The Original Synthetic Oil
AMSOIL Marine Dual Remote Filtration System (BMK18)
Marine Dual Remote Filtration System
(BMK-18)
The BMK18 is packaged in kit form, which includes the Dual filter
mount, mounting hardware, hoses, hose fittings, component
parts and installation instructions. In addition, adapter kits of four
different sizes enable the BMK18 to be installed on a wide
variety of recreational and light commercial marine engines.
Product Description
The Marine Dual Remote Filtration System (BMK18) offers easily accessible remote mounting
capability for a full-flow spin-on oil filter and a spin-on by-pass oil filter. This unique combination of
both full-flow and by-pass filtration on a single mounting manifold is the only system of this kind
designed specifically for marine applications.

Improved Performance
The effects of marine engines running predominantly at or
near full throttle after extended periods of non-activity
include high operating temperatures and increased
potential for wear on engine components. Dual remote
filtration is a highly efficient filtering process capable of
removing the vast majority of particles in the 5-20 micron
range; those that cause the most wear. Dual remote
filtration also has the ability to effectively remove particles
down to one micron in size. The AMSOIL Marine Dual
Remote Filtration System (BMK18) offers a clear advantage
by providing better oil filtration, increased oil capacity and
longer oil and filter life.
Reduces Heat
The BMK18 requires a one- to two-quart oil volume increase, offering increased oil cooling
capabilities. The additional hoses, fittings, filters and aluminum mount assemblies also allow the
engine oil to dissipate heat more efficiently as it passes through the filtration system, extending
the service life of both the engine and the engine oil..
Outstanding Durability
The Marine Dual Remote Filtration System is designed to
be used in harsh marine environments. The hose fittings
are coated with a 3 ml layer of Alumiplate™ and 1 ml of
zinc and yellow chromate. This Alumiplate coating is 10
times more corrosion resistant than standard zinc and
yellow chromate plated fittings. While standard hydraulic
fittings typically survive 96 hours in the grueling ASTM B-
117 Salt Spray Test, the Alumiplate-coated AMSOIL Marine
By-Pass System fittings lasted over 1,000 hours. In
addition, the fasteners and mounting bracket are stainless
steel and the hoses are U.S. Coast Guard approved.
Fewer Oil Changes
Depending on the boat owner’s hours of use, the improved filtration of the Marine Dual Remote
System, along with the use of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants, could completely eliminate oil and filter
changes during a typical boating season. With marine engines located in a relatively confined
and remote space within the watercraft, ease of filter access and reduced oil spillage are also
significant benefits of the BMK18.

Applications
A large number of marine diesel engines have by-pass oil filtration systems installed by the
engine manufacturer. Until now, however, this technology has not been available to smaller
pleasure boats and light commercial marine applications. The AMSOIL Marine Dual Remote
Filtration System was specifically designed for recreational and commercial marine applications
that use inboard or inboard/outboard stern drive engines.

The BMK18 is packaged in kit form, which includes the Dual filter mount, mounting hardware,
hoses, hose fittings, component parts and installation instructions. In addition, adapter kits of four
different sizes enable the BMK18 to be installed on a wide variety of recreational and light
commercial marine gasoline-fueled engines, including those manufactured by Chris Craft,
Chrysler, Crusader, Evinrude, Johnson, Gray Marine, Mercruiser, OMC, Pleasurecraft, Universal,
Volvo Penta and Westerbeke.

The BMK18 kit offers a new heavy-duty, machined aluminum adapter and retaining nut that fits on
the existing oil filter mount. Each adapter kit is application specific and must be ordered
separately. Adapter kits are available for the most popular filter thread sizes. When ordering the
BMK18, request one of the following adapter kits:

• BK195 for 3⁄4" x 16 thread
• BK196 for 13⁄16" x 16 thread
• BK197 for 18 mm x 1.5 mm thread
• BK198 for 20 mm x 1.5 mm thread

Also, for ease of installation in some applications, optional 90-degree fittings (BK199 and BK200)
can be mounted on the filter adapter collar. These parts are also sold separately.

The AMSOIL Marine Dual Remote Filtration System represents the cutting edge of filtration
technology, another example of the AMSOIL commitment to providing quality innovations that
benefit consumers everywhere.

The remote mount of the BMK18 is compatible with the AMS-Oiler™ Oil Precharger (AMK01). For
added engine protection, install the AMK01 to reduce dry starting which is typical of marine
engines that sit idle for even short periods of time.
