Original MANN-FILTER Oil filter WP 12 308 – For Passenger Cars and Utility Vehicles

MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter WP 12 308

The MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter WP 12 308 is a high‑performance filtration solution designed for passenger cars and utility vehicles. It delivers superior protection for the engine by capturing contaminants that could otherwise cause wear, reduce efficiency, or shorten service intervals.

Key Features

• Advanced Filter Media: The filter employs a multi‑layered media system engineered to trap particles as small as 0.5 µm. This ensures that even the finest impurities are removed before they reach critical engine components.
• Robust Construction: Constructed from durable polypropylene and reinforced with a metal housing, the filter resists deformation under high pressure and temperature conditions typical of modern engines.
• High Flow Capacity: Designed to maintain optimal oil flow, the WP 12 308 reduces resistance compared to standard filters, contributing to better engine performance and fuel economy.
• Easy Installation: The filter features a standard threaded (UN‑2B) mounting system, making it compatible with most passenger car and light utility vehicle engines without the need for adapters or modifications.
• Long Service Life: With its high filtration efficiency and robust media, this filter can extend oil change intervals, providing cost savings and reduced maintenance frequency.

The WP 12 308 is engineered for a wide range of vehicles, including but not limited to:

• Passenger cars with engines ranging from 1.0 L to 2.5 L.
• Light utility and commercial vehicles such as vans, pickups, and small trucks.
• Both gasoline and diesel engines that require a reliable oil filtration system.

Its universal design ensures that it can be used in various climates and operating conditions, from hot desert environments to cold mountainous regions.

1. Preparation: Warm the engine slightly to reduce oil viscosity. This helps prevent air pockets during filter removal.
2. Removal: Use a suitable wrench or socket to unscrew the existing filter. Allow any residual oil to drain into a container.
3. Inspection: Check the old filter for clogging or damage; discard it properly.
4. Installation: Place the new WP 12 308 onto the engine’s filter housing, ensuring that the threaded side faces the correct direction. Tighten securely but avoid over‑tightening to prevent damage.
5. Check for Leaks: After installation, start the engine and inspect the filter area for any oil leaks. Adjust if necessary.

Choosing the MANN‑FILTER Oil Filter WP 12 308 offers several tangible advantages:

• Engine Longevity: By removing contaminants, it protects pistons, bearings, and camshafts from premature wear.
• Fuel Efficiency: A clean oil system reduces friction, allowing the engine to operate more efficiently.
• Reduced Emissions: Cleaner combustion processes lead to lower exhaust emissions, supporting environmental compliance.
• Reliability: Consistent performance across a range of operating temperatures and driving conditions ensures dependable vehicle operation.

The filter’s construction is optimized for durability and filtration efficiency:

• Media Layers: A combination of polyester, glass fiber, and activated carbon layers provides multi‑stage filtration.
• Housing: Polypropylene core with a metal reinforcement ring offers structural integrity under pressure.
• Seal: Rubber gasket ensures a tight seal against the filter housing, preventing oil leakage.

• Check the filter during routine oil changes; replace if it appears clogged or discolored.
• Avoid using incompatible filters that may not fit the threading or may have lower filtration standards.
• Store unused filters in a dry, cool place to preserve media integrity.

MANN‑FILTER is a globally recognized brand known for its commitment to quality and innovation. The WP 12 308 reflects this heritage through:

• Rigorous testing under extreme conditions.
