Detailed Features and Specifications

The PG4011 oil filter features enhanced cellulose media that efficiently traps dirt and debris while allowing sufficient oil flow. Its spin-on design simplifies replacement, making maintenance more convenient. The built-in 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 ensure oil continues circulating even if the filter becomes clogged, protecting the engine from oil starvation. With a burst pressure rating of 290 psi, the filter maintains structural integrity under high pressure conditions. The micron rating of 15 to 25 balances filtration efficiency with flow rate, supporting engine health. Gasket dimensions and thread size (M18x1.5-6h) are designed to fit securely on compatible vehicles.
