FILTRON Oil filters protect under the pressure

PROTECTION THAT WITHSTANDS EXTREME HEAT*

FILTRON OIL FILTERS ARE ENGINEERED TO PROTECT

*Filters tested at 150°C, which far exceeds oil temperature reached during standard vehicle operation.

FILTRON OIL FILTERS PROTECT UNDER PRESSURE

Modern combustion processes, demanding driving conditions and compact turbo-charged engine design mean oil filters operate at extreme temperatures. 

Every component in our oil filter is engineered to withstand this heat and maintain protection under pressure.​ 

Without a strong-performing filter, contaminants buildup in the oil and increase its resistance to flow, slowing lubrication to critical parts and raising the risk of wear or even total engine failure. 

FILTRON oil filters support oil viscosity and flow, protecting the engine from the moment the vehicle is started.

LABORATORY TESTED AND PROVEN TO PERFORM

Our laboratory technicians took our oil filter and conducted multiple tests on one FILTRON filter and one equivalent competitor filter. 

We’ve explored the results of these tests – part of a much wider testing programme – in great detail, to show how FILTRON filters are designed and engineered to protect under pressure.
