A lubricant management system for an engine includes first and second lubricant filtering components operatively connected to the engine. A switching mechanism selectively couples the first and second filtering components to t he engine for circulating the lubricant of the engine selectively through either one o f the first and second filtering components. Accordingly, the engine is permitted to remain in operation while changing the filtering components by selecting only one of t he components to communicate with the engine at a time while the other is replaced. Used oil is also withdrawn and injected back into the intake of the engine i n a combustion mode of operation or injected into a holding tank for later recycling in a recycling mode of operation.
