Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before installation, it is crucial to verify that this oil filter housing cap is compatible with your specific MERCEDES-BENZ or EVOBUS vehicle. Check your vehicle's manual and compare the OEM numbers (A000 180 24 38, 000 180 24 38) with the part number 108012. Ensure all key specifications like height (145 mm) and outer diameter (100 mm) match your requirements.

Care: This part requires minimal care. Regularly inspect it during oil changes for any signs of damage, cracks, or improper sealing. Ensure the area around the cap is clean to prevent dirt from entering the oil system.
