Bosch P9610 - Oil Filter Car

Product Overview

The Bosch P9610 Oil Filter Car is a high‑performance engine protection component designed to keep your vehicle’s lubrication system clean and efficient. Engine oil carries away heat, reduces friction, and protects critical moving parts from wear. The P9610 filter captures contaminants such as metal shavings, dirt, and combustion by‑products, ensuring that only pristine oil circulates through the engine.

Key Features

• Premium Filtration Efficiency: Utilizes a multi‑layer media system that removes up to 99.9% of particles larger than 5 microns.
• Robust Construction: Made from high‑quality polypropylene housing and reinforced with a durable rubber gasket for leak‑free performance.
• Wide Compatibility: Fits an extensive range of Mercedes-Benz, Puch, and other OEM models, including the S‑Class, SL, G‑Model, W123, W126, and many more.
• Easy Installation: Designed for quick removal and replacement with standard filter wrenches; no special tools required.
• Long‑Lasting Seal: The gasket material is engineered to resist oil degradation, maintaining a tight seal over extended service intervals.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and allow the engine to cool.
2. Locate the Filter: Open the hood and identify the oil filter housing; it is typically positioned near the front of the engine block.
3. Drain Excess Oil (Optional): For models with a removable drain plug, you may choose to drain a small amount of oil before removal to reduce pressure.
4. Remove Old Filter: Use an appropriate filter wrench to loosen and unscrew the old filter. Be prepared for a slight splash of oil.
5. Inspect Housing: Clean any debris from the housing opening with a rag; ensure the gasket seat is free of damage.
6. Install New Filter: Place the new Bosch P9610 onto the housing, hand‑tighten until snug. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the gasket.
7. Check for Leaks: Start the engine briefly and observe the filter area for any oil seepage; tighten slightly if necessary.
8. Dispose of Old Filter Properly: Return the used filter to a recycling facility or designated disposal point.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the filter at every scheduled oil change, typically every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
• If you drive in dusty or harsh conditions, consider more frequent replacements to preserve engine longevity.
• Always use a high‑quality oil that meets manufacturer specifications; the filter’s performance is maximized when paired with proper lubrication.
