A filter device includes a functional element and a filter element arranged in a filter housing. The filter element includes an enclosure positioned about a central axis and below filter material of the filter element. The enclosure includes an enclosure wall that defines an inner volume that is in fluid communication with an orifice of the functional element when the filter element is positioned over the functional element.

An apparatus facilitates multiple paths or circuits through an engine and remote housing for an oil filter. The apparatus includes a first oil filter chamber housing a first oil filter, a second oil filter chamber housing a second oil filter, a first output of the remote housing configured to provide a path from the first oil filter chamber housing to bearings of an engine, a second output of the remote housing configured to provide a path from the second oil filter chamber housing to a sump of the engine, and an input of the remote housing configured to provide a path from an oil pump of the engine to the first oil filter chamber housing.

A system includes an oil catch compartment, at least one magnetic stud or rod, a motor compartment, and a switch. The oil catch compartment includes a first end configured for coupling to an oil filter. The at least one magnetic stud or rod is positioned along a sidewall of the oil catch compartment. The motor compartment includes a gearbox shaft and a puncturing device. The gearbox shaft is telescopically coupled to a second end of the oil catch compartment. The puncturing device is coupled to the gearbox shaft and positioned at least partially within the housing of the motor compartment or the oil catch compartment. The switch is formed on an outside surface of a battery compartment and communicatively connected to a motor coupled to the gearbox shaft. The switch is actuatable to cause the motor to advance the puncturing device via the gearbox shaft.
