The Path is in thru the parimeter holes and out thru the center hole. What the Oil Filter Does...
You may take your oil filter for granted, but this small, inexpensive part of your vehicle's lubrication system plays a vital role in protecting the engine from premature wear. Each moving part in the engine and the cylinder walls requires clean oil for proper lubrication and lasting life. The oil filter cleans the oil as it passes through the filter element or filtering media. This prevents abrasive contaminants in the engine lubrication system from damaging engine parts. The better you understand your engine's lubrication system, the more you'll appreciate the vital role your oil filter plays. When the engine is running, oil enters the oil pump through a screened intake. The screened intake -- or oil pick-up -- is located in the crankcase near the bottom surface of the oil pan. The oil is drawn through the screen intake and forced by the oil pump through the oil filter. Oil from the main gallery is also fed through vertical passages to the crankshaft main bearings and through the crankshaft to the rod bearings. Oil thrown from the crankshaft, or sprayed from the connecting rods, lubricates the pistons and cylinder walls. In a typical full-flow type oil filter, the oil flows into an inlet passage and then through the filtering element. After flowing through the filter element, the filtered or "clean" oil passes directly to the main oil gallery. In a partial-flow type filter, the oil returns directly to the oil pan. Oil from the main gallery lubricates the camshaft and the camshaft bearings (and feeds hydraulic valve lifters if used in the engine). On non-overhead cam engines, oil is metered through the valve lifter to a hollow push rod that carries oil for the lubrication of the push rod pivot point, rocker arm pivots and valve guide. Good Luck and Remember.

How is the diameter related to the radius of a circle?
The radius of a circle is a line that starts at the center of the circle and ends somewhere along the perimeter of the circle. The diameter is a line that starts at the perimeter of a circle, goes through the center of the circle, and ends at the opposite perimeter of the circle. This a diameter is twice as long as a radius and can be thought or as consisting of two radii.
What is meant by a circles circumference?
The Circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside of the circle. The Radius is the length of a line from the Center out to the Edge and ... The Diameter is the length of a line that passes through the Center from one Edge of the circle to the Edge on the opposite side.
Is diameter the distance around the circle?
Diameter is a straight line from edge to edge across the center. Perimeter or circumference is the distance around the circle.
What is the difference between perimeter and diameter?
The perimeter or circumference is the distance around a circle whereas the diameter is the distance across a circle through its centre.
The circumference of a circle represents?
The circumference of a circle represents its perimeter and the distance around it.
The distance around a geometric figure?
perimeter or circumference The only answer is perimeter. The circumference is the the perimeter of a circle; the distance around a circle.
What is the opposite point from the center of a circle?
The perimeter.
Is the circumference and the diameter the same thing?
Circumference is the perimeter of a circle Diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints are on the circle
What is 2 parts of a circle?
Parts of a circle include the diameter, circumference, radius, and center. The diameter of a circle is a chord passing through the center. The center is a single point at which the distance to locations on the circumference are equal. The circumference is the perimeter of the circle. The radius of the circle is half the diameter, and the distance from the center to a point on the outlying circumference.
A perimeter of a circle the distance around a circle?
A perimeter is the distance around two-dimensional shapes. The circumference is the distance around a circle. Typically the distance around polygons is a perimeter and circumference is used for closed curves.
The perimeter of a circle the distance around a circle?

A straight line from the center to the perimeter of a circle?
Its radius.
