E107HD166 Hengst Oil filter

The Hengst E107HD166 oil filter serves as a vital part in the lubrication system of an engine. Its primary function is to capture impurities and contaminants in the oil, thus protecting the engine from potential damage. This product is suitable for use in passenger vehicles and commercial fleets. Oil filters are cylindrical pressure-drop filters positioned in the engine’s oil lubrication system. They remove ferrous particles, dirt, and combustion byproducts from circulating oil, protecting critical engine components from wear. Filter media typically consists of pleated cellulose, synthetic blends, or full synthetic materials, varying in efficiency measured by micron rating. Construction includes a metal housing, internal bypass valve to maintain oil flow during blockage, and a threaded mounting boss compatible with vehicle-specific adapters. Anti-drainback valves prevent oil from flowing back into the sump when the engine is off, ensuring immediate lubrication upon startup. Filter capacity is rated in quarts or liters and dictates service intervals.
