A method for removing soot from an engine oil, the method comprising: disposing an oil containing soot particles between a pair of electrodes; applying a DC or AC current to the pair of electrodes for a period of time to generate an electric field, wherein the electric field causes a portion of the soot particles to agglomerate on a positive electrode of the pair of electrodes and other portions of the soot particles not collected on the positive electrode are also agglomerated by the electric field resulting in a larger average particle size; and applying a filtering process to remove the soot particles not collected on the positive electrode. Also disclosed herein is a filter for removing soot particles from an engine oil having soot particles disposed therein, the filter comprising: a housing having an inlet and an outlet defining a flow path through a chamber defined by the housing; a pair of electrodes disposed in the flow path, the electrodes being disposed in the flow path, the pair of electrodes being electrically coupled to a DC or AC current, wherein an electric filed is generated by the pair of electrodes and one of the pair of electrodes is a positive electrode, wherein the electric field causes a portion of the soot particles to agglomerate on the positive electrode.

An improved oil filter, for use with an internal combustion engine, comprises a hollow filter housing defining a chamber therein and having an inlet and an outlet with a flow path therebetween; a mechanically active filter member disposed inside the filter housing in the flow path; and a chemically active filter member disposed inside the filter housing in the flow path. The chemically active filter member comprises a plurality of composite oil additive pellets. The plurality of pellets is interconnected to form a substantially integral permeable member, and the substantially integral permeable member is impregnated with an alkaline composition. The alkaline composition is provided to counteract acidic combustion products in lubricating oil in an internal combustion engine.

An oil filter for rejuvenating lubricating oil to prevent premature wear by ensuring that impurities will not circulate through the engine has a housing, a mechanically active filter element, and a chemically active filter element. A flow path defined by the housing is configured to pass the fluid entering the housing through housing inlets first through the chemically active filter element, then through a channel defined within the flow path of the housing at least partially disposed in a space separating the chemically active filter element and the mechanically active filter element, then through the mechanically active filter element, and finally to the housing outlets through which decontaminated and purified oil passes to the engine. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, substantially all of the fluid flowing through the housing passes through the chemically active filter element.
