About the Bosch Workshop Oil Filter Product Line

The Bosch Workshop Oil Filter line is engineered for professional-grade filtration solutions tailored to meet the demands of various automotive engines. This product line focuses on delivering consistent filtration performance using cellulose paper media and incorporates critical features such as anti-drain back and bypass relief valves. The 72226WS model exemplifies this approach by combining durability and effective filtration for compatible vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

The Bosch 72226WS oil filter uses cellulose paper as its filtering material, which efficiently traps contaminants down to a 30-micron rating, helping to protect engine components from wear. Its spin-on design with an M20x1.5 thread size allows for straightforward installation on compatible vehicles. The inclusion of an anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during startup. Additionally, the bypass relief valve ensures continuous oil flow even if the filter media becomes clogged, maintaining engine lubrication under all conditions. The filter’s burst pressure rating of 200 PSI confirms its ability to withstand high-pressure environments without failure.
