An oil management system and oil filter utilized in association with an
internal combustion engine. The oil filter comprises high-efficiency
filtration media for filtering engine oil associated with the internal
combustion engine. At least one type of time release additive can be
impregnated into the filtration media, wherein the time release additives
are automatically released into the engine oil filter from filtration
media in order to replenish additives already present in the engine oil.
Additionally, a sensor module can be provided that monitors oil quality
and oil filter efficiency through detecting one or more attributes of the
engine oil filtered through the filtration media of oil filter in order
to efficiently conserve and manage the oil and reduce the interval of oil
changes thereof by extending the life of the engine oil through the
replenishment of the additives present in the engine oil and higher
filtration effectiveness of the filter.
