Detailed Product Description

The Bosch 72165WS oil filter utilizes cellulose paper filter media, which effectively traps contaminants while maintaining adequate oil flow. Its spin-on design simplifies installation and replacement. The anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during startup. The bypass relief valve activates between 25 and 35 PSI to maintain oil circulation even if the filter becomes clogged. With a burst pressure rating of 200 PSI, this filter is built to withstand demanding engine conditions. The nitrile gasket ensures a secure seal to prevent leaks, and the 3/4-16 thread size matches OEM specifications for the listed Mercedes-Benz models.
