Default Not filtered oil?

SuperHart You have a nice system for your peroiler, but there is NO filter for this oil:confused, which comes from the BOTTOM of the oil pan through the drain plug hole. Any metal in the oil pan could get sucked into the motor and bearings through this setup. My oil has gone through the filter first before going into the accusump tank. I hope there is some screens or filters in the lines going and coming from oil pan and into block. Is there a check valve to stop the oil from going back into the oil pan through the supply line? . There was a company that used the dipstick hole to supply oil to a little pump for peroiling a motor. Pump was very strong and it would suckup the crap in the bottom of oil pan if the hose was too long. There was NO filters on the hose. The company was sued and went under. I know you change your oil on a regular basic, but if a bearing starts going bad and shaves, your peroiler could suck up the metal and could spin a bearing and loose the whole motor. Just my thoughts. Rick L. I think it is more for turbo system cars for cool down than motor perlubers.
