Oil Filter - Mann W712/20

Its primary function is to remove contaminants such as dirt, metal particles, and sludge from the engine oil, ensuring clean oil circulates to protect engine components.

This is the manufacturer's specific part number for this oil filter model, indicating its unique specifications and intended applications.

It's recommended to replace the oil filter during every oil change, typically every 5,000-10,000 miles or as specified in your vehicle's owner's manual.

The bypass valve opens at 2.5 bar and ensures that oil can still flow to the engine if the filter becomes clogged or during extremely cold conditions when oil viscosity is high. This prevents oil starvation.

This filter is primarily designed for certain Audi models, but it may fit other vehicles if its specifications (dimensions, thread size, bypass pressure) match. Always verify compatibility using the provided tools or by contacting support.

The filter has a height of 79mm, an outer diameter of 76mm, a gasket outer diameter of 71mm, a gasket inner diameter of 62mm, and a thread size of 3/4-16 UNF.

The product description lists cross-references with brands like Bosch, Fram, and Mahle. It is also listed as compatible with numerous other filter part numbers.

Ensure you are using the correct size oil filter wrench. If stuck, gently tap the filter with a hammer in the direction of loosening, or use a strap wrench for better grip. Be careful not to damage the engine block.

Check that the old filter's gasket was fully removed and not double-gasketed. Ensure the new filter was tightened correctly by hand (hand-tight plus 3/4 to 1 turn) and not overtightened with a wrench. Verify the filter is the correct part number for your vehicle.

Contact customer support with your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine size for assistance in finding the correct filter or confirming if this filter is applicable.
