Detailed Features and Specifications

The PO111EX oil filter features a synthetic blend media that balances filtration efficiency and flow rate, helping to protect engine components from wear and contaminants. Its spin-on design simplifies replacement, while the anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during startup.
