Donaldson P558615 Oil Filter

• An oil filter is a crucial component in the lubrication system of an internal combustion engine. Its primary function is to remove impurities and contaminants from the engine oil, ensuring that only clean oil circulates through the engine. This helps to maintain proper lubrication, reduce wear and tear on engine components, and extend the overall life of the engine. The oil filter contains a porous material, usually made of paper, synthetic fibers, or a combination of both. As the engine oil flows through the filter, this material captures and retains contaminants such as dirt, metal particles, and sludge. The oil filter has a sealing gasket that ensures a tight connection between the filter and the engine, preventing oil leaks.
• They are typically located in the engine’s lubrication system, either mounted directly on the engine block or housed within an external filter housing. They require periodic replacement as part of routine maintenance to ensure continued effectiveness in protecting the engine.
• They are designed to remove particles of various sizes, including both large and small contaminants.
