What Does OFAB Stand For?

OFAB stands for Oil Filter Actual Bypass

OFAB, or Oil Filter Actual Bypass, refers to the functional mechanism within an engine's oil filtration system that allows oil to bypass the filter when it becomes clogged or restricted. This ensures that the engine continues to receive lubrication, preventing damage and maintaining performance, even when the filter is compromised. Managing the OFAB system is crucial for optimal engine health and longevity.
