Original MANN-FILTER Oil filter MH 55 – For Motorcycles

MANN‑FILTER MH 55 Oil Filter for Motorcycles

The MANN‑FILTER MH 55 oil filter is engineered specifically for high‑performance motorcycles, delivering superior protection for the engine’s lubrication system. Designed with precision and built to last, this filter ensures that only clean, contaminant‑free oil circulates through the engine, extending its life and maintaining optimal performance.

Key Design Features

• Advanced Filter Media: Utilizes a multi‑layer filtration system combining high‑grade synthetic fibers with a dense core that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, preventing wear and corrosion.
• Robust Housing Construction: Made from durable polypropylene reinforced with a metal sleeve for added strength, the housing resists deformation under high pressure and temperature conditions typical of motorcycle engines.
• Optimized Flow Path: Engineered to maintain low resistance while providing maximum filtration efficiency, ensuring consistent oil flow even at high RPMs.
• Sealed Gasket Design: Features a double‑seal rubber gasket that prevents leaks and ensures a tight fit on standard motorcycle oil filter threads.

Compatibility and Fitment

The MH 55 is specifically tailored for a wide range of motorcycle models, including but not limited to:

• KTM Supermoto series (660 SMC, 640 LC4)
• Husaberg and Husqvarna end‑uro and adventure bikes
• Various KTM FE, SC, and DUKE models
• Other high‑performance motorcycles with standard 42 mm filter threads

Its standardized dimensions (42 mm outer diameter, 70 mm length) make it a drop‑in replacement for most OEM filters in the aforementioned categories.

Performance Benefits

• Extended Engine Life: By trapping fine particulates and preventing sludge buildup, the MH 55 protects critical engine components such as bearings, pistons, and camshafts.
• Consistent Oil Pressure: Maintains stable oil pressure across a wide range of operating temperatures, ensuring reliable lubrication during aggressive riding or racing conditions.
• Reduced Maintenance Frequency: The high‑efficiency media allows for longer intervals between oil changes without compromising engine cleanliness.
• Improved Fuel Economy: Lower internal resistance translates to slightly reduced pumping losses, contributing to marginal fuel savings over time.

Installation Guide

1. Turn off the motorcycle and allow the engine to cool completely.
2. Locate the existing oil filter; unscrew it using a suitable wrench or filter tool.
3. Clean the mounting surface of any old gasket material or debris.
4. Apply a thin layer of fresh oil to the new MH 55 gasket to ensure a proper seal.
5. Screw the MH 55 onto the engine by hand until snug, then give an additional half‑turn with the wrench.
6. Check for leaks around the filter housing after starting the engine and letting it reach operating temperature.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter housing for cracks or deformation before each oil change.
• Avoid using excessive force when removing the filter; use a proper filter wrench to prevent damage.
• Replace the MH 55 at every scheduled oil change interval recommended by the motorcycle manufacturer.
