• Wide Compatibility: Fits a broad spectrum of models including Citroën GS, Ami, Axel, OLTCIT, and many other passenger cars. The filter’s design accommodates various engine sizes and oil capacities.
• Easy Installation: Screw‑on construction with standard M18x1.5 threads allows for quick replacement without special tools or additional components.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Warm the engine slightly to reduce oil viscosity. Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.
2. Remove Old Filter: Use a filter wrench or suitable tool to unscrew the existing filter. Allow any residual oil to drain into a container.
3. Inspect Housing: Check for cracks, dents, or debris that could compromise seal integrity.
4. Install New Filter: Align the threaded end with the engine’s filter housing. Hand‑tighten until snug, then give an additional quarter turn to ensure a proper seal.
5. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and observe the new filter area for any oil seepage. Tighten further if necessary.

Maintenance & Longevity

The MANN‑FILTER W 712/15 is engineered to last between oil changes, typically every 5,000–10,000 km depending on driving conditions. However, for high‑performance or heavy‑load scenarios, consider replacing the filter more frequently to maintain optimal engine protection.
