Mann Filter H182KIT Hydraulic Filter

Product Overview

The MANN‑FILTER H182KIT Hydraulic Filter is a premium automatic transmission filter kit designed to protect the hydraulic system of modern automatic gearboxes. It combines a high‑performance filter cartridge with an integrated oil pan gasket, ensuring reliable operation and extended service intervals.

Key Features

• High‑Efficiency Filtration: The cartridge is engineered to capture particles as small as 0.5 µm, preventing wear on clutch plates, torque converters, and other critical components.
• Integrated Oil Pan Gasket: Eliminates the need for a separate gasket, reducing installation time and minimizing potential leakage points.
• Robust Construction: Made from durable polypropylene with reinforced layers to withstand high pressure and temperature variations typical of automatic transmissions.
• Universal Compatibility: Fits a wide range of vehicles including MERCEDES‑BENZ, CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, SSANGYONG, and many others. The kit is available in multiple variants (e.g., 5073878AA, 52108325AA) to match specific transmission models.
• OEM Quality Assurance: Manufactured under strict quality control standards, meeting or exceeding OEM specifications for all supported brands.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental electrical discharge.
2. Drain Transmission Fluid: Place a drain pan beneath the transmission oil pan and remove the drain plug. Allow fluid to fully drain before proceeding.
3. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew the existing filter cartridge. Dispose of it according to local regulations.
4. Install New Gasket: Apply a thin layer of transmission fluid to the gasket surface and press it firmly onto the oil pan, ensuring even contact.
5. Insert Filter Cartridge: Align the cartridge with the inlet port and screw it in until snug. Avoid over‑tightening to prevent damage.
6. Refill Transmission Fluid: Reconnect the drain plug and refill the transmission with the manufacturer’s recommended ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid). Check for leaks.
7. Test Drive: Start the engine, allow it to reach operating temperature, and shift through all gears. Verify smooth operation and absence of abnormal noises.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the filter every 30,000 km or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Inspect the gasket for signs of wear or cracking before each replacement cycle.
• Use only approved ATF grades (e.g., Dexron‑VI, AG‑60) to maintain optimal hydraulic performance.
• Avoid overfilling; excess fluid can cause foaming and reduce filter efficiency.
