Machined Nut Plate: The oil filter features a machined nut plate with no burrs, promoting a secure fit and reducing leaks or loosening over time. Pliable, Soft Seal: A pliable, soft seal is present between the element and nut plate, which guarantees no contamination between clean and dirty oil, maintaining the efficiency and cleanliness of the engine. Element Secured with Full-Length Metal Band: The filter element is secured with a full-length metal band, providing media integrity and guarding against rupture of the seam, promoting consistent filtration performance. Heavy-Duty Spring: A heavy-duty spring is used to maintain the seal of the element to the nut plate, promoting a tight and secure connection throughout the filter's lifespan.
