This product line focuses on delivering consistent filtration performance and durability, making it suitable for routine maintenance on vehicles such as the Toyota Corolla, Lexus ES300h, and Pontiac Vibe.

Product Details and Specifications

The Bosch 72229WS oil filter uses cellulose paper as its filtering material, providing a balance between filtration efficiency and flow rate. 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 ensures oil continues to circulate even if the filter becomes clogged, protecting the engine from oil starvation. With a micron rating of 30, this filter effectively traps contaminants that can cause engine damage. The nitrile gasket ensures a secure seal to prevent leaks, and the filter’s burst pressure rating of 200 PSI confirms its ability to withstand high-pressure conditions within the engine oil system.
