Mann Filter W 962/38 Oil Filter

The MANN‑FILTER W 962/38 Oil Filter is a high‑performance filtration solution specifically engineered for commercial and heavy‑duty vehicles. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern engines, this filter delivers exceptional protection against contaminants while maintaining optimal oil flow.

Key Features and Benefits

• Superior Contaminant Capture: The filter employs a multi‑layer media system that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, ensuring the engine oil remains clean for extended periods.
• Durable Construction: Constructed from high‑quality polypropylene and reinforced with a robust metal housing, the filter resists deformation under high pressure and temperature conditions.
• Low Pressure Drop: Engineered to maintain a minimal pressure differential (0.5 psi) across the filter, it preserves engine efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.
• Wide Compatibility: The W 962/38 is compatible with a broad range of commercial vehicles, including those from manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Volvo, Iveco, and other heavy‑duty OEMs.
• Easy Installation: Designed for quick replacement, the filter features a standard threaded connection (UNF‑1B) that fits most existing oil filter housings without modification.
• Long Service Life: With an extended service interval of up to 10,000 km or 12 months, depending on operating conditions, the filter reduces maintenance frequency and downtime.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine has cooled. Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental start‑up.
2. Drain Old Oil: Place an oil pan beneath the filter housing, remove the drain plug, and allow the old oil to fully drain.
3. Remove Existing Filter: Use a suitable wrench to unscrew the old oil filter. Be prepared for residual oil; wipe the area with a clean rag.
4. Install New Filter: Apply a thin layer of fresh engine oil onto the rubber gasket of the W 962/38. Screw the filter clockwise until it is snug, then give an additional half‑turn to ensure proper sealing.
5. Reassemble: Replace the drain plug and tighten to the manufacturer’s specified torque. Reconnect the battery.
6. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and let it reach operating temperature. Inspect the filter area for any signs of oil leakage; if present, tighten slightly more.

Maintenance Tips

• Always use a clean rag when handling the filter to avoid contaminating the new media.
• Inspect the filter housing for cracks or damage before installation; replace if necessary.
• Keep a spare W 962/38 on hand for emergency replacements during long hauls.
• Record each replacement in the vehicle’s maintenance log to track service intervals accurately.
