MAHLE Improves oil filter insert for easier install

OX 1075D Incorporates three crucial design changes

MAHLE Improves oil filter insert for easier install

MAHLE Aftermarket has enhanced its OX 1075D oil filter insert, focusing on easier installation for technicians. 

The optimised design features three key improvements:

Fleece Sealing Disc:  A new fleece disc guarantees a secure seal between the clean and dirty sides of the oil system.  The disc’s special perforation creates a chambered seal during assembly – for optimal performance, MAHLE recommends pre-coating the fleece with fresh engine oil.

Elimination of Positioning Aids:  Previously used to prevent damage to the front sealing ring, these aids are no longer necessary due to the upgraded sealing system.

New Plastic Alloy:  A new plastic alloy allows the filter insert to achieve a secure seal directly against the plastic housing, eliminating the need for a separate rubber sealing ring.  As with other oil filters, pre-coating the sealing surfaces with fresh engine oil is still recommended for a smooth installation.

Alan Povey, Quality, Warranty and Technical Manager at MAHLE Aftermarket, said:

“We’re committed to continuous improvement of our products.  The enhancements to the OX 1075D oil filter insert showcase this dedication, ensuring our customers have the best possible solutions.”

The optimised OX 1075D is directly installable without requiring any modifications.
