Original MANN-FILTER Oil Filter W 1170/15 – For Trucks, Buses and Utility Vehicles

Original MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter W 1170/15 – For Trucks, Buses and Utility Vehicles

The MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter W 1170/15 is engineered specifically for heavy‑duty commercial vehicles, including trucks, buses, and utility fleets. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of high‑performance engines, this filter delivers superior protection against contaminants while maintaining optimal oil flow.

Key Design Features

• High‑Efficiency Filtration Media: Utilizes a multi‑layered filtration system that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, ensuring the engine receives clean oil and reducing wear on critical components.
• Robust Construction: The filter housing is made from high‑strength polypropylene, providing durability against vibration, temperature extremes, and mechanical shock common in commercial operations.
• Non‑Return Valve (Check Valve): Guarantees that oil flows only in the correct direction, preventing backflow that could compromise engine lubrication.
• Threaded Mounting: The filter features a standard 1-12 UNF thread size with an integrated gasket for a secure seal, compatible with most heavy‑duty engine designs.
• Easy Installation: Designed for quick replacement, the filter can be installed without special tools, reducing downtime during routine maintenance.

Performance Benefits

The MANN‑FILTER W 1170/15 offers a combination of high filtration efficiency and low pressure drop. This balance ensures that:

• Engine Longevity: By trapping contaminants, the filter protects bearings, pistons, and camshafts from abrasive wear.
• Fuel Efficiency: Maintaining proper oil flow reduces engine drag, contributing to better fuel economy over long hauls.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Cleaner oil extends intervals between oil changes, lowering operational expenses for fleet managers.

Compatibility and Applications

The filter is specifically tailored for a range of commercial engines. Common applications include:

• Diesel engines in medium‑to‑heavy trucks (e.g., Iveco, Fiat, Freightliner)
• Bus powertrains used in public transportation and charter services
• Utility vehicles such as refuse trucks, tow trucks, and construction equipment

Engineers and mechanics can confirm compatibility by matching the filter’s thread size (1-12 UNF) and mounting dimensions to the vehicle’s specifications.

Installation Procedure

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool. Drain any residual oil from the filter housing if necessary.
2. Removal: Unscrew the old filter using a wrench, allowing oil to drain into a container.
3. Cleaning: Wipe the mounting surface with a clean rag to remove debris and old gasket material.
4. Installation: Place the new MANN‑FILTER W 1170/15 onto the housing, aligning the threads. Tighten by hand until snug, then give an additional quarter turn with a wrench.
5. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and observe for any oil seepage around the filter seal.

Maintenance Guidelines

While the filter is designed for long service life, regular checks are recommended to ensure optimal performance:

• Visual Inspection: Every 10,000–15,000 km or as per manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Pressure Drop Test: Measure the differential pressure across the filter; a significant increase indicates clogging.
• Replacement Interval: Typically every 30,000–45,000 km for heavy‑duty engines, but adjust based on operating conditions such as dusty environments or high load cycles.
