetric oil flow to critical engine parts.
- Stronger Construction: High-tensile steel housing prevents oil pressure spikes from deforming the filter.
- High-Precision Media: Advanced micro-fiber filtration captures microscopic contaminants without sacrificing flow speed.

Maintenance Tips
- Preparation: Clean the engine block mounting surface. Apply a thin layer of fresh oil to the filter’s rubber O-ring before installation.
- Hand-Tighten Only: Spin the filter on until the gasket makes contact, then tighten by hand an additional 3/4 turn. Do not use a wrench for tightening to avoid damaging the internal baffles.
- Drain Interval: For performance or turbocharged engines, replace every 5,000 km. For standard daily drivers, replace every 7,000–10,000 km.
- Seal Check: After the first drive following an oil change, inspect the base of the filter for any signs of seepage.
