• High‑Efficiency Filtration Media: Utilizes a multi‑layered filtration system that captures particles as small as 5 µm, protecting the engine from wear and extending service life.
• Low Pressure Drop: Engineered to minimize resistance in the oil circuit, preserving fuel economy and maintaining optimal oil flow.
• Robust Construction: Made with high‑quality polypropylene housing that resists corrosion, temperature extremes, and mechanical stress.
• Easy Installation: Screw‑on design compatible with standard passenger car filter housings; no special tools required.
• Durable Seal: Precision O‑ring sealing ensures leak‑free operation even under high pressure and temperature variations.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility Overview

The WK 842/15 is engineered to fit a wide range of passenger car models, including but not limited to:

• Compact hatchbacks and sedans with inline‑4 engines.
• Mid‑size vehicles featuring V‑6 powertrains.
• Luxury cars equipped with small V‑8 engines.

Its standardized screw‑on interface aligns with the majority of OEM filter housings, making it a versatile choice for both original equipment and aftermarket installations.

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and allow the engine to cool to prevent oil burns.
2. Locate the Oil Filter: Open the hood and identify the filter housing; it is typically positioned near the front of the engine block.
3. Remove the Old Filter: Use a filter wrench or hand‑tighten to loosen the existing filter. Allow residual oil to drain into a catch pan.
4. Install the WK 842/15: Align the screw threads and tighten by hand until snug, then give an additional 1/4 turn with the wrench to ensure a secure seal.
5. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and observe the filter area for any oil seepage. Tighten slightly if necessary.

Performance Highlights

The WK 842/15 delivers exceptional filtration efficiency while maintaining low resistance to oil flow, which translates into:

• Enhanced Engine Longevity: By trapping fine particles that could cause wear, the filter protects critical engine components.
• Consistent Oil Pressure: Low pressure drop ensures the engine receives adequate lubrication under all operating conditions.
• Improved Fuel Economy: Efficient oil flow reduces parasitic losses, contributing to better overall vehicle efficiency.
