Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The PG241EX engine oil filter features a synthetic blend media that balances filtration efficiency and flow rate, rated at 7.93 gallons per minute. Its 25-micron rating ensures effective removal of contaminants while maintaining optimal oil flow. 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 activates between 14 and 17 psi to maintain oil circulation even if the filter becomes clogged. Constructed as a spin-on type, this filter measures 3.44 inches in height with a 3/4-16 UNF inside thread size, making it compatible with a variety of vehicles. The silicone gasket, with an outside diameter of approximately 2.89 inches, provides a reliable seal to prevent leaks under high pressure, supported by a burst pressure rating of 310 psi.
