Original MANN-FILTER Oil Filter WP 962/5 – For utility vehicles

Product Overview

The MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter WP 962/5 is a high‑performance utility vehicle oil filter engineered to deliver superior protection for engines that operate under demanding conditions. Designed with the latest filtration technology, it ensures optimal engine longevity and reliability across a wide range of commercial vehicles.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual Anti‑Return Valves: Prevents oil backflow, maintaining consistent pressure and safeguarding against contamination during sudden load changes.
• Robust Construction: Made from premium synthetic fibers and a durable housing that withstands high temperatures and heavy-duty use.
• High Filtration Efficiency: Captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, reducing wear on bearings, pistons, and valves.
• Extended Service Life: Engineered for longer intervals between changes without compromising performance.
• Easy Installation: Screw‑on design with a 3/4‑16 UNF thread profile compatible with most utility vehicle engines.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool. Remove the old filter by unscrewing it counterclockwise, allowing any residual oil to drain into a catch pan.
2. Inspection: Check the housing and gasket for damage or wear. Replace if necessary.
3. Installation: Align the new filter’s thread with the engine housing. Hand‑tighten clockwise until snug, then give an additional half turn with a wrench to ensure a proper seal.
4. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and observe the filter area for any oil seepage. Tighten slightly more if leaks persist.
5. Repeat the process on the opposite side of the engine if the vehicle has dual filters.

Maintenance & Care Instructions

• Replace the filter at recommended intervals or when oil analysis indicates increased particulate load.
• Avoid using the filter in engines that require a different thread size; incorrect installation can lead to leaks.
• Store unused filters in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight.

Performance Highlights

The WP 962/5’s dual anti‑return valves maintain oil pressure during rapid acceleration or heavy braking, which is critical for utility vehicles that frequently encounter variable loads. Its high filtration efficiency protects engine components from abrasive particles, thereby reducing wear and extending service life.

Environmental & Compliance Information

The filter complies with European Union environmental regulations regarding waste disposal of oil filters. It is recyclable and designed to minimize the release of micro‑particles into the environment during operation.

Applications & Compatibility

• Commercial trucks, vans, and light-duty utility vehicles.
• Engines with a 3/4‑16 UNF screw thread profile.
• Suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines that operate under heavy load conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the dual anti‑return valves?

The valves prevent oil from flowing back into the engine when pressure drops, ensuring consistent lubrication and protecting against contamination.

Can I use this filter in a vehicle with a different thread size?

No. The WP 962/5 is specifically designed for 3/4‑16 UNF threads; using it on incompatible threads can cause leaks or damage.

How often should the filter be replaced?

Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service schedule, typically every 10,000–15,000 miles, or sooner if oil analysis shows increased particulate levels.

Conclusion

The MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter WP 962/5 delivers reliable, high‑efficiency filtration for utility vehicles that demand durability and performance. Its dual anti‑return valves, robust construction, and easy installation make it an ideal choice for fleet operators and individual vehicle owners seeking to protect their engines from wear and extend service intervals.
