• Robust Housing: Constructed from high‑strength aluminum alloy to resist corrosion and withstand the harsh operating conditions typical of utility vehicles.
• Secure Seal Technology: Integrated gasket system prevents leaks, maintaining pressure integrity even under extreme temperature variations.
• Easy Installation: Standardized dimensions (W = 96 mm, D = 36 mm) match a wide range of OEM and aftermarket housings, allowing for quick swaps during routine maintenance.

Performance Specifications

Benefits for Utility Vehicle Operators

Utility vehicles often operate in dusty, oily, or corrosive environments. The MANN‑FILTER W 962/36 addresses these challenges by:

• Reducing Engine Wear: By filtering out abrasive particles, the filter protects bearings, pistons, and camshafts from premature degradation.
• Improving Fuel Efficiency: A clean oil system reduces friction, allowing engines to run smoother and consume less fuel.
• Extending Service Intervals: The high‑capacity media allows for longer periods between changes without compromising protection.
• Ensuring Compliance: Meets or exceeds industry standards such as ISO 4406, DIN 52900, and SAE J2000, supporting regulatory requirements in many markets.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Warm the engine to operating temperature; this reduces oil viscosity and eases filter removal.
2. Removal: Use a suitable wrench to loosen the existing filter. Allow residual oil to drain into a catch pan.
3. Inspection: Check the housing for damage or debris that could compromise seal integrity.
4. Installation: Align the new filter’s gasket with the mounting surface, then screw on by hand until snug. Tighten to the recommended torque using a calibrated wrench.
5. Verification: Inspect for leaks around the gasket and ensure the oil level is correct before restarting the engine.

Maintenance Tips

• Schedule filter changes at every 10,000 km or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Always use a clean container to collect drained oil; avoid contaminating it with dust or metal shavings.
• Inspect the filter housing gasket for wear after each change; replace if any signs of cracking appear.
• Keep the filter storage area dry and free from extreme temperatures to preserve media integrity.

Compatibility Overview

The MANN‑FILTER W 962/36 is engineered for a broad spectrum of utility vehicle engines, including:

• Diesel engines ranging from 4.0 L to 6.5 L displacement.
• Gasoline engines up to 3.5 L with high‑performance compression ratios.
• Hybrid powertrains where oil filtration is critical for both internal combustion and electric components.

Quality Assurance & Manufacturing Excellence

MANN‑FILTER’s production facilities adhere to ISO 9001:2015 standards, ensuring consistent product quality. Each filter undergoes:

• Pre‑manufacturing Inspection: Material verification and dimensional checks.
