Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The PG2222EX engine oil filter features a synthetic blend media that balances filtration efficiency and flow rate, rated at 7.93 gallons per minute. Its spin-on design simplifies replacement, while the anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter during engine shutdown, reducing wear during startup. The bypass relief valve activates between 22 and 25 psi to maintain oil flow if the filter becomes clogged, protecting the engine from oil starvation. With a burst pressure of 310 psi, this filter withstands high-pressure conditions without failure. The silicone gasket, measuring 0.21 inches thick with an inside diameter of 2.51 inches and an outside diameter of approximately 2.89 inches, provides a durable and reliable seal to prevent leaks. The filter’s height is 3.44 inches, and it features an M22x1.5p thread size for secure mounting.
