Oil filters

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 the pressure

FILTRON OIL FILTERS PROTECT UNDER PRESSURE

Modern stop/start driving puts auto parts under extraordinary pressure. At peak load, oil reaches 130ºC – the kind of extreme temperature at which many industrial plastics and adhesives begin to weaken. FILTRON oil filters are engineered to protect in even extreme conditions. In a laboratory test against an equivalent competitor filter, our filter captured 56% more contaminants than competitor filters* offering vital protection to critical parts.

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

OIL FILTERS

The oil filter stops impurities in the oil which are passed on from the combustion chamber and are created during the friction of the engine parts that are working together. If not for the filter, the contaminated oil would increase the wear of the moving parts, which would directly increase the risk of engine damage.

WHAT DISTINGUISHES FILTRON OIL FILTERS?

Top quality materials

The quality of our materials is laboratory-controlled, which lets us ensure that both the filter medium and the valves, springs, housings and other filter elements meet their requirements, even in the most difficult operating conditions.

Verified tightness

During the production process, we carry out a number of tightness tests on oil filters which have a housing. Tests are carried out using modern and automated measuring machines. When buying a FILTRON oil filter, you can be sure that it resistant to oil leakage.

Precise valves tailored to requirements

In spin-on oil filters with valves, it is important that the design and properties of the valves match the requirements of the engine or vehicle manufacturer. The valves in FILTRON oil filters are designed according to the individual requirements so that the filter always functions properly in the oil system.

The use of modern plastics

Replacing metal elements of the oil filter with plastic elements is a common trend in the filter industry. This facilitates the utilisation of the filter and reduces its mass. The plastics we use are thoroughly laboratory tested, therefore their quality always meets any stringent requirements.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE SPIN-ON OIL FILTER

TYPES OF OIL FILTERS

Spin-on filter

This type of filter consists of an element located in a steel threaded housing with which the filter is screwed directly to the engine body. The advantages of the spin-on filter are the high resistance of its structure to damage and the simple process of its replacement. Replacing the spin-on oil filter happens virtually without the risk of introducing impurities into the engine oil system.

Oil filter element

They are mounted in sealed housings integrated with the engine. Housings usually have all the valves needed for proper filter operation in the engine oil system and the parts positioning the filter element, which guarantee its tightness in the housing. Modern oil filter elements are manufactured without the use of metal parts. The bottom-caps and cores of this type of filters are made of modern plastics. The lack of metal components is not only better for the environment but makes for easier disposal.
