Key Features & Benefits

• Advanced Filtration Technology: Utilises a multi‑layer filter media that captures particles as small as 5 µm, ensuring clean oil flow and extended engine life.
• High Flow Capacity: Engineered to maintain optimal oil pressure even under high‑temperature or high‑speed conditions, which is critical for modern engines with tight tolerances.
• Durable Construction: Made from robust polypropylene housing and a reinforced gasket that resists cracking and deformation during installation.
• Easy Installation: Features a standard spin‑on design compatible with most OEM and aftermarket fittings, allowing for quick replacement without special tools.
• Broad Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of vehicles including Ford Cargo, Iveco Trakker, New Holland tractors, Astra HD models, and many other passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Warm the engine to operating temperature to ensure oil viscosity is optimal for filter removal.
2. Locate the Old Filter: Identify the existing oil filter, usually positioned near the engine block or on a side panel.
3. Remove the Old Filter: Use an appropriate wrench or hand tool to unscrew the old filter. Be prepared for residual oil; place a catch pan underneath.
4. Clean the Mounting Surface: Wipe away any debris or old gasket material from the mounting area to ensure a proper seal.
5. Install the New Filter: Align the filter with the mounting surface and hand‑tighten. Then use a wrench to give an additional quarter turn, ensuring a snug fit without overtightening.
6. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and observe the new filter area for any oil seepage. Tighten slightly if necessary.
