MANN-FILTER Oil Filter W 8017

MANN-FILTER W 8017 Oil Filter
The MANN-FILTER W 8017 is a high-quality product designed for cleaning engine oil in combustion vehicles. Manufactured by the German company MANN+HUMMEL — a specialist in filtration technologies for over 80 years — this filter is trusted by both car manufacturers and individual users.

Purpose and Function
The primary role of the W 8017 filter is to effectively remove contaminants from engine oil, such as:

– metal shavings,
– carbon deposits,
– soot particles,
– dust and other micro-impurities.

During engine operation, the oil circulates under pressure generated by the oil pump. As it flows through the filter, it gets cleaned — protecting the engine from premature wear and possible mechanical failures. Regular oil filtration has a direct impact on engine lifespan, performance, and reducing the risk of costly repairs.

Construction and Technology
The MANN W 8017 is a spin-on (canister-type) filter that:

– contains a high-quality filtration element made of pleated cellulose or synthetic fiber, providing a large filtration surface,
– includes an anti-drainback valve that prevents oil from draining out of the filter after engine shutdown — ensuring faster oil supply at next startup,
– features a bypass (overpressure) valve — which opens when the filter is clogged or at low temperatures, allowing oil to flow and preventing engine damage.

Replacement and Maintenance
It is recommended to replace the oil filter at every engine oil change — typically every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers (or according to the car manufacturer's guidelines). Changing the filter is a crucial part of routine maintenance and affects:

– proper oil pressure,
– lower fuel consumption,
– reduced engine wear,
– extended oil lifespan.
