What you need to know:
- Oil filters remove combustion residues, oil carbons, soot and metal particles from the circulating motor oil. This is necessary since dirty oil will result in poorer engine performance and higher fuel consumption, and can even end up causing engine failure.
- Even the smallest dirt particles in the oil form a kind of abrasive paste, which can damage the surfaces of engine components. Dirty oil also often causes damage to the bearings.
- Since engine oil circulates continuously through the engine, such particles can accumulate if filtration is insufficient. This will result in accelerated engine wear.
- Once the filter’s absorption capacity becomes exhausted, pressure within the filter rises rapidly, which can lead the filter to rupture.
- In their most familiar construction, oil filters resemble tin cans, which may be completed disposed of upon replacement. Certain engines, however, feature permanent filter housings. In these cases, only the filter cartridges are replaced.
- Oil filters should always be replaced with every motor oil change. If this is not done, it can lead to dirt deposited in the used oil filters being dislodged by the fresh oil.
Opt for the Genuine Part because:
- They reliably remove all dirt particles from oil circulating through the engine and safeguard the quality of the engine’s oil supply under all operating conditions, while minimizing engine wear. They offer a high degree of resistance due to their sturdy construction, even in the case of high oil viscosity, such as during cold start phases or low atmospheric temperatures.
- Withstand pressure loads of up to 20 bar (290 PSI), due to their pressure-resistant and corrosion-proof housings.
- Thanks to their high-grade sealing materials and precisely fitting joints, nothing escapes.
- They provide a high dirt absorption capacity despite extraordinarily low flow resistance.
- They are characterized by their resistance to high temperatures, as well as to aggressive engine oil elements.
- They ensure high engine performance and long engine life – which definitely makes them worth the money for your customers.
