• Filter Type: Screw‑on (anschraubfilter) with an integrated anti‑return valve to prevent backflow of contaminated oil.
• Material Composition: Premium synthetic media combined with a high‑density polymer housing for durability and resistance to temperature extremes.
• Capacity: Designed to accommodate typical engine oil volumes ranging from 4 L to 8 L, depending on vehicle specifications.

Compatibility Overview

The WP 928/80 is engineered for a wide range of manufacturers and models. Below are representative categories that the filter supports:

• Volkswagen (VW) – including Taro pickups, Passat, Golf, and commercial variants.
• Ford – suitable for Ranger, Transit, Focus, and other passenger models.
• Toyota – compatible with Land Cruiser, Hilux, Hiace, Corolla, and Avensis series.
• Mazda – fits CX‑5, 3, 6, and various pickup configurations.
• Other European Brands – such as VAG (Volkswagen Group), Avensis, Metrocab, and Taro.

Because the filter uses a standard M24 x 1.5 thread, it can be adapted to many aftermarket housings with minimal modification. Always verify the specific vehicle’s oil filter specifications before installation.

Performance Features

• High Filtration Efficiency: Captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, protecting pistons, bearings, and camshafts from wear.
• Low Pressure Drop: Maintains optimal oil flow, reducing engine load and improving fuel economy.
• Anti‑Return Valve: Prevents backflow of contaminated oil into the crankcase, preserving cleanliness of the lubrication system.
• Extended Service Life: Designed to last through multiple oil changes under normal driving conditions, reducing maintenance frequency.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Warm the engine slightly to ensure oil flow. Drain any excess oil if necessary.
2. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew the existing filter using a suitable wrench, allowing oil to drain into a container.
3. Clean Housing: Wipe the filter housing with a clean rag to remove debris.
4. Apply Sealant (Optional): Some manufacturers recommend applying a thin layer of factory sealant on the threads for an extra leak‑proof seal.
5. Screw in WP 928/80: Hand‑tighten until snug, then give an additional quarter turn with the wrench to ensure proper seating.
6. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and observe the filter area for any signs of oil leakage. Tighten slightly if necessary.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the filter at every scheduled oil change to maintain optimal filtration performance.
• Avoid over‑tightening, which can damage threads or compromise the anti‑return valve.
• Inspect the filter housing for cracks or wear before each replacement cycle.

Benefits of Choosing MANN‑FILTER WP 928/80

• Engine Protection: By trapping contaminants, it reduces wear on critical engine components, extending service life.
