Detailed Product Description

The PG257 engine oil filter features enhanced cellulose media that effectively traps contaminants while allowing optimal oil flow at 25 liters per minute. Its spin-on design with a 3/4"-16UNF thread size ensures straightforward installation and compatibility with specified vehicles. The inclusion of an anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during startup. Additionally, the bypass relief valve activates between 14 and 17 psi to maintain oil circulation if the filter becomes clogged. The filter’s robust construction supports a burst pressure of up to 290 psi, ensuring durability under demanding conditions. The NBR gasket with a thickness of 0.2 inches and precise inside and outside diameters guarantees a tight seal to prevent leaks.
