Designed with Bosch’s renowned quality standards, this filter ensures that only the cleanest oil circulates through your engine, extending its life and maintaining optimal efficiency.

Key Features

• High‑Capacity Filtration: The P4014 incorporates a multi‑stage filtration system that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, preventing wear on critical engine components.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑strength polypropylene and reinforced with a metal housing, the filter withstands high pressure and temperature variations typical in modern engines.
• Low Pressure Drop: Engineered to maintain minimal resistance to oil flow, ensuring that your engine’s oil pump operates efficiently without added strain.
• Universal Fit: The standard 3/4" threaded design (16 UNF-2B) allows compatibility with a broad spectrum of vehicles, including many models from Toyota, Land Rover, and other major manufacturers.
• Backwash Capability: Certain variants feature a backwash port that can be used to clean the filter in service centers, extending its usable life and reducing maintenance costs.

Compatibility Overview

The Bosch P4014 is specifically tailored for use in engines that require a 3/4" threaded oil filter. It is widely accepted across numerous vehicle families:

• Toyota: Models such as the Supra, Celica, and various inline‑four and V6 engines.
• Land Rover: Includes Range Rover, Discovery, Defender, and Land Cruiser series.
• Dodge & Ford: Certain models with standard oil filter specifications.
• Mercedes‑Benz, Chevrolet, Chrysler, and others: Where the 3/4" threaded filter is specified in the service manual.

Always consult your vehicle’s owner or service manual to confirm compatibility before installation.

Installation Instructions

1. Preparation: Warm up the engine to operating temperature, then turn it off and allow it to cool slightly. Place a drain pan beneath the oil filter housing to catch any residual oil.
2. Remove Old Filter: Using an appropriate wrench or filter socket, unscrew the existing oil filter counter‑clockwise until it releases. Be prepared for a small amount of oil to spill; wipe up promptly.
3. Seal Check: Inspect the rubber gasket on the new P4014. If it appears damaged or worn, replace it with a fresh seal to ensure a proper seal.
4. Install New Filter: Align the filter’s threaded side with the housing and hand‑tighten clockwise until snug. Finish with an additional 1/2 turn using a wrench, but avoid overtightening which can damage the gasket.
5. Check for Leaks: After installation, start the engine briefly to allow oil pressure to build. Inspect the filter area for any signs of leakage; tighten slightly if necessary.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the oil filter at every oil change interval recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
• If you perform backwashing, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for pressure and duration to avoid damaging the filter media.
• Store unused filters in a dry, cool environment to preserve their integrity.

Benefits of Choosing Bosch P4014
