About the Bosch Workshop Oil Filter Line

The Bosch Workshop Oil Filter line is designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional automotive service environments. This product line focuses on delivering consistent filtration performance and durability, making it suitable for a variety of passenger vehicles. The 72230WS model exemplifies Bosch’s commitment to quality by incorporating essential features such as anti-drain back and bypass valves to maintain engine protection under different operating conditions.

Detailed Product Description

The Bosch 72230WS oil filter uses cellulose paper as its filtering media, which effectively captures contaminants down to 30 microns, helping to maintain clean engine oil. 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 dry starts and wear. Additionally, the bypass relief valve ensures continuous oil flow even if the filter becomes clogged, protecting the engine from oil starvation. The nitrile gasket provides a secure seal to prevent leaks, while the filter’s burst pressure rating of 200 PSI ensures structural integrity under high pressure conditions.
