Mann Filter - W962/6 - Engine Oil Filter

This engine oil filter from Mann-Filter removes particulate and combustion byproducts from the lubricating oil before it circulates through the engine’s bearing surfaces and oil galleries. It mounts on the engine block and receives oil from the pump; the filter media traps contaminants while the bypass valve in the housing allows flow if the element becomes fully loaded. A clogged filter forces the bypass valve open, sending unfiltered oil to the crankshaft and connecting-rod bearings, which accelerates wear. The filter’s thread and seal dimensions match the original housing interface, so the gasket seats correctly and the bypass valve cracks at the intended pressure. On installation, lubricate the gasket with fresh oil and tighten the housing to the specified torque.
