Installation Guidelines

1. Warm the engine to operating temperature to allow oil to flow freely.
2. Drain or let the engine run until the oil level is below the minimum mark.
3. Unscrew the existing filter carefully, allowing any residual oil to drain.
4. Clean the mounting surface with a lint‑free cloth; remove old gasket material if present.
5. Place a new gasket (if required) and screw in the W 920/48 until it is snug but not overtightened.
6. Refill engine oil to the specified level and start the engine, checking for leaks.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the filter at every oil change or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Avoid using incompatible filters that lack an anti‑return valve; this can compromise engine protection.
