Types

By a filtering element material:

• Based on cellulose fibers. They are the most common. They are inexpensive. They have balanced operational characteristics. Thanks to special embossment, the paper pleats do not stick during exploitation. Their ends are connected between one another with the help of clips or high-quality adhesive compound, which excludes possibility of tearing.
• Based on polyester fibers. Such fibers consist of the basis and filtering layers. They withstand the influence of aggressive environment better, for instance, oils with high nitration grade. Cellulose-free MAHLE Original oil filters are 7 times more resistant to ageing, than regular cellulose ones, and have bigger capacity. They do not obstruct oil flow even after continuous use, providing timely supply of the lubricant to engine elements.

By a casing construction:

• Solid. In such parts, the filtering element and housing are the whole assembly and always replaced together. They are easier to mount. Due to significant thickness of walls, the housing of these components is notable for excessive durability, while the powder coating creates reliable protection from corrosion. A special socket eases the installation even in conditions of tight space.
• Dismountable. They allow to replace the filtering element only, which, as a rule, has no metal components and burns out completely at scrapping. There is a special spring inside of these components construction, which provides proper position of the cartridges at next replacement of the filtering element. Their installation requires special skills.
