Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the vehicle: Warm up the engine to operating temperature, then shut off and allow it to cool slightly.
2. Drain the oil: Position a drain pan under the oil sump and remove the drain plug to allow residual oil to flow out.
3. Remove the old filter: Unscrew the existing oil filter using a filter wrench. Be careful of hot oil.
4. Install the gasket set: Place the new gasket onto the filter housing, ensuring it sits flush against the mounting surface.
5. Mount the new filter: Screw the HU 722 y filter onto the housing, tightening to the manufacturer’s torque specification (typically 5 Nm). Do not overtighten.
6. Refill engine oil: Reinstall the drain plug and pour fresh oil into the filler neck, checking for leaks.
7. Check operation: Start the engine and let it reach normal operating temperature. Inspect for any signs of leakage or abnormal noise.

Performance Benefits

• Extended engine life: By removing abrasive particles, the filter reduces wear on critical components.
• Improved fuel efficiency: Maintaining optimal oil viscosity and flow reduces engine drag.
• Consistent protection: The gasket set prevents oil seepage, ensuring the filter remains sealed throughout its service interval.
• Reliability in high‑performance engines: Designed to withstand the demands of turbocharged and direct‑injection powertrains.
