Grit, soot and dirt have always been part of the combustion process in every diesel engine. As fuel is burned, lubricating oil picks up these and other contaminants, and carries them through a full-flow filter where the really large particles are removed.
Even when a bypass filter is added, almost all particles below approximately ten microns still remain in the oil; these and even smaller particles are continually recirculated with the oil around pistons, cams and bearings.
In today's modern, close-clearance diesel engines which operate with only micron-thick oil films, the particles that do the most critical damage-those from tenths of a micron up to eight microns-don't get stopped by typical bypass filters. Ultimately, the abrasive action from these smaller particles causes major engine wear.
Engine wear is directly related to lube oil cleanliness.
