About the Bosch Workshop Oil Filter Line

The Bosch Workshop Oil Filter line is designed to meet the demands of professional automotive service environments. This product line focuses on delivering reliable filtration performance with durable construction and precise fitment. The 72228WS model exemplifies this approach by combining robust filter media and essential valve features to protect engines across multiple vehicle makes and models.

Detailed Product Description

The Bosch 72228WS oil filter uses cellulose paper filter media, which effectively traps contaminants while allowing optimal oil flow. Its spin-on design with an M20x1.5 thread size ensures compatibility with various vehicles such as the Honda Accord, Toyota 4Runner, Subaru Outback, and Ford Escape. 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 maintains oil circulation even if the filter becomes clogged, protecting the engine from oil starvation. With a burst pressure rating of 200 PSI, this filter is built to withstand demanding operating conditions.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Prevents engine wear caused by contaminated oil
• Reduces risk of dry starts with anti-drain back valve
• Maintains oil flow under high pressure with bypass relief valve
• Helps avoid engine damage from clogged filters
• Compatible with multiple makes and models including Acura, Hyundai, and Mazda

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the old oil filter is fully drained before removal to minimize spills. Verify the M20x1.5 thread size matches your vehicle’s specifications. Apply a thin layer of clean engine oil to the nitrile gasket before installation to ensure a proper seal. Tighten the filter according to manufacturer torque specifications, avoiding over-tightening as this model does not include a torque nut. Replace the oil filter during regular oil changes to maintain engine health.
