MANN-FILTER W 712/52 – Oil Filter

The MANN-FILTER W 712/52 is a high-quality oil filter that meets the stringent quality standards used in both the automotive industry and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) production. Developed by MANN+HUMMEL—a global leader in filtration technology with over 70 years of experience—the filter is designed to ensure reliable protection for a wide range of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

Its construction and advanced features effectively protect the engine from contaminants, ensuring safe operation even under challenging road conditions.

Application and Function of the W 712/52 Filter
The primary function of the W 712/52 oil filter is to clean the engine oil by removing solid particles that result from engine component friction and external contaminants that enter the lubrication system. Effective filtration guarantees proper lubrication, reduces mechanical wear, lowers the risk of failure, and extends engine life.

Replacing the filter regularly helps prevent buildup in the oil system, which could otherwise lead to deposits and reduced engine performance.

Design Features and Technology

• High-performance filter media – specially engineered filtering material with a large active surface area ensures high contaminant retention while maintaining optimal oil flow.

• Anti-drain valve – retains oil in the filter when the engine is off, preventing dry starts.

• By-pass valve – allows oil flow in case the filter becomes clogged, ensuring continued lubrication and engine safety.

• Pressure- and corrosion-resistant housing – made from durable, oxidation-resistant materials for leak-proof and stable operation.

• Precision-threaded mount and sealing – ensures tight installation and easy servicing.
