The filter has a height of 136.2 mm and a diameter of 73.2 mm.

How do I know if this fits my car?

Please verify your vehicle's specific fitment requirements using the part number OX 557D against your manufacturer's service manual or a verified parts compatibility database.

Why is it called an ECO filter?

How often should I change this filter?

You should change the filter according to the service interval recommendations specified in your vehicle owner's manual.

Troubleshooting

Oil leaking from the filter housing after installation

Ensure the new O-ring is properly seated in the groove and not pinched. Verify the housing cap is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Difficulty removing the old filter element

Ensure you are using the correct housing removal tool and that the engine has cooled to prevent thermal expansion of the housing components.

Filter housing cap feels stuck

Check for debris in the threads and ensure you are turning in the correct direction. Avoid using excessive force to prevent breaking the plastic housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting the installation, always verify your specific vehicle fitment using the MPN (OX 557D). To install, locate the oil filter housing on your engine block. Unscrew the housing cap using the appropriate socket, remove the old filter element, and carefully replace the old O-rings with the fresh seals included in the box. Lubricate the new O-rings with a light coating of clean engine oil before seating the housing cap. It is vital not to overtighten the plastic housing cap, as this can cause cracking; consult your vehicle's service manual for the specific torque settings. Store the filter in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the filter media until it is ready for use.
