Engine Oil Filter WIX FILTERS WL7089

Description:

Engine Oil Filter WL7089 WIX FILTERS is a type of oil filter that attaches to the engine with a threaded connection. It is the most common type of oil filter and is available in a wide range of models and prices.

The filter consists of the following parts:

Filter body: This is the cylindrical part of the filter that attaches to the engine. It is typically made of metal or plastic.

Sealing gasket: This is a rubber or plastic gasket that provides a seal between the filter and the engine.

Filter element: This is a paper or synthetic element that traps particles of dirt and other contaminants from the engine oil.

It is important to note that when replacing a screw-on oil filter, a new sealing ring must be used. This will help to ensure a seal between the filter and the engine and prevent oil leaks.

The advantages of screw-on oil filters are:

• Ease of installation
• Wide selection of available models
• Affordable price

The disadvantages include:

• Potential for damage if installed incorrectly
• Requirement for special tools for removal and installation
