- Helps protect against engine wear by screening out abrasives, such as carbon, sand, dust and bits of metal before they can get into your oil
- Pressure-relief valves help minimize the chance of contaminated oil circulating back into the engine
- Pressure-relief valves also help maintain the supply of oil to the engine under extreme cold conditions or if the filter gets clogged
- Steel cases are “ironed” for a precise fit, fluted to ease removal and painted to resist rust
| - Large media area Provides optimal capacity and efficiency
- Fluted case end Helps make removal easier
- Well bonded end plates Help keep consistent pleat spacing
- Perforated steel center tube Helps prevent collapse under pressure
| - Help prevent oil from draining out of the filter and engine when the engine is not running
- Resist the aging effects that an engine’s high heat can cause
- Silicone, available in many Motorcraft oil filter anti-drain back valves, is superior to nitrile rubber, which can become brittle over time
- Efficient filter media offers increased dirt-collecting capability and ability to capture more engine-harming particles
