Description:
The MAHLE OX 196/3 D Oil Filter Kit delivers dependable engine protection with precision-engineered German quality. Designed as a cartridge insert type filter with a high-grade O-ring, this kit ensures consistent oil flow and effective contaminant removal under all driving conditions. Its advanced pleated filter media provides cold-start stability and resists pressure spikes up to 20 bar, while the integrated pressure relief and non-return valves maintain oil supply even during cold starts or extended service intervals.
Engineered for performance and sustainability, the MAHLE filter system supports both standard and synthetic motor oils and offers an eco-friendly, cost-efficient solution by replacing only the filter element instead of the entire housing. Trusted worldwide by OEMs and professionals alike, MAHLE filters maintain oil purity, reduce wear, and extend engine life.
