Blue Print ADF122112 Oil Filter – Precision Filtration for Ford Engines

The Blue Print ADF122112 Oil Filter is a high‑performance, spin‑on filter engineered to meet the exacting standards of modern Ford diesel and gasoline engines. Designed with a 79 mm outer diameter, this filter delivers superior protection against contaminants while maintaining optimal oil flow.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Model: ADF122112 – a dedicated OEM replacement for Ford vehicles.
• Fitment: Compatible with a wide range of Ford models including the C‑Max, Focus, Galaxy, Kuga, Mondeo, and S‑Max series. The filter is specifically tailored to fit engines equipped with the 2.0 TDCi Duratorq diesel unit.
• Construction: Made from durable polypropylene housing that resists high temperatures and chemical exposure.
Filter Media: Utilizes a multi‑layered filtration system comprising pre‑filter, media filter, and post‑filter layers to capture particles ranging from 5 µm down to sub‑micron scale.
• Seal & Thread: Equipped with an integrated sealing gasket (OE 1890364 / 2193141) that ensures a leak‑free installation on threaded oil filter housings.
• Installation Type: Spin‑on design allows for quick, tool‑less replacement during routine maintenance or oil changes.

Performance Benefits

The Blue Print ADF122112 delivers consistent engine protection by:

• Reducing Contaminant Load: Captures up to 99.9% of particulate matter, safeguarding bearings, pistons, and camshafts.
• Maintaining Oil Pressure: Its low resistance design preserves optimal oil pressure throughout the engine’s operating range.
• Extending Engine Life: By preventing sludge buildup and wear particles from circulating, it contributes to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs.

Installation Guide

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Lift the front of the car using a jack and secure with jack stands.
3. Locate the oil filter housing – it is typically positioned near the engine block, close to the oil pan.
4. Use an oil filter wrench or hand‑tighten to remove the old filter. Be prepared for residual oil; keep a rag nearby.
5. Inspect the mounting surface for debris and clean if necessary.
6. Apply a thin layer of fresh engine oil to the gasket of the new Blue Print ADF122112.
7. Screw the filter onto the housing by hand until snug, then give an additional ¾ turn with the wrench.
8. Lower the vehicle and start the engine. Check for leaks around the filter seal.
9. Dispose of the old filter responsibly – many recycling programs accept used oil filters.
