A centrifugal liquid separating system broadly comprises an insert cartridge including a housing, an inlet, one or more flow guides, a stator, a compression nozzle, an expansion nozzle, and an outlet. The flow guides guide liquid flowing into the inlet past the stator into the compression nozzle. The stator induces a rotational vortex into the liquid flow. Liquid with heavier particles in the liquid flow is urged to the outside of the rotational vortex. Liquid with lighter particles and cleaner liquid is urged to the inside of the rotational vortex. The compression nozzle and the expansion nozzle are aligned to cooperatively form an annular liquid channel. The liquid with the heavier particles flows through the annular liquid channel and the liquid with the lighter particles and the cleaner liquid flows to the expansion nozzle to the outlet.

A filter arrangement for the filtration of oil or an ATF fluid, in particular a transmission oil filter, has at least a first and a second filtration layer which are arranged spaced apart by at least one spacer in a filter housing to form at least one intermediate chamber. At least one magnet or a magnet arrangement for keeping iron particles out of the oil flow are provided between the first and the second filtration layers.
