MAHLE oil filters reliably prevent contaminants from entering the lubrication system and maintain oil quality as well as the performance and efficiency of the engine. Thanks to stable pleat geometry, cold start stability is assured. Load peaks up to 20 bar are compensated due to the high pressure resistance of the housing. A pressure relief valve guarantees the oil supply under all conditions—for viscous oil encountered during cold starts or at low temperatures, for extremely contaminated filter elements, or when the replacement intervals have been exceeded. A non-return flow valve prevents the draining of the filter when the engine is switched off and ensures adequate oil supply when the engine is started. High-grade sealing materials and custom-fit connecting pieces assure reliable separation of contaminated and filtered oil.
However, an important consideration for optimum functioning of oil filters is that filters are replaced within the maintenance intervals stipulated by the automobile manufacturers.
With filter cartridges from the OX and OX-Eco program we offer particularly economical solutions for repair shops: instead of replacing the complete filter, only the dirty filter element has to be renewed. This is an ecologically sensible solution that saves material and disposal costs. In the OX-Eco version, the cartridges are metal-free and can therefore be completely incinerated. Oil filter cartridges are available for all oil filters with removable housings.
Hydraulic spin-on filters with increased wall thickness and more stable end plates are specially matched to the high pressures in hydraulic systems of up to 40 bar. Often the multifaceted collar is eliminated to allow greater pulsation dampening. More durable materials such as special non-wovens and synthetic media are used in hydraulic spin-on filters and filter cartridges, since hydraulic oil contains different components. Special spin-on filters and filter cartridges that are suitable for use with hydraulic oil are available.
