Detailed Product Description

The Pronto Standard Life PO252 engine oil filter uses enhanced cellulose filter media to trap contaminants effectively while maintaining oil flow. Its spin-on design simplifies replacement, and 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 opens at 17 psi to allow oil circulation if the filter becomes clogged, protecting the engine from oil starvation. With a burst pressure rating of 218 psi, this filter withstands high-pressure conditions without failure. The precise gasket dimensions and thread size ensure a secure fit on compatible engines.
