What It Helps Address

- Service issues in heavy-duty equipment exposed to harsh operating conditions
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the 5/8-18 thread size, 5.178-inch height, and 3.660-inch outer diameter before installation. Because this filter does not use an anti-drain back valve and has no bypass relief valve setting, confirm the engine’s oiling requirements and follow the manufacturer’s service procedure. Pre-lubricate the gasket, tighten to the specified service guidance, and check for leaks after startup.
