One particularly environmentally friendly system for the filtration of engine oil is the metal-free filter element from MANN+HUMMEL. It can be fully incinerated and sits in a housing that is firmly fixed to the engine and does not have to be replaced, as it is a “lifetime component”. Only the filter element has to be replaced; it consists of the filter medium and the end disks. This reduction in the replacement parts results in a high level of economy and environmental friendliness.

The MANN+HUMMEL oil filter media have been specially developed for use in modern engines. Their distinctive feature is their high dirt absorption capacity, filter fineness that is exactly coordinated with the engine requirements, and high resistance to chemicals. The service life of these long-life filter media in the passenger car field has already reached 50,000 km. With the fully synthetic filter media from MANN+HUMMEL even the increasing demands of future generations of engines can be met.
