Oil filter MANN-FILTER W 610/6

Oil filter MANN-FILTER W 610/6
The MANN-FILTER W 610/6 oil filter is a high-quality component used in the lubrication system of combustion engines. Manufactured by the German company MANN+HUMMEL, one of the world’s leading filtration technology producers, it is known for its high efficiency, durability, and compliance with OEM standards. The MANN-FILTER brand has been delivering solutions for over 70 years, used both as original equipment (OE) and in the aftermarket.

Function of the oil filter
The oil filter plays a key role in the engine's lubrication system. Its main task is to remove contaminants from engine oil that are generated during engine operation. These include:

• metal particles

• combustion residues (soot, carbon deposits)

• deposits from oil degradation

• external contaminants that may enter the system

Without effective filtration, engine components wear out faster, performance decreases, and the risk of failure increases.

Design features of the W 610/6 model

• Filter type: spin-on (steel housing with thread and valves)

• Filter media: specialized cellulose-synthetic paper, pleated to increase the filtration surface

• Bypass valve: opens under high pressure or when the filter element is clogged, allowing oil to flow and preventing engine seizure

• Anti-drainback valve: prevents oil from draining out of the filter after engine shutdown, ensuring immediate lubrication on restart

• Mounting thread: standard, compatible with a wide range of vehicles

Application and compatibility
The W 610/6 filter is used in many popular car models from brands such as:

Fiat,
Opel,
Peugeot,
Renault,
Ford,

and others, depending on the specific engine.

Detailed technical data as well as a list of equivalents and OE numbers are available in the manufacturer's catalog. A dedicated application table can be prepared upon request.

Benefits of using the W 610/6 filter

• Ensures engine oil cleanliness throughout its service life

• Protects sensitive engine components from accelerated wear

• Helps maintain optimal pressure in the lubrication system

• Increases the lifespan of the oil and the entire power unit

• Meets and often exceeds car manufacturers’ requirements

Replacement recommendations
The W 610/6 oil filter should be replaced:

• with every engine oil change, usually at intervals of 10,000–20,000 km, depending on operating conditions and vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations

• at least once a year, even if mileage is low, as chemical and physical factors degrade the oil and the effectiveness of the filter element over time
