Detailed Product Description

The PG1A engine oil filter features enhanced cellulose filter media that effectively traps dirt, metal particles, and other contaminants to protect engine components. Its spin-on design simplifies installation and replacement. The built-in anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing dry starts and wear. The bypass relief valve activates between 14 and 17 psi to maintain oil flow even if the filter becomes clogged, ensuring continuous lubrication. With a burst pressure rating of 290 psi, this filter withstands high-pressure conditions without failure. The filter’s flow rate of 25 liters per minute supports efficient oil circulation, critical for engine health. The NBR gasket with a thickness of 0.20 inches and precise inside and outside diameters ensures a tight seal to prevent leaks.
