What Does OFIB Stand For?

OFIB stands for Oil Filter Impending Bypass

OFIB, or Oil Filter Impending Bypass, refers to a condition in oil filtration systems where the pressure differential across an oil filter indicates that the filter is becoming clogged or saturated. This impending bypass condition can lead to a temporary reduction in filtration efficiency and may allow unfiltered oil to circulate within the engine or system. Monitoring OFIB is crucial for ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity, as it signals the need for filter maintenance or replacement to prevent potential engine damage.
