Original MANN-FILTER Oil Filter WK 842/16 – For Trucks, Buses and Utility Vehicles

MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter WK 842/16

The Original MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter WK 842/16 is engineered specifically for heavy‑duty trucks, buses and utility vehicles that demand uncompromising protection for their engines. Designed with the latest filtration technology, this filter delivers superior oil purity, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity.

Key Features & Benefits

• High‑Efficiency Filtration: Utilizes a multi‑layer media system that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, preventing wear on critical engine components.
• Robust Construction: Made from durable polypropylene housing and reinforced with a stainless steel filter element, it withstands the harsh operating conditions of commercial fleets.
• Easy Installation: The spin‑on design allows for quick replacement without special tools, reducing downtime during maintenance schedules.
• Extended Service Life: Engineered to maintain filtration performance over extended oil change intervals, helping fleet operators cut maintenance costs.
• Compatibility: Fits a wide range of DAF models (e.g., F 800, F 600, F 1000) and other heavy‑duty vehicles that use the WK 842/16 specification.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Locate the oil filter housing; it is typically positioned near the engine block or along the side of the chassis.
3. Use an appropriate wrench to loosen the existing filter. Allow any residual oil to drain into a catch pan.
4. Remove the old filter and discard it properly.
5. Apply a thin layer of fresh engine oil to the rubber gasket of the new WK 842/16 filter.
6. Insert the new filter into the housing, ensuring it sits flush against the gasket.
7. Tighten the filter by hand until snug, then give an additional half‑turn with a wrench for optimal seal.
8. Check for leaks around the filter housing after starting the engine and letting it reach operating temperature.

Maintenance & Service Tips

• Inspect the filter during routine oil changes; replace if visibly clogged or damaged.
• Avoid over‑tightening, which can damage the gasket and lead to leaks.
• Store spare filters in a dry environment to preserve media integrity.
• Use only genuine MANN‑FILTER products for best performance; counterfeit filters may compromise engine protection.

Why Choose MANN‑FILTER?

MANN‑FILTER is a globally recognized brand known for its rigorous quality standards and commitment to innovation. The WK 842/16 filter embodies this reputation, offering:

• Consistent performance across diverse operating conditions.
• Extensive testing in real‑world fleet environments.
• A proven track record of reducing engine wear and extending service intervals.

Applications & Vehicle Types

The WK 842/16 filter is ideal for:

• Commercial trucks (e.g., DAF, MAN, Volvo).
• Buses and coaches that require reliable engine protection.
• Utility vehicles such as delivery vans, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery.

Performance Highlights

Engine tests demonstrate that the WK 842/16 filter maintains oil cleanliness levels below 5 ppm total suspended solids (TSS), even after prolonged operation. This low TSS count translates to:

• Reduced friction and wear on pistons, bearings, and camshafts.
• Improved fuel efficiency due to lower engine resistance.
• Lower risk of oil sludge formation and associated maintenance issues.

Environmental Impact

The filter’s design promotes longer intervals between oil changes, which in turn reduces the volume of used oil that must be disposed of. By extending engine life and minimizing waste, the WK 842/16 contributes to a more sustainable fleet operation.

Conclusion

For operators seeking reliable, high‑performance protection for their heavy‑duty engines, the Original MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter WK 842/16 delivers unmatched filtration efficiency, durability, and ease of use. Its proven compatibility with a wide range of commercial vehicles makes it an essential component in any fleet’s maintenance arsenal.
